I have an MSI reference card and it work very well. It is very quiet. I O/C to about 1000Mhz.

The http://www.msi.com/product/vga/gtx_780ti_gaming_3g.html#hero-overview is one of the highest rated cards. It is non reference with a better cooler.

First of all, you need to consider waiting until the GTX 980 is released on September 19th. It may be about 10% faster than a GTX 780 Ti for about $500.

Here is a Market Overview listing all the GTX 780 Ti's available (at least at the time it was published). A reference design is never going to be the best and the reference cooled cards are unable to hit the high sustained Turbo Boost clocks of the custom models. Note that all EVGA cards below the Classified series use reference components, even the SC models with ACX coolers.

The ones with the highest factory overclocks are:
- Gigabyte GHz @ 1085 MHz
- EVGA Kingpin @ 1072 MHz

But that doesn't really tell the whole story since you'll likely be overclocking yourself beyond that anyway. Your simplest strategy will be to try to identify which card has the most power phases. All of the top cards will come with custom components and cooling, which may be hard to quantify, but the power phases are pretty clear and a direct indicator of how well they should overclock.
