EVGA Classified vs HOF GTX 780
So I got the new classified 780 today, I am going to use this thread to give my thoughts and benchmarks of the 2 for comparison.
One of the reasons I sent the HOF back was temperatures. I ran the furmark 1080 benchmark on it which lasts for less than a minute, by the end of the test the HOF had reached 98C and I think was still climbing, that to me was not acceptable.
The first thing I did with the Classified was to run the same test. It reached 49C, nuff said.
The Classified is massive, I will post some pics in a bit, it is very well built and looks great.
I was starting to do some benchmarking but the Classified is pretty heavy on power and when I overclocked it and raised the voltage I think it was a bit too much for my aging psu and I am certain it has killed it.
So I had to go out and buy a new psu, I need to fit that in a little while then I can start benching properly.
I will update this thread will pics and results later.
Paul.
Edit: pic of it next to an old gts 8800 which was a big card in It's day lol.
