EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Dual FTW Graphics Card with ACX Cooler 3GB GDDR5 384-Bit 03G-P4-3784-KR

This is a rudimentary review and I'll give more updates as it goes later. My rig had SLI setup of two EVGA gtx570 super clock version connected to 24" Asus VG248QE monitor running at 120-144mhz refresh rate. It is still powerful more than enough to handle all the games I currently play and get mostly 90+ frames per second. But it also generates a lot of heat (60 c - 70 c) inside my CM Half-X case. So I decided to give it a try to see how good the gtx780ftw is in term of performance and heating control comparing the my gtx570 sli setup. First, I turned everything up at max setting, in term of performance games (particularly bf3 & cod mw3) were playing a lot smoother, pictures, images and colors looked amazingly defined and better in details. But there was no substantial increase in frame rates. In term of temperature, this gtx780ftw run way cooler 40 c - 55 c during games. However, since the installation of this gtx780ftw, my rig keeps experiencing flickering screen right upon logon to wind7 and it lasts for about 15 second and then it just disappears. This never happened during gaming. And I didn't have this issue with my gtx570 sli setup. This is the reason I gave it a four-star rating. At this price range, IMO it's you who decide to spend $ your $. Updated 11-17-2013 5-star rating, I finally decided to return the gpu and received a replacement. The amazing process was Amazon sent me a new replacement GPU before I even sent back the flickering one. The replacement GPU is now working flawlessly and no more flickering screen. I'm totally satisfied now.

I haven't recieved any of the Holiday Bundle codes yet, it's been 7 days and customer support says I won't be getting any. (This is why it's on 4 stars)On the other hand, I love this card. Upgraded from an AMD 6770 and I'm now getting 70-140fps in BF4 on ultra, with increased resolution scaling. Plays any other game perfectly at well over 90fps. CUDA renders videos fast and my computer just feels like a king!AMD FX-8320 @4.3GHz8gb Mushkin Enhanced1080p LG 23AE53 Monitor

Recently bough this GPU which is really good NVidia based design with EVGA cooler mod but...If you are going to acquire one of this little beasts wait for a good promotional software bundles. Even more if your are debuting on this "life style" because if by any chances you missed any good game promo, neither EVGA nor Amazon will care to honor it. No matter how much you have spent on them!In my case I received Daylight promo code (REALLY?!?!?!) and week or so after they released Watch Dogs promo with also Daylight game... Not good, definitely not good.For me what it counts is the support received after the purchase...Pros:Really good (NVidia) GPUIt can run almost any application at max settingsACX and BIOS maintain GPU on or below 80C on worst case scenarioDUAL BIOS will unlock not a substantial but welcome OC potentialCons:Beside how well ACX performs, you will require a good air flow inside PC case because it will generate insane amount of heat.At least have a good intake and exhaust solution.If you are an enthusiast OC'r this card will not provided much room for such. You should consider other mfgs.Beware of RAM mfgs on this cards, maybe it could be a matter of "Lady Luck".ASIC Quality of my GPU is 65.9% ??? Perform a research and you will understand...Software bundles does not goes on par with the amount you have paid for...

Had to RMA it after a year of use..

EVGA continues to set the gold standard for graphics processor solutions!This GTX 780 FTW is an **AMAZING** card and I'm using it, thrilled to pieces, to drive a Dell U3011 at 2560x1600 plus a 28" 1080p ASUS monitor (# escapes me). This 780 is just a beast and I'm thrilled every time I boot up!As fate would have it, I had barely got the new system up and running when out came the 980s. My initial, and totally impulsive, reflex was to return the 780, with which I was already quite smitten, and use the credit towards a GTX980xx. Amazon's customer service, which is second to none, was happy to provide a return label and I was about to throw the switch to make the tradeout.A few days passed as I continued to be blown away by the performance of my new 780 and ultimately decided to keep it. No regrets! Far exceeding my expectations, it is a monster of a card, and once the initial impulse to get a 980 passed (took about 30 seconds) I am beyond happy with my decision. The interface port offerings on the 780FTW suits my needs perfectly, the performance is buttery smooth and blistering quick, plus it rarely even breaks a sweat. So my plan is to enjoy this brilliant card while the release of the 980s push the price down then perhaps get another one to run SLI and to be perfectly honest, I doubt I will need to.It's not always about having the newest card on the market and I have zero doubt the 780(s) will continue to serve my every need for the foreseeable future. IMHO 4K is not ready for prime time and it hasn't been all that long since 1080P became the de facto standard. So being able to run everything I have, or will need, at 2560x1600 on my main monitor with an ASUS at 1080p to the side is the perfect 'sweet spot' for me. Rendering, Photo Editing, Sims, Games, all perform at well beyond my every need.Without hesitation I give this high performance beast a perfect five out of five stars!

The card itself if amazing. A huge upgrade from my old GTX 470. Runs everything I can throw at it on ULTRA.As stated in the title I did not receive my holiday bundle game code for AC IV and Splinter Cell. This card costs over half a thousand dollars and for that kind of money I want these games. I would have waited for a price drop to order this card if it hadn't been for the "free" games.All that said I'm still glad I have the card but I may end up returning it if I don't receive my games =(

Runs ridiculously cool and quiet, upgrading from SLI GTX 570's and I'm very happy with it. You can play just about anything on ultra, even whilst multi-tasking (I personally have multiple monitors and one GTX 780 ftw supports them fine). Very happy with it, not to mention it arrived within days of ordering with standard (free) shipping.

Wow this card is amazing for the price, will beat anything in its range! i prefer this one over my 295x2 from AMD.u cannot find a better card than this nvidia. i almost max out GTA5 (90%) with no fraps problem or whatever....

Works fine.

I'm absolutely loving it. I can now run any one of my games at max settings without any worry.
