EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified 3072 MB @ techPowerUp

I am often amazed at how much effort goes into a video card review, esp knowing how much work is actually involved.  What I have discovered is that while the long list of benchmarks seems relevant the numbers often reflect a performance curve that can apply to any situation.

That is unless you are dealing with a monster of a GPU on one of the finest PCB designs avialable today.  Yes, I am talking about the EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified.

EVGA's GTX 780 Ti Classified is the fastest GTX 780 Ti we ever tested. It comes with a large overclock out of the box that makes it run above 1175 MHz most of the time. The dual-fan ACX heatsink also provides good cooling, resulting in low temperatures and stable operation at all times.

I'm not really sure what overclocking criteria TPU puts on their video card samples but a max clock of 1090Mhz is not a good representation of what the card can do under normal conditions.  They do mention that they didn't mess with any of the fan profiles meaning that the fans were not cranked up to provide the best cooling.  Knowing this their overclock will be limited but, should still ramp past 1090Mhz. 

Here is our review of the EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified for comparison purposes.
