Been lurking the forum for some time now. Just wanted to say I was able to step up from a 770 sc acx to the 780 sc acx. Actually sent out my 770 yesterday with 2 day shipping.  I plan on getting a 1440 monitor this summer. Was the difference in my investment worth it? Also, does anyone know what the turn around time is for when the EVGA sends out the step up card?

well just started my step up going from a 3GB classified to 6GB SC. I love the classified but doesn't seem like a good overclocker to be honest.
 

I get a boost clock 1267 stable max 1293

i can't get that... low 12's. i love having a classified but i guess i wanted or thought would get better results.
guessing going form 3GB to 6GB not a bad thing for like $80...

How is the Airflow in your case?  Are you hitting temp issues for your OC or voltage issues?

I got the step up mail 15 days ago , but if i look in detail on my products page it says in que Pending ... and it dont change ... normal ?

Still no answer to whether there will be a reference style cooler design?

Many of us have asked this already and with no answer...

Or is evga sticking with ACX coolers for the 6gb 780 & 6gb 780ti? Palit seems to only be releasing a Jetstream 6gb version and no reference cooler design, too.

not at all... i have an old cast but it's modded and don't keep the side panel on at all. have 3 front 120 fans, 2 120 exaughst and CPU is watercooled. the classified imho is a joke and gimmik i think. there are ppl with normal 780's that kill my overclock. this is coming from a gtx 680 2GB to a Classy and well pretty disappointed which is why i am trying to do this fckn step up and hope get a better card that is great.
 
the dbl bios is amazing but rest of card is a joke so, hoping for better performance and overclock.

Where do you see your position in the queue?

so just pulled the trigger on a 780Ti
am i screwed on stepping up to 6GB ?

Hi Robb
 
Will the step-up program sign-ups open again soon?
 
They are currently closed.

evga_robbHello All, Hello everyone, 780 6GB cards are now available for Step-Up!  Thanks,
Rob

Can we expect reference style coolers on the 780 6GB & 780ti 6GB?

Need to know that too. Had 4 Acx coolers and everyone was bad with scribbling etc. I dont want to use that cooler.

EVGA keeps dodging this question...
Typically, a newly released card has always had a reference cooler released first then ACX or specialty versions released afterwards.
Nvidia probably gave the OK to EVGA & Palit to make a 6gb version but with the agreement they don't f-up their reference version?

Don't bother stepping up. If you look at reviews of the Titan Black (virtually a 6gb 780ti) vs a 3gb 780ti there is no difference. Even at high resolutions. Even most recent reviews of the new Radeon 295x2 (4gb x 2) vs a Titan or 780ti at high surround resolutions the Nvidia cards are not as good. Keep in mind the Radeon only has 1gb more of ram than your 780ti. Its only at 2560x1440 and under is when Nvidia pulls ahead. So with 3gb or 6gb there will not be much difference as you'll most likely run out of gpu horsepower before you hit the ram cap. This of course excludes modded games like Skyrim, but this goes back you'll almost always run out of gpu hp before running out of gpu memory.
