Anyway, I am wondering if someone from EVGA can verify which EVGA 780 backplate is right for a 6GB GTX 780 w/ ACX cooler?
 
I am thinking it's the one with the models 3783/3784 from the store, but the 6GB version has a different model number (3787 for the SC version).

I had the 3gb version and upgraded to the 6gb. The card is exactly the same, just has more memory. My gtx780 backplate i had for my 3gb fits perfectly on my 6gb

Thanks SkylerJ. Do you have an EVGA backplate, and if so, can you link which one?

SkylerJ...
 

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of getting as well.
 
Congrats on the 6GB version, will order mine in a few weeks (I still have ~50 days to do it). It should be great until the 980 is released.

Have you installed any games yet?  Strangely it seems like benchmark software doesn't cause the issue but games do.  If there was no SLI profile available, could that be the culprit?  A hard sytem reboot seems like a pretty serious result from simply not having a profile.  Shouldn't the computer simply use just 1 card if SLI is not supported by the driver..?
 
**Edit/Update**

Ok this is incredibly annoying and stupid.  I can run Benchmarks like Heaven, Valley and 3DMark Firestrike and SLI is definitely working, but the instant I try Metro, the computer hard reboots itself.  My 3DMark score went down about 1000 points using those UK drivers also, but it makes no sense that it can properly use SLI, and even run Heaven/Valley @1440p and max settings which should be using pretty darned close to 3gb or more memory, yet ANY game I try to run in SLI causes a hard reboot.  I'm calling EVGA again.. this is ridiculous.
 
**Another Update**
If I run Heaven/Valley in SLI @4k, it will eventually trigger the crash.  I think it has to build up to a certain amount of memory being used to trigger the crash event.  Games are still insta-crash if they utilize SLI and lots of memory.  I was able to play heavily modded HL2 @1440p for like 5 minutes in SLI without a crash, but the moment I try Metro it's insta-crash.

I am replying rather late, as I have been very busy, but wanted to put in my reply to your query. You probably have already exchanged, changed, or figured something out at this point.
 
Fortunately (for me), I can not duplicate the crashing issue. Single screen and surround configurations have been tested. Mutiple hours of gaming with the VRAM shown as dancing between 4000-4500 and not a hint of issue. This is with the 337.50 and, most recently, the 337.88 drivers.
 
 

Hey guys, 
 
I just started the Step-UP program. I'm excited to get my second gtx 780 6GB card (Have one already) - I'm curious as to why people are saying you don't need a 6gb card at 1080p resolution.
 
I have one already (EVGA 780 6GB) and in Watch_Dogs - I am using between 3.5GB and 4.2GB of Vram - Ultra Settings 1080p...
 
So it IS USING more than 3GB... So why do people say it is overkill / no game will ever use more than 3GB...

Because Watch Dogs is in need of a serious patch. The game is not near optimized, surely you have heard this already. Its been all over the internet since the game launched. :)

I have heard that 'patches' are needed, however optimizations are going to change vram usage?

Only reason I ask is because they've said that about other games and even Elder Scrolls Online uses 2.7G vram

I didn't know elder scrolls online uses that much ram? And yeah after patches/optimization what ever you want to call it, the game should use ram more efficiently. So they say... 
 
EDIT: Discussion is all over this forum, just look down the list on this 700/TITAN section.

Yeah sorry - my original post was to just say that there are games out there that are using more and more vram now. So 6GB is usable.
