I'm really starting to wonder if non-reference anything is worth it, I have a GTX 780 ti classified kingpin, and it can't stay stable even at it's factory set OC (I'm RMAing it finally) maybe it's just bad luck, but I'm not seeing any real reason to spend extra, a lot of extra, or a TON or extra for a design that looks different but uh, doesn't do much.
Amen to this. I was going to pick up two Classifieds. But ... after seeing the VERY LITTLE difference in specs and the VERY BIG difference in price between the ACX/Reference cards and the Classified cards, I don't think I will. I might be willing to pay the extra $130-$150 for a card that is substantially superior (e.g., includes a backplate, has increased clocked speeds beyond that of 26MHz).
Maybe I'll just sit around and wait to see how all this shakes out and not buy anything. I've already gone to ASUS for motherboards. Maybe it's time to go to them for graphics cards, too.
