When EVGA restocks the GTX 780 Classified will it continue to have Elpida memory or will EVGA move to Samsung?

Aye, well that is unfortunate and thank you for the follow up Viper.
 
Edit: Thanks Jacob and Johnson. Just saw your post over on overclock Jake:

 
I take it ASUS is buying up all of the Samsung memory for their DirectCU II 780s. Thanks again for your time you guys. :)

Now that Elpida is owned by Micron I don't foresee any problems

Yes it probably is if you bought it right at launch.

what memory kind of memory does the evga gtx 770 use?

Does anyone here statistics? Just because 1 memory type on a card overclocks better than another memory on another card doesn't mean generally the memory overclocks worse/better. Elpida is just as good and it was all a bunch of fear mongering rumors that it all sucks and can't hold a candle to Samsung chips.

Im currently running +595 on my memory. Thats 7200mhz or 3600mhz or 1800mhz depending on ur u like to read memory frequencies.
 
I have yet to see it cause any issues at this frequency and i havnt even reach my max yet during testing. I just stoped at frequency on a whim :P
I am goign to be replacing my TIM some time this week as i get high temps with just 1.175mv (the max my bios alows), when i do that ill check see what memory i have.
My Classified was one of the 1st batches from Scan.co.uk and to my knowledge scan was the only retailer in the UK that had them available at the time. I got mine on the 8th August, during which time scan went out of stock immediatly and was due a second batch on the 12th. So 'maybe' i have samsung memory ..maybe i dont.. ether way im happy with it. The GPU core itself is runing hot, im hoping its just a bad stock TIM application, if not then i just have a hot runner, but at 1254mhz clock(+79) at just +13mv(1.175v) thats pritty good.

I think people are making too big of a deal about memory in general for these 780 cards.  I have a 780 Hydrocopper with the Elpida memory running at +600 (7200) and really the difference between +600 and 0 is pretty small overall.  I think people are thinking about how important memory bandwidth was for the 680 GTX since it was bandwidth starved.
 
Lets put it this way while I was pushing my card trying to find a stable memory overclock the difference between +0 and +600 was a little less than 200 points in 3DMark11 extreme.

I am not aware of any GPU partner that is exclusive to any one vendor of memory. It is pretty standard to have at least 2 vendors of memory certified.

i kinda of find it sneaky that ONLY the first one of these cards had the Samsung memory (for reviewers) then after that, it goes with the other. 

i kinda want to know what memory i have in my 780 now. i just dont feel like taking off my heatsink.  

You should be able to tell by the revision number, a little sticker on the back of the card.
 
That's how I found out my Classy's were all Elpida. Not that I'm complaining, under water I understand Elpida are just as good as the sammy's and if you aren't putting a classy under water, you're wasting everyone's time :D

I bought a 770 Classy and I won't put a full cover..only GPU block xD hope I won't waste my time lulz

Where can I see if I have the Samsung of Elpida memory? On the hardware or something software like?

Look on the Memory Chip themselves.

Yes.

Funny that MSI got slammed pretty bad in the Lightning 780 Hardware Canucks review vs the EVGA Classified 780, for the use of Elpida memory vs Samsung memory in the EVGA boards. Now EVGA is using it as well.

EVGA only uses it because SAMMY doesn't have enough to provide it at the price EVGA is willing to pay. 

No because Samsung no enough memory because of that I stay with EVGA, but I expect better planing next time and even stop of shipping for 2-3 weeks only for Classified class better than destroying name. 
I mean, I would wait I swear until Samsung show up and EVGA start to ship again. I wouldn't go on MSI Lightening or DirectCUII.
I'm not sure Lightening too no Samsung or they have... I don't know but never mind with Samsung or not in MSI I would wait on EVGA.
MSI sometimes overclock their cards more and cause instability and people later drop clock or increase voltage.
It's obvious EVGA didn't put every GK110 in Classified because no complains on instability with factory OC.
