The 780 Classified is definitely worth it. Its the best 780 available, especially if you want to overclock.
Psh. You have a reference card. It clocks just fine, doesn't it?

780 Classified if you want to BENCHMARK, not overclock. There's a big difference. Classified is designed as a PCB that will not limit OC, and nothing else. The same is true for any card...it's about PCB designs and different cooling, and that is all. NVidia's lock-down on voltage control ensures that. All these companies would love to do differently, IMHO... they simply aren't allowed to.

Well my 2x Evga 670 GTX FTW Sli kills 780ti's!! Eats them up in benches(by about 900 pts in Firestrike/3Dmark11) and by about 15-20fps in games in ultra(1319mhz cores/3707mhz memory/145% power target)
780ti's are crap for overclocking. Boost 2.0 is also terrible vs. Boost 1.0. I don't want my overclock being decided by the cards temperature.......

A pair of 670's shits on a GTX 780Ti. Wait a sec, what have we learned here?

Most of the time both of my 6870s are better than just one by itself. I suspect in most cases it will work like that unless there are some serious CFX/SLI issues with any particular title.

Not always.
Well in this threads case, yes 2x 670 Gtx Sli is always going to be faster and more productive than a single 780ti. This has proven by benchmarks over and over...

Uh, no, not mad. Why would I be mad? Just wondering why you thought it was necessary to revive a 6 month old thread when the OP of said thread has not been on TPU since April. What did you think you would accomplish by reviving this thread?

Maybe.... it's not the OP, it's the thread title that attracts people... Some X-Files are never fully closed!
Not judging the usefulness of particular posts here... ;)
