by techPowerUp!While the technical aspects of the cooler are certainly nice, it cannot compete with NVIDIA's reference design cooler visually, which is without a doubt the best-looking one in the industry.
by techPowerUp!The EVGA ACX cooler does look nice, but I still don't think it can compete with the NVIDIA reference design cooler and its large shiny metal surfaces.

What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Performance
by techPowerUp!It's easy to stay below 80°C with a fan that sounds like a leaf blower, but EVGA picked decent fan settings that are just as quiet as the reference cooler without falling into the 80°C performance hole.
by techPowerUp!When looking at performance, we see the GTX 780 not too far behind the GTX Titan; the difference is 7% when averaged out over our benchmarks.
by techPowerUp!While I can't blame Gigabyte, the price is definitely too high when looking at the delivered performance.
Applications
by techPowerUp!It's with the triple-monitor 5760x1080 (3D Vision Surround), where the GTX 780 SLI really shines, as the second card provides a performance cushion that doesn't allow frame-rates to drop below playable levels on some of the more visually intense titles, such as Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, etc..
by techPowerUp!Having been released on next-gen consoles first, the game will use loads of video memory with Ultra Textures enabled, along with DirectX 11, tessellation and advanced shader and lighting effects.
by techPowerUp!The card is also almost inaudible in idle, which is great if you work a lot and game rarely.
Gaming
by techPowerUp!If you have that much money to spend, the GTX 780 is definitely a great choice, and you should definitely consider the MSI GTX 780 GAMING.
by techPowerUp!When gaming, fan speed will increase to keep the card cool, but the card is still really quiet.
by techPowerUp!EVGA also includes an additional game, "Rise of the Triad," bringing the game bundle up to four titles.
Framerate
by techPowerUp!The setup makes sure your frame rates stay high at 2560x1600 comfortably, even letting you crank up anti-aliasing.
by techPowerUp!We tested the game with details at ultra details and removed the 60 FPS limit.
by techPowerUp!In terms of performance delivered, I would classify the MSI GTX 780 Gaming as the ideal card for gameplay at 1440p resolution, where it can run all games at maximum details and with good framerates.
Multi card
by techPowerUp!Two SLI connectors are available, which would allow you to combine up to four GTX 780 cards in a Triple-SLI, multi-GPU configuration.
by techPowerUp!Two SLI connectors are available, which would allow you to combine up to four GTX 780 cards in a Quad-SLI multi-GPU configuration.
by techPowerUp!Two SLI connectors are available, which allows you to combine up to three GTX 780 cards in a Triple-SLI, multi-GPU configuration.
