Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 OC V2 Review
Category : NVIDIA
Published by Christian Ney on 06.09.13
Gigabyte is currently offering three different GeForce GTX 780, one reference, the WindForce3 2.0 and the OverClock 2.0. Today we are going to have a look at the fastest one, the OverClock 2.0. 2.0 indicates the revision of the card, or improved PCB in this case, as the only difference with the previous revision 1.0 lies within the PCB type. The revision 1.0 was equipped with the reference PCB while this one features a custom design. We're curious to see what the combination of a high factory overclocking and Gigabyte's WindForce 3X 450W cooler can achieve.

Technical Data / Specifications


With the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 OC V2 you get a factory overclocked card which features a custom PCB as well as a custom cooler. The ASIC quality measured on our sample was 77.4 % which is a bit higher than the average.
About ASIC quality:



Gigabyte's GeForce GTX 780 OC V2 is based on NVIDIA's massive Kepler GK110 chip, which is manufactured by TSMC using the latest 28 nanometer process technology. With the GeForce GTX 780 you get twelve SMX units which results in 2'304 CUDA cores. Following the specs further, there are 192 TMUs, 48 ROPs, a 384 bit wide memory interface and 3 GB of GDDR5 memory.
Since Gigabyte didn't bother overclock the memory, the latter stays clocked at 1'502 MHz (effective 6'008 MHz). In the end there is a memory bandwidth of 288 Gbps.
On the GPU you find quite a decent factory overclock with a base clock of 954 MHz and a typical boost clock of 1'006 MHz. During our tests the highest boost clock we measured was 1'097 MHz and the average boost clock was also 1'097 MHz.

The card also supports GPU Boost 2.0. The first version of GPU Boost stopped overclocking the GPU when a certain power target was hit. This new second version of GPU Boost stops overclocking the card, when a certain temperature is being reached. This makes sense since the temperature is the bigger inhibitor than the power target in most cases. In this case the temperature target is 80 degrees Celsius. In other words, as long as the GPU runs at less than 80°C it will keep overclocking until the maximum frequency has been reached. This is why in our case the average boost clock was 91 MHz higher than the typical boost clock the manufacturer advertises.

Gigabyte decided to equip their GeForce GTX 780 OC V2 with their very own cooling solution answering to the name WindForce 3X 450W. This one features two 8mm and four 6mm copper heatpipes. Soldered to the heatpipes you find the fin stack which is being fed with fresh air via three 80mm fans. They carry the model number T128010SU and have been inclined in order to blow the air away better at the top of the card.
Overall the cooler is well manufactured but the copper base that is far from the mirror finish, since it looks industrial. Around the base you find an aluminium part which is used to fix the cooler to the PCB and also to cool the memory thanks to thermal pads.
The rear fin stack has been equipped with an aluminium plate to cool the MOSFETs of the GPU power design. A thermal pad has also been used in this case.

 


A closer look at the PCB shows that Gigabyte equipped its card with a 8+2 phase power design. The GPU gets its current from eight phases and the two phases left take good care of the memory.

Checking the voltage regulation chip we find a digital 8-phase synchronous buck converter NCP4208 from ON (ON Semiconductor) that support I2C. Furthermore there is an unidentified Richtek 2-phase analog PWM labelled 0T=FA V2A taking care of a stable current supply for the the memory.
On the PCB we find another chip labelled INA 3221. The INA3221 from Texas Instruments is a three-channel, high-side current sensor and bus voltage monitor with an I2C interface.

 


The memory chips used are made by Samsung and carry the model number K4G20325FD-FC03. They are specified to run at 1'500 MHz (6'000 MHz effective).

The card ships well bolstered in a foam made mold. Bundled with the graphics card there is a driver CD and two power converters (2x Molex to PCIe-6pin and 2xMolex to PCIe-8pin). The bundle is not pictured because our sample wasn't shipped with the bundle.

Conclusion


General + -
The GeForce GTX 780 OC V2 from Gigabyte is a really nice piece of hardware. The graphics card did well everywhere from performance to power consumption and even noise level is great.
The build quality is on an overall very high level. There is only the copper base of the cooler, that could have been mirror lapped for example. As usual, we would like to see the memory being overclocked on such a high end card.
When it comes to the bundle, there is virtually nothing in the box next to the card. Gamers would love to get at least a free game when spending a lot on a graphics card.

- No Factory Overclocking on the memory

Cooling / Noise Level   + -
The WindForce 3X 450W cooler system from Gigabyte suits the GeForce GTX 780 very well. GPU Temperatures were good under load and very good in idle. The GPU did hit 85°C under heavy FurMark load with the fans locked at 30 % fan speed (noiseless). Now with the fan in auto, after playing BattleField 3 for an hour the maximum temperature hit by the GPU was 70°C. In this case the maximum fan speed was 54%, translated it means a noise level of about 38 dBA. In other words, the card isn't very silent, you hear it but it's silent. Cooling such a GPU, even not overclocked, isn't a walk in the park. Yet Gigabyte did better than nVidia and ASUS for exemple.   - inaudible in 2D
- Silent in 3D
 
       
Performance   + -
The Gigabyte OC V2 is by far not the fastest GTX 780 on the planet but it gives you enough performance over the reference card. Thanks to the good cooler, the GPU was always running at a whooping 1'097 MHz under load. In this case the OC V2 is 13 % faster than the reference card and 3 % faster than the ASUS DC2 OC on average in the tested games. The Gigabyte card also outperforms a GTX Titan by 7 %.
A closer look at power consumption shows, that our test system, equipped with the OC V2, burns 49 Watts under idle conditions and 281 Watts under load. In both cases that's very good.
This Gigabyte variant benefits from a good performance/watt ratio but a bad performance/price ratio like other GTX 780s.
  - Performance/Watt
- Power consumption
- Performance/Price
       
Recommendation / Price   + -
Looking up the prices on Geizhals we see that the cheapest offers for a GTX 780 starts at 540 Euros accorss the EU shipping excluded. The Gigabyte version tested here is being sold for about 590 Euros. Everything considered we think that's a fair price for what you get.   - Gaming  
 
We gave the GeForce GTX 780 OC V2 from Gigabyte 4.5 out of 5 stars.
