I'm looking right now and trying to decide between the 780 Lightning and the 780 Classified. Is there anything for the Classy that merits the extra price or are the Lightning's still top dog?
 
Lightning is the way to go, or the HOF from galaxy. Plenty of info right here in this forum on both cards.
 
HOF looks like a 2 and a quarter slotter. Not really a problem, and I like the way it looks.

Between the HOF and the Lightning, what would you choose?
 
The hof takes three slots, but is damn sexy :)

The HOF is 2 and 1/2 slot, which is perfect since I have 3 slots of space for each video card.

I know, the rice on the HOF is giving me a tingly feeling, and I don't typically like rice.
 
Be careful with the HOF. People with custom bios' have been blowing their VRM's. The Lightning is better but significantly uglier.
 
What about the 780 classified? I was looking to get the TI but after seeing those reviews i just don't think it's worth it. Going to get either a lighting or classified. Anyone have any experiance with both?

Two Msi lighting is $1059
Two Evga classifieds are $1159 :/

The classified is what I would get except that it's more expensive with the same or slightly less OC headroom. It does look the tits and only take 2 slots, though.

Go for it and be happy with $100 of class and style rather than boy-gamer looks.

I love the rice, but with that being the case I think I'll go Lightning.
