So I got my EVGA 780 GTX Ti SC and did some comparisons with my MSI 780 GTX Lightning running at 1306 / 6.5 Ghz. At the default boost clock of 1046 Mhz the card ties out with the heavily overclocked lightning.
But things get interesting when you start changing the core and memory offsets. So far I have been able to get 1215 Mhz on the core and 7.5 Ghz on memory all at default voltages without tinkering with anything. I did set the power target of 106% but the card barely touched 103 during burn in sessions. Temperature remained at 85C throughout the operation.
I believe once non-reference PCBs with better VRMs hit the market, the Ti is going to go even further up. Having said that, I am pretty happy with the overclocks and the card draws less power than my lightning (since I had to crank up the voltage to 1.165V).
With the current overclocks the card is 12% faster than my overclocked lightning. The lightning already was more than 15% faster than a stock 780 GTX. So you can do the math. Ofcouse GPU lottery plays a big role but GK110B is highly binned and chances of getting a decent core are high.
