Reference or eVGA?

[Private_Ops]

Lookin at a GTX 770.

I like the looks of the reference 770s (seems eBay is the only place to get them) but, looking at the eVGA overclocked cards with the ACX cooler... Seems those would be a better investment cooling wise.

Whats everyones opinion?

TigerDirect has the EVGA GTX 770 with a TITAN-style cooler in stock and for sale.

TigerDirect and Amazon, are also selling the EVGA GTX 770 with the original stock cooler. It looks like the EVGA store also has this one in stock.

But I would go with an ASUS DCUII if you're not concerned about warranty. The DCUII cooler is better than the ACX. There is really no reason to need to go with the stock coolers unless you plan on going SLI in the future, or you just prefer the aesthetic. The better non-reference coolers will generally allow for higher sustained Boost clock speeds due to lower core temperatures.
