Hi,Just been looking at the 780Tis and saw that the palit jetstream version is £530 on ebuyer and the evga 780ti is £570. Seems strange that the palit one with a fancy cooler is cheaper. Any ideas on which one I should get?

lol, EVGA all the way. Which EVGA card is it btw? the standard? the reference superclocked? or the ACX superclocked?

EVGA have a few benefits over Palit imo.
1 - With EVGA you can remove the heatsink without voiding your warranty! Palit void your warranty the second you remove the heatsink. Why would you want to remove the heatsink you ask? Well, firstly after a few years the thermal paste could probably do with a change. Secondly, you may decide you want to watercool your whole PC, so you can add a waterblock to your card without voiding your warranty.
2 - EVGA give you 3 years warranty when you register the card. Palit, give you only two years. (of course 1st year is via the seller anyway)

Just the normal EVGA one with titan cooler. Thanks for the advice. I think that TheGeeza bought the EVGA one too. Should be interesting to see how it turns out,lol. The superclocked is out of stock on ebuyer which is why I was considering the Palit one.

I would go for the Palit out of those two. If the evga card is the reference card then you're looking at higher performance for lower price. tom has rightly pointed out that Evga generally give you a bit more support, but personally I would go for the higher clocked one.

Of course, you can overclock the card yourself, it's not hard, but the Palit will have better cooling for overclocking.
