The MSI GTX780 Ti Gaming OC is clearly one of the fastest graphics cards on the planet of that their can be no doubt. It regularly outpaced the competition, often bettering the dual core GTX690 while firmly putting the AMD R9 290X in its place. It also has some awesome looks to match that blistering pace. Considering the heavy factory overclock, it also has a little left in reserve to play with to satisfy those who like to manually overclock the card. It runs moderately cool and very quiet and benefits from solid, packaging. It could be accused of being perfect in every way and indeed it does come very close but we would also argue that despite the praise that is so rightly heaped on this graphics card, as an overall package their are still some improvements to be made.

First, it is priced competitively but it is still some serious money, even for a top drawer graphics card. Of course this accusation could be aimed at many other manufacturers so with this in mind, we can forgive MSI. The packaging while very good is still missing that little extra. Some manufacturers go that extra mile and provide a mouse mat, others a free game, case badge or even a screwdriver set (yes it has been known). While we don't expect to go to such extremes, we would have liked something extra to make forking out half a grand a little less painful. A backplate wouldn't go amiss either, anything to soften the blow.


Instead what we get is an extremely fast graphics card with a good custom cooler and let's face it, that is what we want above all else. So, while the MSI GTX 780 Ti Twin Frozr OC offers blistering pace and a custom cooler (that looks similar to other cards in the range), it offers little else to differentiate itself as an overall package from other equally fast cards on the market. Your decision to buy this particular card will most likely be based upon whether you like MSI or not. Us, we can't recommend the card more for nothing other than it's chart topping performance but just don't expect the kitchen sink to fall in your lap when you open the box.

To summarise:
Stupidly fast that will handle anything you throw at it. If speed is what your heart desires then you should arrange a date with the MSI GTX 780 Ti Twin Frozr Gaming OC.
