MSI GTX 780-3G Founders Edition

This MSI GTX 780-3G Founders Edition graphics card uses an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 chipset with 3GB of DDR5 memory on a 384-bit interface. It connects via PCI Express 3.0 16X and requires a 6-pin plus 8-pin power connector. The core clock runs at 6008MHz and supports a maximum resolution of 2560×1600. It is a used unit rated 80 to 90 percent new, sold without original packaging or accessories.

Buyers wanting a modern GPU for current games

This card suits builders maintaining a legacy system that specifically needs a GTX 780 class GPU with 3GB VRAM and DDR5 memory. It is not for buyers who need more video memory than 3GB, who require a newer architecture for modern titles, or who want a factory-sealed product with full retail accessories. The used condition means cosmetic wear is present despite a 100 percent functional inspection before shipment.

3GB DDR5 memory on 384-bit bus

The 3GB DDR5 frame buffer connected through a 384-bit bus is the specification that decides compatibility. This capacity and bus width define the card's ability to handle textures at 2560×1600 resolution. If your workload demands a larger frame buffer or a different memory generation, this is not the correct part. The 6008MHz memory clock and dual power connectors complete the essential profile.

Questions about this item

What power-supply connectors must I already have to run the GTX 780-3G Founders Edition?

The card requires both a 6-pin and an 8-pin PCIe power connector from your power supply.

Will the GTX 780-3G Founders Edition work in a motherboard that only has PCI Express 2.0 slots?

Yes, the PCI Express 3.0 16X interface is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 slots, though bandwidth will be limited to 2.0 speeds.

How can I verify the GTX 780-3G Founders Edition is running at its 6008MHz memory clock after installation?

Open GPU-Z or a similar monitoring tool and confirm the reported memory clock reads 6008MHz under load.
