Sorry to hear that, I don't know if you are aware of my work history, but due to my time with MSI I've had more experience of Lightning cards than most and in general the GPU overclocking has always been excellent. The cooling potential and power delivery pretty much guaranteed that you could max out the GPU. Unfortunately the same could not be said for the memory, which is affected much less by voltage than quality.
That is, until the latest generation. MSI have realised the error of their ways and now uses better quality memory on the Lightning too.
I think I'm right in saying that 8Pack's holds a lot of Lightning based records at the moment.
Hi Scottie... No I didn't know of your background, what would you expect a pair to run at on the core either stock V or the alloted +100mV in AB? Surely more than 1200-literally will not run at 1201MHz...
The memory I can deal with, MSI fluffed it there but the core?! Kind of goes against all of the marketing blurb 'military grade components + designed for maximum OC' etc etc
Sorry to sound pejorative... That's not the case as these cards will sit at stock anyway for 99% of the time for gaming @1440 and perform faultlessly
But seeing as temps are great (both under water) it'd be nice to see just how far they could be pushed in fire strike etc
Also, if you'd rather take this to another thread just say so
