Both products and deals are exclusive to OcUK and are only whilst they remain on pre-order status, stock is due on both items mid-end next week. A cracking Christmas deal!! :)
 
God damn you Gibbo!

Ordered one of the Lightnings, can't say no at that price.

When you get it, fancy posting a review and please focus on the overclocking as these are LE edition with reduced 1030MHz core, so be interested to see how they clock.

The last time MSI did an LE of a Lightning with lower core clock they were actually clocking better than the full blown edition, so be good to hear your findings. :)

The thing is by now these companies now how to tweak the components they use to get the best out of these cards and being a Lightning edition even if it is a LE variant I'm sure these will clock very well.
A very nice card at a fantastic pre order price, if your in the market for a new card and don't mind waiting a while then my advice would be to snap one up.:)
 
Good stuff.

Might order a couple to warm up my room and have a tinker.

Best 290X on the market, the only card which rivals the Lightning is the Vapor-X and you could argue the PCS+ is a good card, but at this price this card is hands down winner!

Bear in mind, this is a spot buy, MSI just sold me their inventory to get clear, we've pre-sold 20 already so we might be taking them off-sale soon as we only got 164pc coming in.
