MSI GTX780 Lightning due 07/08/13

[oldestgregg]

Well, while we wait for the 7th, EVGA have announced the final specs of the classified, confirming it DOES come with an EVBOT port (post by evga_jacob on the EVGA forums)

http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/03G-P4-3788.pdf

1046mhz boost at stock. $700 price tag. 14+3 phase vrm.

Are MSI going to do better on all the above?

1150mhz boost stock, £600 & a 20+4 phase vrm would be nice

When are these due? EVGA classified I mean.

In the states, any time now and in very limited quantities, in Europe? Pass, Europe tends to be an after thought for EVGA when it comes to the very top end gear

Yep. when it comes to high end products we aren't looked after

Yet they want our money

And more of it than they ask of other countries. Quite offensive if you think about it

 

[scotsdragon]

Yes it is rather insulting when america get before us and other countries get better deals.

Spot on mate. In what other line of work could you say to customers,.here have this product as an after thought,late,and if you must have it we want more money for it.....take it or leave it suckers!

Ek just posted this on face book, its for a 780 but does not say which, cant be for the lightning, can it?? Only got 8 and 6 pin?? But the design looks very similar to the 7970 ltg block albiet plexi

 

[Nickolp1974]

^^^ forget that, its for the asus should have checked better, quite hard on the pad!

 

[pgi947]

Yeah it'll be for the dcuii.

Hopefully another block for another volt locked card hasn't taken priority over the lightning

More than likely, seamed to take forever last time you would think launch date of that particular card and block should go hand in hand. Cant wait too see your lots results.

 

[8 Pack]

I would imagine your lightning came either as a naked pcb or with a pot already slapped on it! We have to wait until the 7th for your results or are we going to get them before?

Before!!!

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

Before!!!

Oh you big tease Looking forward to seeing this.

 

[pgi947]

Me too

Do we have a time on Wednesday for the launch?

 

[oldestgregg]

Any idea how many of these will be in stock? I'm on nights so I dont want to have to stay up all day refreshing when I may not get one.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Standard silicon lottery or cherry picked?

 

[oldestgregg]

Will it be very limited or enough to go round,8 pack? Also any idea what time they going up on the site?

 

[8 Pack]

I am not sure about numbers nor the date available on the site mate. This is not my territory but if I did know I probably would not be able to say.

Any hints on pricing, OcUK? Please can it be not more than £650...

 

[pgi947]

Stocks are usually pretty good on lightnings, especially as ocuk take as much as they can from msi.

Chips are binned for the cold.

Pricing, I wouldn't expect more then £650, lightnings usually sit ~£70-100 above reference

 

[oldestgregg]

If they over £650 then they are defo over my budget I know OCUK are usually a bit pricey compare to most places but i just couldnt justify that. I have seen the twin frozr's for £550 elsewhere so I will just go down that route if needs be.
