MSI GTX780 Lightning due 07/08/13

Yeah, i can imagine a few people were holding back buying a GTX780 until today to see the lightning and now will go and purchase EVGA.

That's exactly why they do it, I think we all have a gut full of NDA's so stunts like this just shoot them in the foot...my opinion anyway !
 
Quite a few I'd imagine, especially as they appear to be well priced for what they are. The only stumbling block is European availability.

Very tempted to just grab a used 580 to tide me over until October.
 
I wonder how many will now choose the Classified option

Think more people may just wait for AMD!
Imo MSI are definitely gonna lose sales over this, unless they redeem themselves by lifting the nda, we need to see reviews/benches, not pictures of the thing, who care's?? Most will slap a block on it.
 
^yep, the least msi could do after this stunt is provide us with some genuine info. In 3 weeks time I think most will have already purchased something else or thought it would be wiser to wait a further 6 weeks for 9970's.
 
Disgusting

We know the cards exist

So what is the problem lifting the NDA

Perhaps they are having a little problem with the NVidia drivers blowing up the cards.:eek:

Agreed


May be time to try the dark side again :D
 
Evga now have the classified listed in their European store....you ready for this??.....

€707.

Do evga think we're high, stupid or both? Listed for $699 in the states, granted that doesn't include state tax, but really evga? Disgusting mark up for Europeans.

Ordering from the states would bag you one for under £600 after shipping, taxes and handling. Thank god I'm going to Texas on holiday next year.
