MSI GTX780 Lightning due 07/08/13

Well I think I'll take advantage of the today deal then. Same price as what I would have paid for the 7990 and it's been reviewed as really really quiet which is very important to me :)
 
Probably this thing does look to have its fair share of lights.

$749.99 retail, which is £483 + tax, so at the very very best £570, or at worst £600, or we'll get completely screwed as usual and see £749.98.

"To hell with it.

My card does 1306mhz core, 1650mhz mem.

That is with:

+100 core
+100 mem
+20 AUX

LN2 BIOS and AB beta 14

109% max power limit
+100 core = 1.27ish volts. Just like the 680 AB voltage DOES NOT read correctly.

Will be trying rbby258 tool later when I get home.

One thing i noticed with my 7970 ltg and 7970 matrix plat is that the lightning always scored higher with identical clocks, who knows why???

+1
Matrix Platinums always scored lower for some reason. Kaap experienced this also.

+1

The Matrix Platinums clock for clock seem to score lower than all other HD 7970s.

The lightnings seem to match other HD 7970s clock for clock and then there is the high clocks they can run too.

I think Asus made a bit of a mess with the Matrix Platinums and then there is GPU Tweak. ARGHHHHHHHHHH

Appears to me theres not much difference between this and the classy, and yellow is not gonna work in my build this time so think my mind is made up, not gonna drown 'em "scotty" just incase AMD pulls off a miracle and i need to sell them, but i doubt it.
 
Nice looking cards that is for sure, not really going to risk sticking £2000 into 3 of these (inc. blocks) with the 9970 around the corner.
