MSI GTX780 Lightning due 07/08/13

The place should be good for it, they allow checkout via the rainforest, though I will hold on to my hard earned cash until msi try to sway me :D

Though $700 = £550 isn't that hard to believe.

Come bench mine with me Sunday mate. I will bin the cards Saturday then we use the best to kill some WR's Sunday.

You will see my benches soon enough!!!!

Would love to mate, if only it wasn't the 400 odd mile round trip I'd have to make :p

Next time I'm back in Yorkshire visiting my folks I'll be sure to drop by though :)
 
3 fan this time, looks like a pair of 100mm fans with a central 92mm fan :)

It's incredibly tempting pack, but spending £200 on train tickets is going to a) disrupt my lightning fund and b) get me castrated by the Mrs :p

You should set up a live stream some time...
 
I don't know the ins and outs of it, just remember Neliz saying in the ocn thread that chips are binned for cold performance, it may well be to do with lower asic, iirc my 7970 lightning was 71% & clocked very very well (1350mhz @ 1.36v) under water.

8Pack may be able to shed more light on it!

Anyhow today is the day I constantly refresh :D
 
Yeah if it's too heavily priced I may forget about 780's altogether, so we'll see :)

My guesses for today are a 1.1ghz stock boost, card to be 13" long, three fan cooler with a 17+2 phase vrm layout holding a price tag of £624.99 ;)
 
Wat??? :mad:

I can understand delays, but why leave it until half way through today?

So now the real question is classified or wait for 9970's? Potential loss of sale for msi now from me.

Poor show.
 
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.
 
^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.
 
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.

Believe it when I see it. Msi, I am reluctantly giving you till' Friday to redeem your selves. If you want my money impress me, not troll me. I can really do without playing guessing games on such a big purchase.
