MSI GTX780 Lightning due 07/08/13
- Thread starter pgi947
- Start date
Kingpin hit 1410mhz on air with a Classified, though no doubt it was cherry picked, most of the lucky yanks that have them are sitting around 1300-1400mhz.
It is however aimed at the same crowd as the Lightning, subzero and water coolers.

We know, which is why we're all waiting so much on the Lightning (as we know it will have back door unlocked voltage) and Classified (as it has evbot). Voltage locked i.e. reference GK110 doesn't interest me in the slightest, voltage unlocked GK110 on the other hand...
Not only did Nvidia try kill overclocking, they nearly killed off watercooling their GPU's, as without moar volts it becomes pointless.

Yeah all these cuts have killed the second hand market for sure, glad I managed to shift my 7970's for a good price a few weeks back.
Thanks for the offer tonester, would you mind if I just hung on to the 470 for another week or so? Give me time to get a better idea of what's happening.

Especially at clocks that should be achievable, rough guesses suggest 1350-1400mhz would see off any unmodded overclocked titan, that's before we add water and big volts into the mixer too.
If I wanted a card for gaming right now I'd grab a 690, but I really want something I can bench and be competitive in doing so.
Any news on someone in msi's marketing dept being sacked yet?

I'm not saying I'd recommend it, but surely a good loop ran from cold would just handle 1.5v for a few mins of benching?
I didn't think gk110 ran all that hot?
In usual circumstances they go back to nvidia, fairly sure the resulting aftermath of last year's green light was if you want custom voltage, you loose warranty with nvidia on those chips. Which is probably what's happening with classy/lightning cards, if they die it comes straight out of the board partners pocket not nvidias.
You mean like the 780 Classified is faster.
This appears to be the duty rumor on ocn
Can you over volt a dcuii? I did hear it had vga hotwire support, but this requires an rog extreme board and soldering...
This
The only issue comes with the voltage spec, it will still be Nvidias stock +38mv, I'll have another look around but I'm sure one video review suggested it was VGA Hotwire capable.
I think the only time we'll see true over voltage on an Asus 780 will be if they decide on a Mars/Matrix type card.
Edit: See the 'A closer look' part of that review you linked to:
Perhaps 8 Pack could shed some more light on this?

Ah, I was hopeful it would just be a case of putting the hotwire leads on and that would be job done, don't fancy insta-voiding the warranty and in all likelihood destroying the card trying to remove a resistor.
New plan of action for me: Pay up for motherboard etc... now, get paid the 25th, have a few days to wait and see? 9970 info is just starting to leak now too.

Me? R4F + 4930K + (probably) 2666mhz tridentX. I won't be touching anything I have to do extensive work like that on. Just the VGA wires I could have probably lived with, removing resistors is waaaay out of my depth and comfort zone, on a £550 card anyhow.
Not a big fan of GPU Tweak anyhow, they mucked it up on both the DCU2 & Matrix Plats last time around.
Big bang is having to make way so I can move to a smaller case (Enthoo). Though as spanner in the works go, my detective skills tell me the 'something big' is around a caselabs case...I'll be sad to see the board go (when I finally sell it, who knows may keep it for a benching rig?
).
No PSC yet, I am trying to get hold of a good kit, keep missing out on the 6-7-6 1600mhz & 7-8-7 2000mhz PSC kits
Believe my RipjawsZ are Hynix, really strong dimms so far only limited by my IMC and my clocking skills, sitting pretty at 2410mhz 10-12-12-88-1T seconds tuned and thirds auto.
I really struggled to hit 1T on those ripjaws, moving dram voltage from 1.7 to 1.725v sorted that out though
