Can't help but feel this card is going to be all show and no go.
Unless MSI bin the chips on these and allow the card to go to 1.5v+ I can't see the card fulfilling its promise.
Maybe I am a touch cynical darter the last couple of lightning releases. These guys should be sticking it to evga but fail on the details.
You can already stick 1.4v through an asus 290x dcu so what's the point of all that fancy circuitry and extra power connectors if you can't do 1.5?
This card needs to gurantee that you will break 1250-1280 on the core at around 1.3v otherwise you might as well just buy a reference card.
Grease Lightening?
LOL WHEY ;D
I've been running my Rig without a Graphics card for 2 months, waiting on this badboy landing.
Playing games on a HD4000 GPU has been...Interesting shall we say.
I needs a price!!!
I agree. The Lightning 680's were very nice but the 7970 had fail after fail, they released the 780 LTG, which was getting kicked about silly by the Classy.
I like MSI but they seriously need to step up their game for me to consider them a top player again.
thought the NDA was lifted today?? not much info around, i know guru3d's sample is being held at customs, there maybe testing it first!!

Good God Man! get yourself on the Flea Market for a 5770, flog it on again once you have the Lightning, worst case you will loose; what? 5 / £10?
I don't think I could live a week on a HD4000 let alone 2 Months.
haha, I know
I overspent at build time. PS4, HDTV, Motherboard, I5 3570K.
Left myself knowingly short for the other pieces. Currently running the I5 on the Stock settings under the stock HSF too.
Future plans: Corsair Liquid Cooler, Lightning 290x, Xbox ONE, Wii U and 2x Tickets to Vegas.
You know what... I like the sound of the end result. But for now And when I see the bank account hit
