MSI GeForce GTX 780 LIGHTNING review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

Alright pretty pictures time. Here shall follow a couple of pages with photo's from our photo-shoot. 

First of the packaging as always. A nice and shiny yellow themed packaging will await you in the stores, it will be hard to miss that of course. 

And there is, the GeForce GTX 780 from MSI and yes, it is a rather cool looking dude. The card is using an updated cooler slash TwinFrozr design, which now has triple fans for pretty good heat dissipation. Alonside the card you will receive a flexible SLI connector, quick manual 8-pin power converter cable and voltage cables so you can easily use a digital multi-meter with the card to check out some of its voltages.


Above and below is the card, the MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning edition with that new TriFrozr cooler, it features a total of three fans. The fans can actually programmed independant from each other. For the heatsink itself MSI is using a large dual fin-stack heatsink connected to seven 8 mm-thick heat pipes. The card is a 3GB model. That's definitely sufficient if you are a hardcore gamer with very high monitor resolutions. The card is 11 Inches in length which is 29 cm.

 


With the GeForce GTX 780 Lightning you will receive four display connectors, you'll spot a full size Display port connector, one full size HDMI connector and two DVI connectors (dual-link). You can combine these connectors to setup a surround view (multi-monitor) setup. One card will give you more than sufficient performance to play your games on three monitors. To date, we still receive this question a lot, but dual-link DVI does not mean you can hook up two monitors to one connector. Dual-link means double the signal, that way monitor resolutions over 1920x1200 can be supported or you could use a 120Hz monitor. So explained very simple, dual-link DVI supports high-resolution (above 1920x1200) or high-refresh rate (120Hz) monitors. MSI applied gold plating for the connectors to ensure the very best quality.

MSI offers this Gaming edition 3GB edition factory clocked for you and we noticed the Boost clock passing 1100 MHz. And as our article will show later on, there's room for tweaking as we got this puppy running stable over 1300 MHz on the boost frequency, which is rather nice.
