We benchmark, test and review the MSI GeForce GTX 780 LIGHTNING edition. The MSI team has been hard at work with this product, completely revamping the design, the PCB, the cooler, adding new components and yeah, to make this the a very overclockable graphics card MSI put in some extra lovin into AfterBurner as well. Wanna see how cool and incredible the card really is ? Well, then join us in this review.

As i posted in another thread, this cooler has a design flaw.

The Heatpipers of the Heatsink block the ability to blow air against the PCB.

I bet if it was more open it could drop the GPU Temp by a fair bit aswell.

I'd love to exchange my 780 TwinFrozr Gaming OC for this card :)

Think i am a go on one,my dcII is capped out at 1.4v.
I did think that the lightning would have a 120% powerlimit stock but only 109
that has to be dealt with pronto.

do you guys think this is worth upgrading to or should I stick with my 570 SLi? BTW running at 2560x1440 @96Hz. I was also thinking of waiting for new amd cards

Looks good, though I like the design on my 680s lightnings more. That beeing said I am looking forward for the "maxwell lightning", whenever that comes out. The performance boost is just not high enough for me to upgrade just yet.
