MSI to unveil 10th Anniversary RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Edition

At Computex 2019 starting in a week or two, MSI will release a 10th Anniversary Lighting edition of their graphics cards. Ten years of releasing graphics card made for the more enthusiast crowd as well as overclockers., Beefed up VRM designs, supporting overclocking software that could push the card a bit more (even despite NVIDIA did not always like that), yeah it has been a wild ride.

Hehe, it was nice and productive 10 years. I still have engineering samples of most of those cards here, in my collection.

I had a HD7970 and R9 290X Lightning back in the day, both fantastic cards with a huge OC margin.

Thats the thing. They work and look great but price is only controversial thing about these cards (overpriced).

MSI is a great company. I've used their mainboards in my last two builds and current video card. I've used EVGA specifically for years when it comes to video cards, but I was not a fan of their triple slot, single fan 1660 Ti design. If I remember correctly my first MSI product was a Geforce 4 Ti4400.

Yes, the lightning cards have always had the price premium, however, I also want people to see and note how much more nVidia has been charging them for the latest generations over the years. If things keep going as they are, by the time I am 60 I will pay $20 000 for a new GPU.

The MSI Lightning line will always have a special place in my hardware nerd heart. I always drooled at them with each generation, then I finally got to buy not one, but two GTX 680 Lightnings in SLI back in 2012. It was one of those moments where I bragged shamelessly for about a year every time I had the occasion, haha. Congratulations MSI, for many years now, my favorite GPU AIB brand!
Fun fact, I still have one of them to this day, as a "back-up" GPU. Who am I kidding though, it's mostly because I can't part with this beautiful peace of over-engineering hardware for peanuts, and it's actually in a pretty pristine condition too! Who knows, maybe 10 years from now it will be worth something to collectors.

I own the 1080ti MSI lightening, has to be the best card i have bought (beyond the performance which is ofc going to be higher than older cards) the lighting and looks are great, the fans even when on high barely make a sound and the cooling on this card is amazing, it's very rare i see this card go above 50 degrees even on a hot day.
Price may be higher, but they least seem to use far more premium parts compared to other vendors that i have used

2080 ti lightning is total joke and I bet this new card is no different.
Shame on MSI...
