Review: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Lightning
We review the long anticipated and awaited MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Lightning edition. You'll retrieve up-to 1.3 Volts to play with on the GPU voltage range. This 6 GB card is overclocked for you at default already, typically a reference GTX 980 Ti will run 1 GHz. The Lightning however comes with default clocks of 1203 (base) / 1304 (boost) MHz. Armed with 6 GB graphics memory this product was built to impress.

Is this one of those special reviewer's sample cards that come with 122% power limit - but actual retail cards are only like 109% power limit?
MSI pulled that crap on the 980Ti cards. Review samples had very high power limits, but retail cards did not.
They meant the same thing. 122% = 109%, the difference was that one BIOS has lower starting limit. 109% Max version had higher default limit. You can't compare percentages without knowing what it actually means. In this case 100 % did not mean the same thing.

Very few 980 ti go higher than low 1500`s on air, only the best of the best, impressive memory clock though.

HBM can't go over 4GB? I wasn't aware of that. I think I need to do some reading.

hbm1 cannot, its limited to 4gb, kinda kooky amd high end is 4gb and there mid high end 8gb. nvidia is going straight to hbm2 which will allow 8gb and more I guess.

Not need this card even in 1440p ? don't forget they start releasing 144hz screens in 1440p!

I just read up on the hmb1 and hbm2, I wish there was a utility that could benchmark vram. i'm curious to see the difference between gddr5 and hbm.

Review: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Lightning
With that memory overclock, what memory bandwidth does that leave you with?
Edit: 417GB/s correct?

it's for that AMD high end is 4gig and medium is 8gig... lol
and it's for that NVidia will start with HBM2 without HBM1 tryout.

In theory a lot (4096 b Vs lot less), but right now not so much, but i suspect it is due to GPU (well... you know... 1st try... lol).
Despite that, HBM technology is a nice step forward and we will see a lot of nice thing to come in the future.

Exactly... Cooling solution might be great, the price still burns a hole in what's left of my wallet...

You can do it yourself, mod your power limit and make it what you want, I`m at 120%
