Review: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Lightning

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/28/2015 04:59 PM | source: | 34 comment(s)

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.

Conclusion

The Lightning rdition
:D



Is MSI PCB design that cool that there is no need for extra heatsinks for VRM, mem chips?
All convection, no conduction save for GPU die....hmm not so sure this is the actual heatsink shot:

No if you peek at the exploding shot you'll notice another metal plate covering the VRM etc.

Damn all these custom cooler oc 980 ti are untouched in performance. Boost clock is about where it should be I guess, memory oc is freaking sick though.
