MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z PCB Photos, gets overclocked to 2450 MHz

We all know for a while now that MSI is working on a Lightning Z graphics card based on the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, we expect an announcement soon enough. Some photos just surfaced, alongside some screenshots that will certainly amaze you.

A preliminary card found their way towards overclockers "Gunslinger" and "Littleboy." and they posted photos of the PCBs. Not the actual card with cooler though. You can spot three 8-pin PCIe power connectors and a quick count shows 19-phase power for the GPU and memory

"Gunslinger" and "Littleboy" have been able to tweak and overclock this card to clock-speeds up-to a whopping 2450 MHz, obviously using sub-zero cooling, likely liquid nitrogen. BTW have a peek at the screenshot that shows the Micron memory frequency, that's interesting eh? The two entries with clocks higher than 2450 MHz can be found, but are not on this particular screenshot though.

If it's anything like Pascal where you could overclock quite high but the performance decreased noticeably.

It'd be interesting to see performance over stock.

Funny thing is that this card could have been an "insanely expensive card that smashes price records" but since the 2080Ti series regardless of model already is that...what's left to name the Lightning card?

GPUz needs an update probably to support the card.

sincle article mentions that "Gunslinger" and "Littleboy" overclocked it, then posted subsequent screenshots + images ... one would imagine that they used LN2 (as article hints at).

rubber is often used in LN2 setups ... as you don't get moisture buildup ... hence the rubber is probably a "custom add-on" rather than a standard spec "out of the box" design.

I get it, that its rubber coating, and why. Just curious, if someone knows, where to get it, or is it just rubber, that they have smelted by themself.

google "liquid rubber" + "liquid rubber paint" ... while I haven't used it in terms of IT/motherboards - have previously used similar at work for "small/intricate rubber work" + custom design (artwork).

Liquid rubber would be much better than plastidip.
Also comes off much easier...
