Oh man, I gotta clean my monitor now

Ease up on the porn and your monitor would not be so dirty.
 
Too expensive when the Galaxy Hall of Fame card is available for $690.

If you own one of these, be sure to use the special version of Afterburner and also update your LN2 BIOS with the new version that allows a 300% power limit.

Are they even trying on the OC?
Obviously MSI doesn't think they need to compete price-wise with others either.

Was waiting on this card to be announced back on Aug 7th but it never happened so I got the EVGA 780 classified instead and couldn't be happier. It doubled the fps in all my games at 2560 x 1600 coming from a 580. You have to pay to play.

There are some of us that game alot higher than 1080p. 1080p is not even in our vocabulary. Stick with the 770 and below.

good luck selling a card with nerfed chip, limited memories, questionable cooler and a missing ln2 bios and special version of afterburner. really i mean it. i feel sorry for msi. they should have saved their efforts for the fully active gk110 if they want to sell around $700 level.
 


I'm guessing you didn't really take a look at the exact specs of the MSI GTX 780 Lightning.

Let's recap:
GK110 chip
384-bit memory bandwidth
Tri-Frozr cooler
Dual BIOS, including an LN2 setting
Special "SE" version of Afterburner includes sensors specifically for the Lightning's custom components.

Quick question!
Do Msi, Asus, Evga, etc try out the all their GPUs before deciding which GPU to use in their "superclocked" models?

Each and every chip? No, definitely not.
They get a binned chip that is rater by AMD/Nvidia that is expected to perform in a certain way.
 
i like the comment about msi saving for a full 2880 streams of a k20x gk110 chip....
nvidia wont allow manufactures to modify any part of the titan pcb(which only has 2688 enabled) or the k20 and k20x, its against the law. but no worries, true enthusiasts have already surgically implanted the real k20x gk110 on this board and waterblocked it and are hitting some crazy numbers, upwards of 50% ahead of a reference 780 in synthetics.
