MSI GTX 980Ti Lightning

I've read some reports about MSI teasing there will be a Lightning version of the 980Ti like they did with their 780 (edited). Is there any specs or more news on this to confirm it's happening, and what do you think the retail price ($ USD) will be?

Is was a 780 not a 780 ti.

I like that cooler design on the MSI GTX "780" Lightning. It's boss! I hope they don't go too crazy if they deviate from this look but the 780 Lightning cooler pictured below looks wider than 2 slots so that may not work for me. Maybe instead of yellow go for a gold metallic look? I'm reading it is expected to be released about 2 months after the 980 Ti launch so August maybe. And wow the EVGA Kingpin 980 Ti will have (8x8x6) pin power connectors.
