MSI Lightning vs Kingpin

[SAV1OUR]

Classified. Warranty from EVGA is boss and the memory chips are better overclockers than the lightning. I'm personally going for the Classified. However, the K|NGP|N is the most awesome card possible. SInce we are tlaking about the kingpin I presume we are talking of the 780Ti cards. No Lightning models will be made for the 780Ti so wither way I'd go for the EVGA.

Kingpin card is a beast...

Kingpin is better but the lightning is so much nicer looking. The reason the kingpin is btter is because it can supply even more power than a lightning and it has updated unlocked drivers. As well as beefier power delivery to make use of all this.

Unless you're a ridiculous person doing ridiculous overclocks with nitrogen and stuff, just get a lightning edition.

K|ngp|n or no 780ti

Also i think its awesome that EVGA makes their own "hacked" bios.

if you want extreme overclocking with nitrogine go with the kingpin but for a good overclock or very cool temps using the stock cooler go with the lightning

Pretty sure the lightning has better power delivery, but the kingpin is a better card. Pointless for gamers, but benchmarkers can appreciate it.

I would go with the MSI Lightning since I think the translucent would discolor in the future which would make it look bad.

K|NGP|N for sure. Even if you only want to overclock a bit or a lot it is beast card.
