Thanks for your kind reminder.

after all is this a rebranded gtx 680 with gpu boost 2.0?

[david cassar]

If the benchmarks are true this is going to be a tough sell IMO. An hd 7970 performs the same if not better than the gtx 680 and costs less and you get 4 free games.

Possible...... Maybe with GPU boost 2?

Wait why does it says it's pluged in PCI express 2.0? Doesnt that motherboard support PCI express 3.0?

Sandy Bridge E motherboards don't support PCIe 3.0 .

[cDNA]

Sandy Bridge E motherboards don't support PCIe 3.0 .

Really?

[TechFan@ic]

Really?

PCIe 3.0 support came with Ivy Bridge.

[Lukiose]

Does it have a backplate?

Really just looks like a rebranded 680 though, albeit with a rather impressive stock boost clock of 1202mhz

[Uberskills]

they should of put more than 2gb of ram

[Jan.B]

yeah looks like a rebranded 680 with some more features here and there..nothing special i suppose other then maybe gpu boost 2.0

[AndyCapets]

If it's the same price as the reference card, I'm getting this one. (hopefully not more than 450€)

That's the lightning stock boost clock, stock clock boost clock on the normal cards will be lower than that.

[TicTac]

omg i want one any idea when they might come out?

[Bluejay0]

When will MSI come out for a GTX 780

[Jozi]

Y U no put 3gb GDDR5 in GTX 770 :mellow:

But still, factory 1200mhz without personal overclocking looks pretty swell :P

Well the original 680 lightning would boost to 1201mhz, this 770 lightning supposedly boosts to 1241mhz, just a 40mhz bump doesn't seem all that impressive to me.

How much overclocking headroom do these cards have left though? Never had experience with lightning cards

I know the 7970 lightning had a 140mhz headroom over its factory overclock without any extra voltage, not sure how much OC headroom was on the 680 lightning though, not much I would imagine because of the voltage cap.

looks a little better than the 680, but the 780 ends up killing it so saving up for the flagship
