MSI 980TI Lightning Revealed [Reviewed by guru3d]

[Lays]

Yeah nevermind I read it wrong, they were just talking about whether that Msi Titanium board is silver or white. Not the Lightning.

That x power isn't the official x power in a traditional sense. It is in their gaming line, and the x power has always been in their OC line.

So a new one will probably come out soon to continue their OC line.. Either that or they're ditching the x power oc board and just going to go all out on the m power.

I just want to know when it's going to launch... I love EVGA but this would look so good on my MPower build.

Yea I know, the Lightning will most likely be black & yellow like it always is but it would be awesome to see a different color scheme for a change.

Also the teasers that came out back in June has their OC series stamp on them. Btw I read on OCN that NDA lift is apparently the end of this month.

If they do a Titanium Edition like they did with their new XPOWER board I will literally crap my pants. 

 

I like the grey/red scheme from Asus more tbh

Right but that's Asus not MSI, if you like Black & Red more thats what the MSI Gaming and the Asus Strix are for.

I'm pretty sure Skylake colours are grey/red I see it everywhere. Can't wait to get the extreme motherboard to place it in a grey Air 540 case:

Hmmm might be the lighting in that pic, looks black/red to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi81vfXUhj4

Come on... the heatsinks are grey

[ChrisxIxCross]

Yeah thats true they're gunmetal/ silver. However imo most of the motherboard is black due to that I/O cover on the left side. 

[danielhowk]

from previous generations how much more additional is msi lightning compared to msi 6g ?

[HarmFull]

Bet it would look nice with their Xpower/Mpower boards

[ChrisxIxCross]

I knew them making a Titanium Edition was wishful thinking... Classic Black/Yellow color scheme and triple fan cooler confimed guys! Also looks like its possible the accents will be LED illuminated and RGB so you can change it to whatever color you want. @Lays @jesper101996 http://videocardz.com/57340/msi-geforce-gtx-980-ti-lightning-teased-once-again

 

Edit: I just noticed how those yellow accent rings spell out "O.C." pretty clever haha
