MSI N780 LIGHTNING GeForce GTX 780 3GB

 

 Can't decide what to get?

the MSi twin frozr cooler is good under load

[tristan1035]

The MSI 780 is ridiculously overbuilt (it's made for extreme over-clocking), just go with the one that you think looks cooler and cheaper (personally I would go with the MSI).

[nsyedhasan]

Which one fits your build more? If you're basing your build around the GPU then the Lighting.

Just pick better looking card.

[Mooshi]

Choose whichever you think looks best. If you can't decide, utilize the powers of OCD and match to the brand of your motherboard.

Both are good but the Lightening edition is probably better.

[mgsstar]

I would go with the cheapest one in this case its probably the Asus one because they are both great cards and the MSI card is only great for people who want to extreme overclocks on it.

[Focux]

Lightning hands down.

Hey man, I typed this up earlier just for me to clarify which GPU stands out the most.

just a heads up nvidia may be forced to Cut 780 pricing by the end of the month.

may be October even before price shake-up

[LolNope]

Go for the Lightning if you plan on water cooling or pushing higher clocks

[Akula]

The Lightning is for serious overclocker's, unless you intend to push that card like it's designed for than you are wasting your money.

I love the DirectCU II cooler on the ASUS 780, but it is nowhere near as good lookin' as the MSI Lightning 780 <3 It looks so cool and it has extreme overclocking abilities (as mentioned above). They're both great cards but I'd pick the MSI 780 if I had the money D:
