MSI GTX 980Ti Lightning in Development
- Thread starter WYP
- Start date
If this isn't yellow, it might make more sense in MSI's current hierarchy. But as that doesn't make any sense anyway i'd really prefer it to be yellow again.

Will be one to watch considering they have dropped yellow on the boards
Does that mean it should have white bits then?
Actually... Wouldn't be a horrible idea. Might get mixed up with Krait though

Yeah white wouldnt work with their branding sadly
I'm just imagining a card with transparent accents with white LED lighting... Now that would be one hell of a card

All black with subtle white or yellow leds would look mint!
Subtle yellow may just make it look dirty but white would work. Anything is better than the blue they were using!

Wonder how long it will be 'til we get some details.
I'm looking into buying a 980Ti and have been eyeing up the HOF but if a lightning is not too far off I may have to wait!

Yeah who knows where this will go, perhaps they will carry the silver PCB Titanium theme across from the XPOWER. Things aren't going to look very coherent unless they do go down that route really. I hope GAMING and LIGHTNING can remain separate entities. I'm a big fan of the flagship overclocking cards from everyone and their respective branding.
The X99 refresh was quite recent and MSI retained the yellow on that XPOWER so perhaps it isn't totally over.
The blue lighting works well in my opinion, blue is a subtle colour and they way they are implemented as little accents is quite tasteful. Like most premium cards its the RGB indicator which can't be controlled that gives the most visual clutter, if that could be locked permanently blue it would work a little better. Seeing yellow/green/blue/red is too much.
