Was it worth the wait?

IMO the MSI GPU's (FRZ) are always worth the wait

Thanks VB for the review

Did you need to bump the voltage to get that kind of OC? I am tempted to OC my Palit GTX580 because it has the palit's cooler with two cooling fans on it. I just dont know what voltages are needed to OC these cards. The default voltage on my card is 1.0v

Mmmm - tri-SLI too - me like

I just had an accident after looking at the results, brb.

If you get this in tri-SLI I think your monitor might explode.

every GPU is different, the point about overclocking is testing it to get the best out of your card.

So, one question ... what was the voltage to reach 960Mhz, can you specify?

i'm really interested in this card... was going for the 590 but after the recent turn downs with the cards and VRM not being strong enough to hold overclock, i see my self going for a OC friend card.

Thanks

Thats the answer I got.

 

[tinytomlogan]

Thats the answer I got.

You asked about your palit and thats a completely different card. So answering your question was pointless and would have got you no where but a hot card.

Fair enough , but I was just showing that person what I was told which is the same answer to them because it was the same question.

He asked about the lightning specifically.

OH right. I didnt know that.
