Feel bad for those suckers who spent 769.99 on the classified

Figures. I got tired of waiting and just ordered two 670s =p

Yeah, looks like a nice card with some impressive OCs but the EV Bot requirement is a deal killer. That and there is no availability, they had like 5 cards on sale yesterday and it went OOS in 30 seconds lol.

In any case, can't wait until next week.

Sexy card.. Looks just like my 7970. Wouldn't mind owning one of those. Has to be worlds better build quality than that utter garbage reference design

I was coming here to post the same thing. Mine is on the way, was tempted to go sli, but I fought that urge off. I figure that by the time I need that kind of power another generation or two will be out, so this should be fine unless I go triple screen.

nevermind

Black,

You watching the thread over at EVGA. The EV Bot needs to be updated to the Classified and that file is not available yet so he can't change the voltages

Looks like I made the right choice But he did get some pretty good OC's on air, pretty impressive. Just not 760$ impressive

This guy is pussyfooting around. This is why i should have bought the card. The first thing i would have done would have been upping the voltage. Who cares what the card can do on stock volts

Thats what i'm saying. My first action when using a new GPU is going for a sky high overclock

 

[Grooveriding]

Meh. I want two of these to have real video cards where I can actually control the voltage and overclock, lol.

Can't bring myself to do it. Just don't need any more power than what I have now shockingly.

 

[blackened23]

You're not getting soft are you? No such thing as overkill! Just kidding

They will have voltage control in the next afterburner version (for the Lightning, 1.3v-1.8v), several MSI reps have confirmed this. Although there won't be waterblocks for a while, so I guess that would be a definite minus in your case.

ARRRGGHHH!!! i pulled the trigger on the MSI 670 Power Edition Twin Frozr IV yesterday afternoon.... wish i'd waited 8 hours.

Where did you see 1.8v?! Makes sense because they do have an LN2 mode, just wondering though.

I just play games, don't benchmark Unless some new games come out that demand more of hardware and I want to play, I can't see myself upgrading until there is a single card with the power I have now.

I believe a MSI rep stated that the 670PE should do at least 1.3 in the proper afterburner version, and the 680 lightning up to 1.8 on LN2. I think the 580 lightning/7970 lightning can do 1.8V with the LN2 BIOS, far beyond overkill

Reference design is crap, i don't like my reference EVGA GTX 680's, but that is why they will be in waterblocks.

1175 mV limit though. Not sure if water is awfully helpful, except for noise and preventing the 70C/80C throttling.

I've seen some GTX 690 water results are the results aren't too great, on average users are getting 50-70mhz more which is okay but not amazing. Definitely not worth a 500$ custom loop. Which made me jump for the lightnings, which will be worthy of water. :twisted: When blocks are released anyway

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Whats the actual voltage limit on the lightnings?

My 690 will do 1200 boost core on stock cooling so I imagine 60-100 more boost clock on water

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Send it to me I'll mod it for you

That's funny!:biggrin:

Don: OMG the GTX690 is already a freakin Ferrari

1.8v with the LN2 bios

He'll mod it with heroin Just kidding
