![]() | ![]() Once in a while, a high-end video card lands on my test table; in most cases just to overclock on air cooling without even the most simple voltage modifications. This time however we put the card under LN2 and found out this is a golden sample within the Lightning series. Is it the fastest running NVIDIA GPU ever? http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=977

![]() | ![]() depends on how you look at it; NVIDIA "reference" dictates 650Mhz GPU; MSI version comes with pre-OC at 700Mhz. So "stock" it's not quite 100% OC, but compared to reference, it surpasses 100% OC; which is quite rare for VGA cards. Mostly only a few low end cards achieve this (7300 GT, 2400 XT etc), almost never higher end. (edit: had to add almost)

![]() | ![]() If I can run 1400/1435 again in combination with a 5.1GHz cpu ... 21k should be possible! |

![]() | ![]() MSI actually also confirms this: on air cooling it's not an insane card, but it has been built for extreme overclocking. |
