2015-08-29
everyone i'm steve from gamers nexus Donette and i am joined by david chain from msi and david is mostly going to model the card here for us I would say well we're short here today is our new gtx 980 TI lightning is a beast of a card just been released actually yesterday here at PAX Prime yeah it's it's a huge card that's why i need a separate person to hang on to it for me and the 980 I lightning is targeted at overclocking so it ships with a pre overclock it's a 1200 and three megahertz pre overclock and then the boost is 1304 or something like that and it does have overclocking Headroom for you to actually play around and do some of your own overclocking of course so this is I believe the reference 980 TI is a thousand megahertz that puts us at 200 megahertz overclock which is in competition with the EVGA hybrid which is a 12 28 or something in its liquid cools so this one in terms of cooling uses air it's got the Tri frozer solution here it's got three torques fans which is an MSI fan and you can read more about that on the website so three fans sitting on top of course the giant aluminum heatsink super vibes actually these are sewer pipes underneath actually are eight millimeter pipe to help expensively well the heat dissipation and those contact with the GPU itself and then we've got a it looks like there's a suspension plate here to help reduce sag of the card and then the normal backplate that you've all seen before so this helps reduce the sag of the video card that's something that we saw on the MSI 3 90 x as well that I just reviewed and then there's your normal back plate with the Lightning branding in terms of branding it's also got an LED RGB LED setup that you can configure through windows through software this is actually called mystic light so we actually you could go in and control the lice yourself out of the way we totally want full RGB yeah so that's called mystic lights lights yeah it's actually available on all of our new gaming products go all possible motherboards as well so that is the msi 90 I lightning I was told yesterday that one of the more professional overclockers has achieved upwards of 1900 megahertz which is really truly absurd so we're going to try to look at this do some of our own overclocking and for more information hit the link in the description below for the article and I will see you all next time
