MSI GTX 680 Lightning 2GB Graphics Card Review

Aliens Vs Predator is a science fiction first-person shooter computer game that relies on DirectX 11 and high amounts of Tessellation in conjunction to give enhanced shadows and fantastic textures to the surrounds and characters within the game.

Very much the same story with Aliens Vs Predator, as we see the MSI GTX 680 Lightning battling past at the higher resolution, by 1FPS, but every little helps, and shows to us that this card really means business across multiple resolutions.

  1. Page 11: “bain?”

    Bain, n. [F. bain, fr. L. balneum. Cf. Bagnio.] A bath; a bagnio. [Obs.] –Holland.

    You need to spell it correctly for it to have the desired meaning:

    bane
    noun
    1. a person or thing that ruins or spoils: Gambling was the bane of his existence.
    2. a deadly poison (often used in combination, as in the names of poisonous plants): wolfsbane; henbane.
    3. death; destruction; ruin.
    4. Obsolete . that which causes death or destroys life: entrapped and drowned beneath the watery bane.

  2. How you manage a review on a OC specific card, without a mention of OC, and still stay credible is perplexing. This is a card that people will buy for mainly OC, and you fail to bench it!? LoL, what?

    1. We were working on an overclocking specific article but afterburner doesn’t fully support this particular card. Msi have even admitted that 2.2.2 isn’t good enough and no sign of a new beta yet.

      Due to this the overclock we got was pretty shocking at only 1180mhz when we know this card can do so much more.

      We are still in talks with msi in regards to this.

      1. Fair enough. I fault MSi for advertising “unlocked voltage” on the product, yet not delivering. Reminds me of the EVGA GTX 580 Classified mishandling.

        1. Yeah, afterburner etc… Shows 1.175 yet the multimeter shows 1.22 when connected to the v check points, though no difference was seen when overclocking and increasing the voltage as it simply didn’t increase.

  3. It should also be appropriate to mention that if you are using these cards in SLI, you have to keep at least 1 card slot spacing between cards. This is for 2 reasons. 1) the fans do protrude above the shroud, and easily come into contact with the backplane of the SLI card unless you are very careful and use something to wedge between the cards to maintain clearance for the fans. Otherwise, the fans can, and will, jam, and will not spin. You will not notice this unless you look for it, or until the card overheats and shuts down. and 2) The card evidently needs “breathing room” for the cooler to work as designed because if you do install 2 or 3 cards in SLI without at least a slot spacing between them, they overheat and shut down within 30 seconds of running a stress test or benchmark. Therefore, you are essentially limited to 2 cards if you want to do an SLI. If you want 3-Way or 4-Way SLI, you need to look at custom cooling solutions.
