Don't even know what to say. Eagerly awaiting what his other four cards do. :ohcrap:

[Hondacity]

the lightning doesn't need as much mods lol

[Chuchnit]

Wonder if that was just a freakzilla card?

[Hondacity]

are you suggesting...its a binned gpu?

[Witchdoctor]

Reguardless 1500 core is sick ...................................... :eek2:

[Hondacity]

double that Witchdoctor dude:eek2::eek2:

[Chuchnit]

are you suggesting...its a binned gpu?

No I'm not suggesting anything. He said he has 5 and this is the first one he tested. I'm just wondering if it's a freak of a card or if the other four will clock similar.

Reguardless 1500 core is sick ...................................... :eek2:

Indeed it is....

[Kal-EL]

[Hondacity]

Man I'm sooooooo glad I didn't buy any reference 580's. :leghump:


hahhaha i hate you

[thebanik]

I hope prices are below but not more than 600$ though.....

[sofos1990]

Man I'm sooooooo glad I didn't buy any reference 580's. :leghump:

same feelings :D

[Hondacity]

you still have to mod this though... and void warranty once they see you modded it lol

[Chuchnit]

Isn't warranty [technically] voided on any parts we overvolt/overclock? Especially once they go sub-zero. It is nice that there are products out with software mods though like the lightning series.

[Hondacity]

im not going there...

[Witchdoctor]

When will Asus release these beast I guess is the real question

Chuch, they should defenanly rename the card though ... I love it :laughing:

Asus WTF? Edition

What a T-Shirt ................... :thumbsup:

[Hondacity]

price guesstimate 649$

[GeorgeStorm]

Read on xtremesystems that somewhere in germany has priced it a 479EUR
Which is roughly 650USD
Which equals just over £400
However, since normal cards are that or more, I somehow doubt it will be that much in the UK, as usual, we will get ripped off :p

[Hondacity]

its a ripoff! :D

[GeorgeStorm]

Normal 580's cost that much over here :p £380ish is probs the cheapest

[Splave]

uh oh, dont think the lightning can do that :X

[HITandRUN]

Sick! I need one! :thumbsup:

[Neuromancer]

Cant it do 1100 on air???

[Hondacity]

thermal limit....prolly not

[Witchdoctor]

Cant it do 1100 on air???

Maybee 1200 on dice ?

sick card .... love the three bay cooler ..... Might do 1100 on cold ass air ???

[thebanik]

I will buy once you guyz have done testing it and decide to dump it for cheap. Whoever decides to sell it put me in line please, :P, hahahahahaha

[thebanik]

Its getting launched for around 750$ in India but I guess high end hardware is always costly here so this might be around the expected 600-650$ I believe in US

[kikicoco1334]

i wonder what will it look like when it's muti sli on it :D how sick that would be

[Witchdoctor]

They can bight me for $ 750.00 ......

Stick with my vinilla's I guess

[Splave]

holy jeebus thats expensive if true, def cant afford that atm

[GeorgeStorm]

Some 580s are that much over here already :p
this will easily be over £500 (850USD)

[thebanik]

:(, my request for a sample was turned down, guess would never be able to see this in person, hahahahahahahaha

[Hondacity]

its @ newegg

for 5 fingers

this thread should be in the gpu section....general discussion?

[thebanik]

OMG!!!!!!!!!1 Listed for only 504$. Its gonna be sold out soon......

[Kal-EL]

I don't understand why its the same price as the vanilla 580s?

[Hondacity]

they're making msi 580 lightning obsolete...

[Witchdoctor]

They are only clocked like a vinnila .... :Dizzy:

[Kal-EL]

They are only clocked like a vinnila .... :Dizzy:

Yah but with a megalomania h/s.

[Hondacity]

They are only clocked like a vinnila .... :Dizzy:

just like shammy's gpu...there were clocked the same thing...

[thebanik]

They are only clocked like a vinnila .... :Dizzy:

Can be a marketing strategy??? Show off amazing clocks through sham but otherwise these are not binned chips or anything and no guarantee of better clocks at all......

[Splave]

ala lightning

[Hondacity]

Can be a marketing strategy??? Show off amazing clocks through sham but otherwise these are not binned chips or anything and no guarantee of better clocks at all......

its ln2....anything is possible..either good gpu..or good mods....

we do ln2..for what reason? coz we wanna push our results...


you put any hardware with ln2......anybody can say...its marketting...

[Kal-EL]

So who's pinching the pig on this one?

[DOM]

So who's pinching the pig on this one?
nobody wants to pinch you :laugh:

i asked the wife she said no :blush:

[GeorgeStorm]

If they're the same price as vanilla, then there's no harm in getting them is there?

[Hondacity]

dunno why shammy had to do those mods.... so many mods... so many reasons for rma to be denied ...
