MSI N770 Lightning.. The Lightning Continues...

From MSI N680GTX Lightning to the R7970 Lightning, now comes the new N770 Lightning. 
First of all let’s talk about the GTX 770 GPU Chip. It has the same GK104 graphics processor as the GTX 680 have but cranked up. Reference core and boost clocks have been raised to 1046MHz/1085Mhz and the memory speed to 7GT/s.  Aside from this, the GTX 770 GPU Boost has been upgraded to version 2.0, allowing Higher Clocks to punch in more often.
Comparing: GTX 770 vs GTX 680
Stream Processor:1536 - 1536
Texture Units:128 - 128
ROPs   :32 - 32
Core Clock:1046Mhz - 1006MHz
Boost Clock:1085Mhz - 1058MHz
Memory Clock: 7Ghz GDDR5 - 6Ghz GDDR5
Memory Bus Width: 256 Bit - 256 Bit
TDP:230W - 195W
Transistor Count: 3.5B - 3.5B
Mftg. Process: 28nm - 28nm
Now with the N770 Lightning, the video card has been factory overclocked to a core speed of 1150 Mhz (ref. 1046) and a boost clock of 1202 Mhz (ref. 1085) while the memory clock has been kept on a standard speed of 7010 Mhz. The GTX 770 Lightning will also use MSI’s GPU Reactor providing higher power levels and cleaner signals for the GPU. Other components that MSI have integrated into the card are the Military Class IV, voltage check points and 8+8pin PCIE Power connector thus making the video card break limits in the world of overclocking.
Here are the things you will find upon flipping the front cover of the box…
For the accessories…
•Certificate of Quality & Stability
•Quick User’s Guide
•Driver Utility Disc
•SLI Bridge Connector
•V-Check Point Connectors  (connecting this with your digital multi-meter will show the actual voltages of certain components of the video card like the GPU)
•2x 6 Pin to 8 Pin Power Connectors
•DVI to VGA Adapter
With the Lightning’s TwinFrozr 4 cooler, it promises to bring the video card temps below 60c and at the same time being quiet. It also boast the 2x 10cm Propeller Blade Fan technology which provides higher air volume to the card for faster heat dissipation. Dust Removal technology is also been implemented now in the Lightning series of video cards as it automatically cleans your video card.
Two SLI bridges on top of the N770 Lightning and to clarify things up, it is only intended for a Tri-SLI configuration.
Below are three SuperPipes with one being on top which also helps cooling the GPU chip. You can also see at the bottom part of the video card the Golden SSC Military Class IV Components.. These components are no ordinary; they can withstand extreme conditions, run with stability and power efficiency and provides longer lifespan to the video card.
Checking the back side of the card, back-plate is installed thus making it cooler and to avoid bending the video card. The blue circle thing you see there is the GPU-Reactor – an additional PCB connected at the back of the video card which also lights up when powered up.
Video Outputs:
•Dual-link DVI-I x 1
•Dual-link DVI-D x 1
•DisplayPort x 1 (version 1.2)
•HDMI x 1 (version 1.4a)
My Test System:
•Processor: Intel i7 3770K
•Motherboard: MSI Z77 MPower
•Memory: G. Skill Pi Black 2x2GB 2200Mhz
•SSD: Kingston HyperX 3k 90GB
•PSU: Antec TPQ 1200
First set of benchmarks are all on Stock Speed.
1. 3dMark06 29765
2. 3dMark Vantage P34525
3. 3dMark11 P10759
4. Heaven DX11 X 2341.411
2nd Set of benchmarks, all were overclocked. From the Processor, Memory and as well as the Video Card. You can also see that the video card would perform better on an overclocked Processor.
1. 3dMark06 38407
2. 3dmark Vantage P39691
3. 3dmark11 P12356
4. Heaven DX11 X 2477.77
That would be it 

Hello,
About PSU: 450W is not enough for either of them. For 760 or above it is recommended to have 600W (as the minimum) power supply.
Both cards has similar cooling, but I would prefer lightning edition (hey, it's 770 not 760 which is little bit lower in performance). However if you also look for the design to fit your case, then that's up to you. Obviously if the card will run hot, most likely you will have to reapply thermal paste (very common in case of GPUs).
Your shop is very limited, but why not use this search, just pick your country Already selected for N770 lightning

  • MSI N770 Lightning vs MSI N760 Hawk

    Hi guys.
    I don't know which graphic card should I get. Originally I wanted to get XFX or Asus R9 280,but they both s**k. So I decided to think about opposite "camp" and go with NVidia based cards.
    Now,I heard a lot of good things about N760 Hawk,a lot of people say that it's best 760 card which I could find. I also heard a lot of great things about N780 Lightning,but price is crazy,so I thought I could get N770 Lightning.
    My shop is very limited with brands,and at the moment they don't have N770 Lightning,and they have N760 Hawk.
    I've heard N760 Hawk has 5 heat pipes (compared to Gaming which has 4). So I was wondering if N770 Lightning or the Lightning series have also 5 heat pipes? How are the temperatures compared on this 2 cards?
    If 770 Lightning has 5 heat pipes and it's colder.
    Question is: I have XFX 450W Core Edition PSU (Best 450W PSU which exists),and I was wondering: will my PSU be enough for N770 Lightning if I'm not planing to OC graphic card?
    Tnx for your answers.
    GS.

  • Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

    Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

    ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
    Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
    however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
    so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
    just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.

  • I thought the lightning charger would charge quicker and not take 8 hours to reach 100% battery from dead?

    Is the lightning charger supposed to charge quicker?

    What older chargers?   The chargers are them same they have always been.  The only difference is the interface. Its a bit smaller. But the chargers produce the same amount of power.
    5watts for the smaller iPhone and iPad Mini chargers, and 12watts for the larger iPad charger.
    With that said 8 hours is bit too much. Unless it was completely discharged it should be around the 3 to 4 hour mark to go from 2 or 5% to 100%.  It takes longer if its completely discharged.
    If it continues to take this long, the best bet is to take it to an Apple store for evaluation. There may be a problem with the battery. If there is they should exchange it for free.

  • How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable.  I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

  • HT4101 The Lightning to USB Camera Adapter doesn't work

  • What is the length of the Lightning cable that comes with the iPad Air?

    Actually have three questions.
    1. What is the length of the Lightning cable that came with my iPad Air? I ask because I might need to purchase a new one.
    2. My current Lightning cable, the one that came with my Air, the end of the cable, the rubber is coming off, it's stretched. Would AC+ send me a new one?
    3. I have an iPhone 5s also, does the iPhone have it's own unique Lightning cable or can I use my iPad Air Lightning cable to charge my iPhone and vice versa, are the Lightning cables universal with the newer products?
    Thanks.

  • When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone.  This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working, help!

    When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone.  This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working. help!

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

  • Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.

    Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.com has rejected my password. The password is correct (I'm able to check my e-mail through my browser at me.com), but for some reason Mail keeps on rejecting it. I usually don't have to input my password at all in Mail. Any clue how to fix this? I haven't changed anything at all on my laptop.

    I did change my apple ID password though...

  • Hi, im trying to download pictures from my camera but when I connect the lightning to usb camera adapter i get the message that there is too much energy required to support the device, can anyone help me?

    Hi, I´m trying to use the lightning to usb camera adaper, but I get a message that ¨there is too much energy needed to support the device¨, so I can´t download my pictures, can anyone help me?

    This discussion may help.
    It mostly depends on the camera. Some cameras have a Transfer Mode, which does not attempt to charge while transferring pictures. does yours have such a setting?
    Alternatively you can try to plug a powered USB hub between the camera and the USB connector so the power is provided by the HUB rather than the iPad.
    Other than that, yes the Memory card reader may be a better option assuming your Camera uses Secure Digital (SD) type memory cards.

  • Will the lightning to 30 pin adapter play music through my dock

    My husband has a 7th gen iPod nano, and I have a docking station for my iPhone 3GS, we have been looking at the lightning to 30 pin adapter today music through my dock, will this work?

    I would check Sony's site and see what they say.

  • Does the lightning to 30 pin adapter support audio?

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation and can't listen to it in the car because the wire from the cars FM transmitter has a 30 pin connection. I was just wondering if the lightning to 30 pin adapter would support the audio.

    Hey treshz98,
    Thanks for the information, I believe the following article addresses your question:
    Lightning to 30-pin Adapter: Using video adapters or other 30-pin accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5498
    When you connect an iPod or iPhone with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, the iPod or iPhone will be treated like an iPod that does not support iPod Out. You should still be able to navigate through and play your music using the vehicle's built-in user interface.
    Additional information:

  • Logitech speaker S715i won't recharge my "ipad mini" using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter. Has anyone solved this problem?

    Everytime I connect my mini to the Logitech S715i or Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus speaker a pop-up appears telling me the iPad doesn't recognize the device and the battery symbol shows that it isn't loading. I am using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter.
    Is there a way to correct this so my speaker will act as a dock and load the iPad?
    Would love the help if you have the know how. Thanks!

    Since the last update I have noticed the percentage of battery power does increase when my iPad mini has been docked although the actually staus reported on the iPad screen while docked is 'not charging'. This is obviously an Apple recognization problem (not sure about third party as Apple is providing the software).
    Will not return my Logitech as it has excellent sound (speakers are higher watt then others in this price range), plus it has a built in battery which means I can take it on the terrace for tea in the afternoon.
    As pointed out it requires more power then the iPhone, it does take longer to charge, so in the future if I need a quicker charge I'll do it via a wall outlet.
    side note: This problem must also be why my iMac is shutting down all other USB devices when the iPad is plugged in.

  • Will the lightning to 30 pin adapter work with the irig midi interface?

    will the lightning to 30 pin adapter work with the irig midi interface?  Want to record guitar with garage band on ipad mini. need quick/easy way to connect USB to ipad mini

    From both? Interesting. I like that though. I am looking for the controls to be on the iPhone rather than the stereo as it ***** finding songs this way. And yeah, $39.00 is a lot for this, and it is only roughly 8" long. Oh well, I will need it, so I will have to buy it. Thanks for the message back!

  • Will the lightning to 30-pin adapter work with my 2008 Volkswagen Jetta?

    I have a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta that came with an iPod Adapter in the center console. Has anyone recently tried using the lightning to 30-pin adapter with one if they have one? Even if it isn't a VW Jetta? Maybe something older or 2009? I want this and I am getting the iPhone 5 soon, but I don't exactly want to spend the $39.00 to see if this would work. Anyone have any experience or at least know if it would work?
    If it does, where are the controls used from; the iPhone or the stereo system in the car still?
    Thank you in advance.
    Kyle
