00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.839
Linus Tech tips coverage of pxs 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel

00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:10.320
and steel series the star of the show

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:16.000
here at the MSI Booth is of course the GTX 780 lightning this is their first

00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:20.960
non-reference GTX 780 fully non reference we're talking completely

00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:26.000
redesigned cooling completely redesigned PCB completely redesigned freaking

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:31.160
everything so the PCB is actually not only larger than a normal GTX 780 but

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:35.079
they've got their GP reactor on the back of it which can provide better voltage

00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:39.680
stability during extreme overclocking they've got a dual BIOS mode for the

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:43.440
card that has got an ln2 optimized or liquid nitrogen optimized mode or a

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.879
normal mode depending on how you're going to be using the card they've completely redesigned even the concept

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:55.960
of their cooler so all them military class components are covered by a back

00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:58.719
plate on the back a unisync on the front

00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:02.719
and then three fans instead of two fans like you'd normally find on their

00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:06.680
traditional twin frozer so that I guess they could call that like a like a tri

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.960
frozer or something like that they're still using their propeller blade fans

00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:13.560
and they have their dust removal technology meaning the fans spin

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:18.799
backwards on startups so that you don't get dust and Gunk all built up into the

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:21.920
heatsink it's got eight super pipes

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:23.600
which is MSI's branding for basically

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.799
larger than normal heat pipes that are able to carry heat away from the heat

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:31.920
generating components more effectively than regular pipes and of course you've

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:36.880
got all of the usual NVIDIA technology so support for three monitors and NVIDIA

00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:41.000
3D Vision surround with an auxiliary monitor support for SLI up to four-way

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:45.200
although three-way is really the highest that we normally recommend or two-way

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:50.759
for people who are more concerned with performance per dollar it needs two 8

00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:55.680
Pin PCI Express plugs and while I don't have the details on what it's clocked at

00:01:53.119 --> 00:01:59.200
by default I think we can all agree that whatever it's clocked at with the

00:01:57.240 --> 00:02:03.200
cooling solution that you've got on here it's going to be running at that speed

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.079
all the time because GPU Boost 2.0 depends on keeping the card cool in

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:10.080
order to get the best performance guys don't miss any of our packs coverage

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.239
remember our trip to the show is powered by Western Digital Intel and steel
