Check out their Cloud 2 gaming headset in the video description down below. Also, thank you to ASUS and Corsair. All right, guys. Time to check out the MSI Lightning 980 Ti. This thing is huge. I'll get into the dimensions later, but it has 2,816 CUDA cores running at a base clock of 123 MHz and a boost clock of 134 MHz. Although, as you guys know, that probably doesn't really matter due to how GPU boost works. But it's the highest advertised boost clock on a GTX 980 Ti that I know of, which is pretty beastly and probably means that the final boost clock from GPU Boost will be absolutely huge, especially due to the size of the cooler on this thing and the amount of fans on this thing and all that kind of stuff. In terms of memory, it has a stock amount of memory at 6 gigs of 384bit GDDDR5, but it's running at 7,096 freaking MHz. In terms of power input, you have two eightpin connectors and one six pin connector, which should help your GPU boost numbers. In terms of power phases, you have 12 GPU and three memory phases. It has a 10 layer PCB and triple over voltage, triple temp monitoring, and V checkpoints. All for your GPU, memory, and PLL. There's twin BIOS. They have a gaming BIOS and an OC BIOS.
