00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,880
Thank you to HyperX for sending us to PAX Prime 2015 this year. Check out

2
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:08,280
their Cloud 2 gaming headset in the video description down below. Also,

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:13,519
thank you to ASUS and Corsair. All right, guys. Time to check

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,440
out the MSI Lightning 980 Ti. This thing

5
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:20,640
is huge. I'll get into the dimensions later, but it has

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:25,359
2,816 CUDA cores running at a base clock

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:26,800
of 123 MHz and a boost clock of 134 MHz.

8
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:33,520
Although, as you guys know, that probably doesn't really matter due to how GPU boost works. But it's the

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:37,760
highest advertised boost clock on a GTX 980 Ti that I know of, which is pretty

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:42,399
beastly and probably means that the final boost clock from GPU Boost will be

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,239
absolutely huge, especially due to the size of the cooler on this thing and the

12
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,399
amount of fans on this thing and all that kind of stuff. In terms of memory,

13
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:55,160
it has a stock amount of memory at 6 gigs of 384bit GDDDR5, but it's running

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,079
at 7,096 freaking MHz. In terms of power

15
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:03,920
input, you have two eightpin connectors and one six pin connector, which should

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:10,720
help your GPU boost numbers. In terms of power phases, you have 12 GPU and three

17
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:12,880
memory phases. It has a 10 layer PCB and

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:17,280
triple over voltage, triple temp monitoring, and V checkpoints. All for

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:20,880
your GPU, memory, and PLL. There's twin BIOS. They have a gaming BIOS and an OC

20
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:24,320
BIOS. Although, I would just run it on the OC BIOS no matter what you're doing.

21
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,680
It's just removing some kind of base limiters, but you'll be fine. GPU boost

22
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:31,520
is going to stop you from frying your card anyways. Under those three giant

23
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,360
fans that I mentioned earlier, you have triple 8 mm heat pipes and some other

24
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:43,680
heat pipes in there as well, which should help cooling. These things are huge, just like the car. Speaking of the

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:47,920
huge card, this thing is 330 mm long,

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,119
140 mm tall, and 63 mm thick. So, yeah,

27
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,759
be careful if you're going to try to fit this into a case. You got two SLI

28
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:57,360
fingers on the top and a PCIe 3.0 connector on the bottom. And then in

29
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,920
terms of IO, you have three display ports, one HDMI and one dual link DVI

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,000
connector. And those are actually goldplated. Not that that does anything

31
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,840
for the quality of the connection, but it will apparently help you plug things

32
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,360
in over time because it's a little bit malleable and will form to your

33
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,520
connector. I'm really interested to see how well this thing boosts on an actual

34
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,120
rig. But as I can't test this here, we'll just have to wait. Thank you guys

35
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:25,040
for watching. Check out HyperX's gaming YouTube channel up in the card section

36
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:28,239
in the top right hand corner. And also, thank you to ASUS and Corsair for

37
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:32,959
sending us here this year. Be sure to subscribe to HyperX's channel. I forgot to give them that call out. If you want

38
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,879
