Thank you to HyperX for sending us to PAX Prime 2015 this year. Check out

00:00:03.280 --> 00:00:08.280
their Cloud 2 gaming headset in the video description down below. Also,

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:13.519
thank you to ASUS and Corsair. All right, guys. Time to check

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.440
out the MSI Lightning 980 Ti. This thing

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:20.640
is huge. I'll get into the dimensions later, but it has

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:25.359
2,816 CUDA cores running at a base clock

00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.800
of 123 MHz and a boost clock of 134 MHz.

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

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:37.760
highest advertised boost clock on a GTX 980 Ti that I know of, which is pretty

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:42.399
beastly and probably means that the final boost clock from GPU Boost will be

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.239
absolutely huge, especially due to the size of the cooler on this thing and the

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.399
amount of fans on this thing and all that kind of stuff. In terms of memory,

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

00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:00.079
at 7,096 freaking MHz. In terms of power

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.920
input, you have two eightpin connectors and one six pin connector, which should

00:01:01.760 --> 00:01:10.720
help your GPU boost numbers. In terms of power phases, you have 12 GPU and three

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:12.880
memory phases. It has a 10 layer PCB and

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:17.280
triple over voltage, triple temp monitoring, and V checkpoints. All for

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

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.

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.680
It's just removing some kind of base limiters, but you'll be fine. GPU boost

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:31.520
is going to stop you from frying your card anyways. Under those three giant

00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:35.360
fans that I mentioned earlier, you have triple 8 mm heat pipes and some other

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

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:47.920
huge card, this thing is 330 mm long,

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:49.119
140 mm tall, and 63 mm thick. So, yeah,

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

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:57.360
fingers on the top and a PCIe 3.0 connector on the bottom. And then in

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:01.920
terms of IO, you have three display ports, one HDMI and one dual link DVI

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.000
connector. And those are actually goldplated. Not that that does anything

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:09.840
for the quality of the connection, but it will apparently help you plug things

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:13.360
in over time because it's a little bit malleable and will form to your

00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:17.520
connector. I'm really interested to see how well this thing boosts on an actual

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

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.040
for watching. Check out HyperX's gaming YouTube channel up in the card section

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:28.239
in the top right hand corner. And also, thank you to ASUS and Corsair for

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

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:36.879
to see the products brought here this year by HyperX, ASUS, and Corsair, check
