Kicking people when they're down? Went into a rage? Anyway, sure, you have a point about advertising features that aren't ready. Personally I don't care and don't mind the wait because i'm hitting high overclocks already and overvoltage means jack for gaming -- it only matters for synthetic benchmarks. That said Its a valid point, you guys are right that MSI could have handled that better, it should have been ready from the getgo. My personal opinion is that having near 1375 in single card and 1352 in sli is pretty darn good so I don't mind waiting a bit, but others have different views perhaps.

I'm sure you won't settle for anything less than perfect since you mysteriously RMA'ed 10 GTX 680s in an attempt to find the one that overclocks the highest. Anyway, sure, you have a point about advertising features that aren't ready. Personally I don't care and don't mind the wait, thats me though. Shrug.

Nothing wrong with not caring or minding the wait, man. But what's ok for you, might not work for others. You are pretty spot on saying that voltage might only make a difference in benching, but that doesn't change the fact that MSI clearly advertised it as one of the main features, and MSIAlex said a couple times that it would be here soon when Unwinder didn't even have a working card. I think that's what's bothering most owners, not 3dmark scores lol.

Card is still a beast either way thumb.gif

I just saw unwinders latest posts, so you guys have a valid point. It should not have been printed on the box if it wasn't ready, so I concede that point. While it doesn't affect me, what works for me may not work for someone else, so i'll just admit I was wrong to throw my opinion out there.

I really enjoy the cards, I guess I should filter my opinions on this kind of stuff a bit. So, apologies to bosniac etc.

I'm not getting anything near 1352 in SLI, I guess I had better set my hair on fire and run around in circles biggrin.gif

I am a enthusiast, overclocker and pay a premium price for it. I love hardware. I purchased the lightning for voltage tweaking on the core and memory. If 2.2.3 is not available within 10 days, which will be near the 30th day after purchase I may very well return it.

Dont get me wrong, this is the most solid card I have ever purchased.

I gotta ask guys, i'm stuck between getting the lightning and classified. I hear the lightning has solid performance as well as the classified just I like the peace of mind with 4GB. What do you guys think?

EVGA Classy is just too much $$ to be honest. I'm pretty sure the 680L s a much better performing cooler and similar performance.

They were sent a long time ago but apparently shipping takes forever to whatever country unwinder is in. He got one card that was ES, he is waiting for another.

Heres my scores for the thread:

2600K @ 4.8 mhz

Heaven @ 1337 and 7000

326

3DMark11 @ 1337 and 7100

391

These overclocks are stable in long heaven runs but BF3 doesnt like them at all which is the opposite of my previous cards.
