MSI GTX275 Lightning is aliveeeeeee again, massman-esque like too

www . holysmokes . com, seriously people i can't believe my luck in the last few days. I tested some old cards i really liked and back to life comes Asus Matrix 4870 that benches 1150 core and this awesome MSI GTX275 Lightning.

Easy 1350/2700/1400 :rofl: :D:shocked: :rocker::rocker::rocker:

I nearly finished 1400Mhz nature run as well. Too bad I ran out of voltage and core frequency with this Afterburner software, need MOAR please. I haven't even bothered testing if i can do more than 1400 on ram either :D

This has to be the best GPU ive ever tested seriously, love it :D

I'm really glad i bought this new Fatty pot from Vince. It seriously rocks, thanks mate!

Test system:

• GIGABYTE P67X-UD3R
• MSI GTX275 Lightning GPU
• Intel Core i5 2600K
• Corsair Dominator GT Hypers
• Kingpin Fatty pot
• Antec TP1200
• Windows Vista 32bit

2500K takes a hit in LH but it is what it is, im happy to have a decent clocking chip at least heh :)

03 nature

There is still more in it, needed a bit of a volt bump but 1440 memory is ok, will try more next time, 133K looks doable :)

? which one

i emailed MSI to edit that AB i have as i also need more MHz on core past 1400 anyways, hopefully they can just do that.

This one! I tested it and for me it works for a 275 Lightning. And for the freq issue, what about using rivatuner?
This should work also...

oh yeah awesome will give that a shot, hoping it will keep going, i want 1500 core :rofl:

Good luck with yours. My 1400 vantage card just did this:

that was an amazing card :(

I hate u.... rofl... .Thats pretty sick.. can't wait to see the results...

Mass... that just sucks.... sorry to hear that...

dinos22, if this card can do this clocks in XP - its best 275))

ps after 1.65v on gpu i have degradation from 1300+ to 1200 in nature :D

You brought two cards back to life??? How?!

Was there a mankini dance involved?

i gave up on them and after a few months thought hell i'll see if they work just one last time :rofl:

gradus thanks for advice :D

That 900+ nature sure will have Vinbo trembling! :D

always a party pooper :D j/k

vinboe is the king of 01, im just happy to play a little :)

alive again so you can kill it for good ah?:D

Lightnings that come back to life ROCK! Hella clocks Dino! :clap:
I sure had alot of fun clocking that 275 lightning. It was a great card for overclocking. Monster clocks.
Too bad gatman aka "da crusher" dropped the best one I had card side down with a Tek-9 FAT on it at the shop back home :(

Did you try the "blah" tool Dinos22?

lol cowie that's the likely destiny hehe but hopefully i can do a couple of runs at least before it pops :D
Timbo, will do

lol bans "da crusher" from vinboe's new lab j/k

i almost killed this card when i did the vmem mod. I had it sitting on the back and didn't notice one of the solder wires coming off the VR and joined the second wire :eek:. System wasn't booting and then i saw the wires crossing FARK. Works now that ive re-soldered the point and covered the solder joints with some blutack lol.

Now let's see some 2k1 action from you dinos :D

man i had 2L left in the tank but couldnt wait till refill, fired up the rig, 5.7GHz check, 1300/1400 check, LOL nature was still doing ~900 FPS. Warmed the card up tried lower clocks, no good. changed from XP to W7, also really low FPS

fired up a GTX295 on one core with 755/1223 and got 1K FPS in nature.

Damn, seems the card may be alive but not really working properly :(
will mod an SOC275 see how that goes


the setup itself is definitely humming along alright. i did a few runs in similar range to my last week's test with gtx295, system looks ok
