What is the vanilla priced at there?

Ranges from s$669 (eg. Palit) to s$759 (eg. eVGA). There are brands that are in between these prices.
Been looking around Afterburner to check for other voltage monitoring. Can only find the vGPU. I read in another forum that the monitoring for other voltages for this card is still under development. I guess we have to wait and see.
Has any MOA Participant tested the VMEM Hardmod from the Guide?
It seems like this mod isn't working!
Did you test with both V-switches on?
the VSwitches have just the sense of putting some extra voltage to the GPU, PLL or MEM (0,04V) and on the Hardmod Guide is not written that u should switch on the VMEM Switch for the mod.
The strage think is the removal of the one SMD ... makes no sense for a usual Voltage mod
The guide says you should switch V-switch on for hardware Vcore mod to work, so I assume it's the same for Vmem.
on the VMEM Mod it isn't written so you should not do...
V-Mods usally work like: IC's FB-Pin to GND...
without the Removement of the SMD it makes sense, but this don't makes any sense...
belive me the V Switches just add voltage nothing more, usuall VID change I think.
V Switches adds only +0.05V, i think they are suitable for hard mods
Κabauterman how much VCore Voltage do you need for 1000Mhz on Vantage?
Mine won't do Vantage at 1000 MHz on air no matter what :( about 945 MHz at 1,18 V is the max.
for us sad sacks that have to buy them.. they are in stock for usa buyers.
sorta pricey but i think when more places get them in stock prices will come down....i could not wait any longer me wants to have the power :D

Screw that. I bought an Asus Direct CU II just this morning. I'm tired of waiting on MSI to actually bring this thing to market. I'm sure as hell not paying over a $100 premium through NCIXUS for a card that may or may not be any better than the Asus. MSI needs to pull their heads out of their asses and learn how to execute. :yepp:
I was going to buy a GD80 too just to show MSI some love for supporting benching so much with MOA but I couldn't wait any longer. That's just another example of complete failure on execution. Plus the soft launch on March 25 really burns me up. Nvidia, AMD and intel are in the position of strength. If they want to soft launch an product that's cool. MSI on the other hand is not strong and it totally pisses me off that they soft launched the card. It will probably take a long while to consider buying their products again no matter how good the product is.
newegg has got a good price $529

sry for the price checks in this thread.
Day late and a dollar short.
Don't promo MSI's N580GTX Lightning too much 'cuz only golden samples make the business, and there are many that are not the golden ones. Pity that MSI doesn't pre-test GPUs in any way. :(
So you got a bad sample also, huh? :)
Trust me mate, the Lightning we with my teammate T0lsty currently have is a REAL SHAME for MSI :D
Will share the details later as well as the unusual hardmod that helps to clock RAM on these babes very high despite the GPU clock.
[OFF]p.s. pm me if you are ready to exchange our card & the full mod-guide and some hardware stuff necessary for it for the Lighting card that can run at least droll 1300 MHz GPU :D [/OFF]
I didn't have any problems with RAM at 1300-1350MHz, what problems did you have?
what clocks do you have Matose with LN2?
