THE FASTEST SINGLE GPU ON THE MARKET: GEFORCE GTX680
With the power and efficiency of the Kepler architecture, the GeForce GTX680 Lightning from MSI is the fastest single GPU video card on the market.
Featuring a staggering 1536 CUDA cores clocked at 1110MHz and featuring innovative GPU Boost technology, the GTX680 Lightning allows for immersive NVIDIA Surround gaming via 3 monitors from a single card.
The newest FXAA and TXAA technologies as well as Adaptive V-Sync provide a fluid, smooth, and visually-rich gaming environment.
TWIN FROZR IV THERMAL SOLUTION WITH DUST REMOVAL TECHNOLOGY
The GTX680 Lightning features the industry-leading Twin Frozr IV thermal design.
With 8mm SuperPipes soldered to an all-copper, nickle-plated base, twin 100mm Propeller Blade fans, and a high density heat fin stack, the GTX680 Lightning is up to 16C cooler than a competing design.
It also features Dust Removal Technology, which spins the fans in full reverse for 30 seconds at system start to minimize dust buildup and ensure optimal thermal performance.
The GTX680 Lightning also features two full-length heatsinks that cover the front and rear of the PCB, cooling and protecting critical components on the graphics card while preventing PCB flex.
ENHANCED POWER DESIGN WITH INDUSTRY-FIRST GPU REACTOR
The GTX680 Lightning features a robust 12-phase PWM design that delivers twice as much current to the GPU versus the reference design for maximum performance and stability.
This enhanced design features independent power for the memory modules, as well as the Lightning Power Layer (LPL) with a 9-layer PCB design for maximum power delivery and stability.
Also, the industry-first GPU reactor acts as a power conditioner for the GPU, eliminating ripple and provides a higher power volume for the graphics chip.
The removable design allows a two-slot design for normal air cooling, and a 3-slot design for maximum single-card overclocking.
CERTIFIED MILITARY CLASS III COMPONENTS
MSI's Military Class III components meet a more stringent testing standard than industry-wide electronic components.
Utilizing the US DoD MIL-STD-810G testing protocol, Military Class III components are rated to run under the most strenuous conditions to meet the highest levels of performance.
These components include: CopperMOS -- Copper MOSFET design that reduces operating temperatures and doubles the current capacity output Hi-C CAP -- Low profile tantalum core capacitors, more than 10 times the lifespan of traditional capacitors with 15 times less power leakage Golden Solid State Choke (Golden SSC) -- Pure iron core choke with high working currrent and gold coating, designed for overclocking Dark Solid CAP -- Nickle-plated cover for longer endurance, up to 10 years lifespan under full electrical loads
AFTERBURNER OVERCLOCKING SOFTWARE SUITE
With MSI's proprietary Afterburner overclocking software suite, you can do it all on your GTX680 Lightning. Afterburner allows adjustment of Power Limit, GPU clock offset,
memory frequencies, and provides real-time monitoring of GPU load, frequencies, voltages, temperatures, and much more.
The Afterburner software also provides users the ability to monitor and set your own fan speed profiles, so performance can be customized based on your system needs.
MSI Afterburner also has built-in video capture and screenshot functions, as well as a mobile app for the iOS/Android platforms with remote monitoring capabilities.
