The graphics card provided to us by MSI belongs to their Lightning series and it is no less than the legendary R7970L. The one that broke and is still breaking all 3D World Records. But here we are going to see what this card is worth under non extreme conditions. If you are familiar with the Lightning series then you already know what to expect about this one. The card comes with an heavily customized PCB and power design, the Twin Frozr IV cooler and a nice factory overclocking.

On the following pages we will show you the strenghts and weaknesses of the MSI Radeon HD 7970 Lightning.
(As several other media used the card before us the graphics card/box and bundle weren't in mint conditions at all. Therefore we didn't take pictures of the actual sample but used the ones available on media.msi.com. The bundle picture comes from Tom's Hardware.co.uk)
