MSI’s TwinFrozr Gaming series of graphics cards are becoming hugely popular among gamers – and rightly so. MSI offer the same high end dual 100mm fan TwinFrozr IV cooling solution on all the Gaming series graphics cards, even the more affordable GPUs. The TwinFrozr IV runs cool, deadly quiet and gives you bags of overclocking potential, as well as looking down-right awesome. Today we have a graphics card that will sell like Lightning (MSI branding pun intended), equipping AMD’s sweet-spot R9 270 GPU, which is essentially a underclocked R9 270X, MSI’s R9 270 TwinFrozr Gaming looks set to be a winner among gamers. It offers a super-attractive price point, great looking custom cooler and a factory overclock of 50MHz on the GPU core. The 2GB of memory is kept at the default 1400MHz/5600MHz effective reference clock speed.
Today AMD is launching yet another graphics card, the AMD Radeon R9 270, which theoretically could be called the successor to the HD 7850 or the HD 7870. Spec-wise, the R9 270 looks very, very good. Whereas the HD 7850 was a logical step down from the HD 7870, the R9 270 on the other hand doesn’t seem like much of a step down from the...
Overclocking the MSI R7970 Lighting was a blast and the fact that we could take it from 1070 MHz on the core all the way up to 1275 MHz was impressive. AMD released the Radeon HD 7970 with a 925 MHz core clock, so this is a 350 MHz overclock on the core! This card was really fun to overclock on air, so we can only imagine what those with LN2 pots will be able to hit...
In the last month AMD’s partners have been unveiling their custom cooled graphics cards and we have already reviewed the latest Dual X HD7970 Overclock Edition from Sapphire and the HD7970 X Edition from VTX3D. Today we are looking at MSI’s flagship R7970 Lightning with custom twin fan cooler and proprietary PCB design.
It's too bad that the Boost Edition doesn't overclock better than last year’s Lightning with its standard cooler despite the different chip. The limit is again 1240 MHz for the GPU and 1780 MHz for the memory. ASUS proved with the Matrix HD7970 Platinum that a more heavy-duty cooler and a few other tricks can take it further. If you plan on overclocking with just the standard cooler, then that Matrix HD7970 Platinum is a better choice in our opinion, and both cards cost about the same.
With the arrival of a new high-end GPU, hardware enthusiasts immediately look forward to a MSI Lightning graphics card based on the new chip. That card, the R7970 Lightning, has been on the market for a couple of months now. Last week the manufacturer launched a Hawk version of the Radeon HD 7870. Hardware.Info tested and overclocked both video cards.
Today we have the most extreme 7970 we have received yet, the MSI Radeon 7970 Lightning. On paper MSI have taken this GPU to a whole new level with extra PCB's, voltage read points, power phases and top of the line components so we are going to do the same. Rather than bench the card at its impressive factory overclock we are taking it to the limit, its maximum stable overclock to see how it compares to the reference design as well as an overclocked, 3GB GTX 580.
Today we are looking at the latest graphics card from MSI which uses the excellent 3rd generation Twin Frozr cooler. MSI are supplying their R7950 card with a core clock boost and it is said to run much quieter and cooler than the AMD reference card. We will test these claims today and see how the card slots into the marketplace.
In the enthusiast hardware world you will find that just about every component you can buy has been customized to a certain degree. These customizations could be minor like a new heatsink design or something major to enhance power delivery and overclocking. These changes define what an enthusiast product is and can often influence how is used.
AMDs Radeon-HD-7790-Vorstellung konnte im Bereich Preis-/Leistung durchaus gefallen. Nun haben wir das nächste Partnerprodukt im Labor. Die MSI R7790 OC-Edition möchte die Interessenten ebenfalls durch höhere Taktraten und gute Preise zum Kauf überzeugen. Was das MSI-Produkt in der Praxis zu bieten hat, klärt unser heutiger Test.
