Beyond the Limits: MSI N275GTX Lightning Edition breaks 3DMark Vantage world records of GTX285!
MSI
The world well-known graphics card and mainboard manufacturer,
MSI, have
already officially announced the top-of-the-range
Lightning series
graphics card, N275GTX Lightning. The MSI N260GTX Lightning
that was
released in April has broken the world record by reaching incredible
1.1GHz GPU
clock that no other GTX 260 cards can exceed. After N260GTX Lightning,
MSI
introduced the new N275GTX Lightning with Military Class components, 10
phase
PWM, 1792MB GDDR3 memory, Twin Frozr II thermal design with SuperPipe
technology,
and several overclocking functions. The performance of MSI N275GTX
Lightning is
even faster than reference GeForce GTX 285 graphics cards, which prove
its
perfect design and best quality.
N275
Lightning breaks N285GTX Vantage World record
World famous mainboard and
graphics card producer, MSI, once again has shown head-turning
performance!
During MSI-sponsored MOA 2009 overclocking event, 10 teams used MSI
N275GTX
Lightning graphics card and Eclipse mainboard to achieve higher 3DMark
Vantage
P score than current P16923 world record of the flagship GeForce GTX
285.
George Pavlidis and Stelaras from Greece even achieved an outstanding
P18763
score, making the MSI N275GTX Lightning the fastest
single-GPU graphics card in the world!
Lightning
Performance
All of the contestants gave the
N275GTX Lightning a great rating - especially the power supply design,
thermal
design, Military Class components, and overclocking capabilities. The
contestants where able to run all the N275GTX Lightning at a stable
-100°C and
over 1GHz - the kind of performance usually only achieved by one in ten
thousand cards!
Military
Class Performance
The outstanding performance of MSI
N275GTX Lightning is directly related to the components used to build
this
graphical beauty. All the Military Class components comply with US
Department of Defense
MIL-PRF-39003L operating temperature standard,
and are used by
NASA satellites and shuttles. Highest grade Hi-CAP capacitors, all
Solid State
Choke design increase stability and lifespan, as well as eliminate
high-frequency noise when running a high voltage through the card. A
redesigned
10-phase PWM allows the GPU and RAM to receive an even higher power
supply
quality. Additionally, this card makes use of the unique Twin Frozr II
thermal
design that uses two fans and extra thick 8mm SuperPipe to quickly and
quietly
dissipate heat. V-Check Point allows users to quickly check the GPU and
RAM
voltage, and it is easy to see why this card received the praise from
the
overclocking masters at MOA.
Beyond
the Limits
MSI N275GTX Lightning graphics
card, through Military Class components, low-temp, low-noise, and
high-performance designs, displays truly outstanding construction
– a
construction that succeeded in breaking world record ten times at MOA
2009, and
redefined peak performance for a single-GPU graphics card!
