MSI har haft stor succes med deres Lightning grafikkort. MSI GeForce GTX 480 Lightning versionen bliver her testet hos TweakTown, der også har serien blandt sine favoritter.

The Lightning series is one of my favorite series on the market and the main reason for that is because they’re more than just a card that carries a good overclock or has the ability to achieve a good one. MSI go back to the drawing board and make sure the card stands out from anything else on the market.

We saw Galaxy strap a massive cooler on the card which made it an absolute beast; GIGABYTE has brought it into its SOC series and today MSI are bringing the card into the Lightning series. It looks like an absolute beast; that much I can tell you. But how does it go once we slide it into our testbed and use our favorite overclocking software from MSI?
