Introduction

MSI Logo


MSI's Lightning Series of graphics card started with the N260GTX Lightning that built on a redesigned PCB with better components, custom cooling solution, overclocking software bundle and military theme.

The second Lightning card is the N275GTX Lightning 1792 MB that we have on our testbench today. It features a new Twin Frozr II cooler which uses two 80 mm fans and five heatipes. The memory size has also been doubled compared to the normal GTX 275. This being an overclocker card it is to be expected that it doesn't come at stock clocks. The new clock speeds are 700 / 1150 / 1404.

What makes this card very interesting is that it comes at an agressive price of USD 306 as well - other manufacturers charge premium for even the slightest overclocking features.
