Just got my 780 lightning in the mail yesterday and I'm super pumped!
Having a problem though. Even though I have skynet's flashed bios and my power limit set to 287% my power limit never goes above 97%. I feel like it's really holding me back and I don't know what's causing it.
I have a Seasonic x1050 gold psu and I couldn't imagine that being the issue. Also an i7 950 on an EVGA x58 mobo.
I've gotten it to run stable at 1240/+300 @1.21v but I just know it can do more, it maxes out at 67C.
Any ideas?

is your 780 lightning solved the problem?
im waiting for newegg to re-stock the 780 lightning........
BTW: on your card you can flip a switch and goto the other default bios...I have the same switch on my 7970 lightning
It's discontinued so GL with that Bro.
I had the dis pleasure of buying mine when they first dropped for $750 then watching them drop to $550 a short time after.
The reason why is as follows: You have to open up afterburner and go to: Settings->General and under Compatibility properties there is a drop down selection at default that says "standard MSI" change it to Extended MSI.
Picked up one of these on eBay for around $500...has to be the best value in gaming right now if you want high-end, designed for OC...such a fun card. Just been playing with it today and it's boosting to 1280 MHz stable. A1 chip with Elpida, 88.9% ASIC quality. If I go any higher on the core than +150 I get crashes. No matter what voltage I toss at it. Funny enough, with no added voltage it OCs better. Just using the "standard" BIOS right now. Would LN2 BIOS help as I toss more volts at this?
is the MSI 780 Lightning card still in production?...I don't see it available on Newegg or Amazon...what's the deal?
From what I understand you cannot get them anymore in NA market. I think in Europe you still can?
wow...why would they stop production in NA for?...it was one of the top 780 cards
I wish I had known this before I went ahead and upgraded my full system. I had a keplerdynamic bracket (which is basically the NZXT without the ridiculous fan shroud) for a few days before deciding to go full water block. Bought a bunch of custom gear and hundreds of dollars later I read on the forums that the 780 VRMs don't even get that hot to worry too much about active cooling anyway :|Just wanted to let you all know, if you don't want to go full water cooling on these cards, you don't have to in order to push the voltage past 1.3v. I have a NZXT G10 bracket with a TT AIO and it can handle a monster overclock. 1502MHz BF4 stable - 1450MHz for all other games.

Probably to make more money selling the 780ti lightning.
Which is sad because the 780 lightning was 1 badass card.
Didn't Nvidia slap MSI's wrist though over trying to release a Lightning 780 Ti variant?
This is randomly back in stock at NewEgg brand new. Tempted to pick up another one. Love this card.
just got email alerted at newegg, just ordered mine, hurry up they are almost out again.......N780 msi lightning
do you think these newer ones might be a newer version possibly ??
Holy shit balls man. 1502 stable? Whats your +MV?
Might have to try a lil higher myself. 1502 is amazing!
I canceled my order. I need to cut back not add more.
I am sure they are B1 - which means less power and cooler...so win win no matter what. Mine is an A1 and it's still great. Awesome cards.

how does this compare to the eVGA Classified in terms of real world performance?
