A thread dedicated to Discussion, Problems, News and OC stuff around MSI RTX 2080 Ti Lightning. Will be updated constantly.// Info about MSI RTX 2080 Ti Lightning // - Uses custom PCB (3x 8Pin), basically reference but with digital ICs : 8-Phase MP2888 and MP2884. Can handle up to 700A on LN2- Samsung GDDR6 instead of Micron, clocks better with also improved timings (depends on used BIOS)- Beefy cooling solution, though I recommend using watercooling as Turing full boost is under 60C.- Stock LN2 bios allows voltage change for vMem (memory voltage) and AUXs voltages (PLLs) those two are not necessary unless on LN2.- Max power limit is set to 380W with 108% set in Afterburner its 400W max, NDA LN2 bios is fully unlocked with up to 1000W power limit. Also Core Voltage is unlocked (Custom Afterburner (ABX) needed!!!)XOC Guide : HERE : Issues :MSI card somehow is scanning everything on PCB, checking for "dead" voltages or malfunctions and if it detects something like an unplugged fan (my case because I'm on waterblock) it goes into safe mode.Please use this BIOS to fix this : https://www.dropbox.com/s/8s0vewi7gg...RF_Ln2.7z?dl=0Few words from me :1) If u want higher power limit or LN2 NDA bios with ABX don't bother unless you're LN2 overclocker, it's extremely hard to get hold of this, also u will need Guide from MSI for HW mods which are needed in order to unlock card.2) There is a work-around for power limit, you will need to flash BIOS with high-power limit - Galax OC Lab 2000W works fine with card, Core voltage is up to 1.2V.-- If you want to ask or discuss, please comment below this thread, thanks for reading and lets all have fun with this card ! --

EXPERIMENTAL! The purpose of this is testing and experimentation only.Also, ensure you have proper cooling (chiller or good water-cooling or even subzero)Desc: This "mod" will unlock voltage control on MP2888A based card with digital voltage: 2080Ti Lightning. Core voltage will be unlocked also power limit, so be very careful what you're doing, I haven't tested this on retail card, my Lightning has NDA hardmods so test this yourself properly with caution.STEPS :1) Download XOC Pack that is here in attachments.2) Flash bios "kp.rom" to your card ("kp.rom" bios is Kingpin XOC bios with no overcurrent, overvoltage and overheating protection, be aware ! Fans are spinning 100% all the time for safety)3) After flashing bios and restarting PC, place file "MSIAfterburner.oem2" into your MSI Afterburner folder on your hard disk (C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner).4 ) Go to your Afterburner settings and set "Unlock voltage control" to "third party". Other settings are in the screenshot in attachments.5) Restart afterburner and enjoy voltage control, however, please check your temps and voltage through probes placed on side of the card with a multimeter, the +mv value is not correct, u have to try how much it adds actually.PLEASE: after doing this let me know how to mod works because I didn't test it on retail cards yet, thanks and enjoy.

Hey guys, gonna have to let my trusty 1080Ti Lightning go. The card comes from BenchBros in Germany and was benched on LN2 with black electrical tape insulation once - in SLI with another card. It did around 2.4GHz iirc. But for the past year, it ran in my gaming PC on watercooling flawlessly. (Mostly ran on 2012MHz@0,975V or around that mark, but you can crank it up past 2,1GHz if you really want. Memory speeds on these Lightnings are also really amazing, I can easily run +500 24/7 and I think I stopped trying on +700 or so.) --> New OC results below. It really just was my daily driver and I never benched it. Insulation and shunt mod are still on the card if someone wants to do LN2 again. I retested it on water and the card runs 2152/1600+ through FSX (that's +850 Mem). FSU works as well, but it downclocks due to power target there. Mem not pushed further. Runs: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/18761479, https://www.3dmark.com/fs/18761528 Comes with all original accessories, packaging and cooler, like a retail card, but without warranty obviously. Pics: https://abload.de/gallery.php?key=cPrENxq7 Price: 740€ 720€ 700€ Alibi pic with username and date (excuse the dustyness). I usually have two 120mm fans on the card to keep the mems nice and cool, too. I'm also selling (officially now :D) my two GTX580 Classified Hydros. I originally bought them as a collectors item and they were never benched or even used in the last 2-3 years. I tested them once in SLI and that was about it. I cleaned them, restored them and they're good to go. Both do around 1015/2030/1150 in FSX on stock voltages (voltage tool doesn't work on Win10 for me). That's 1.175V and 1.15V respectively. ASIC's are 72,9% and 85,1%. Both have the Ultra BIOS with 900/1800/1053MHz default clocks on them. Price: 100€/card Also selling my GTX580 Lightning XE. I haven't retested it yet but it needed even less voltage for 1GHz than the Classys if I recall correctly. Worked 100% last time I tested it and also runs well in Triple SLI with the Classys. On 900MHz core in Triple SLI I had a power draw of around 1150W though, so be sure your PSU can handle it before you go to town Price: 75€ All sold to Gawl86. I ship from Germany with DHL. Shipping prices within Germany are 7€ and around 15-20€ in Europe. I would prefer to sell these cards inside of the EU so both parties don't have to deal with import taxes, customs, fees etc. PayPal fees are bad enough, an international buyer would have to overpay around 8-10% only for me to get the full money on my end.

2 non working cards : 1) 5870 lightning 2) 6970 lightning Bought them from eBay but they are refuse to boot. price : 30$+shipping together

Hi guys, I got the 2080Ti lighting and i need (probably) "true" LN2 bios + Afterburner Extreme, where and how can i get those ? if someone has them can u share ? thanks.
