History of 780Ti Lightning MOA cards?

Hi all!

 

Yeah, so basically, how many times were these cards used on competitions, how many were made in total? What I heard is there were 200 made, at least 50 dead, and used on MOA 2014 and I remember I even asked Trouffman earlier this year on an "I forgot which" live stream, prolly MOA 2016, where they were used again with some silly little TFII/Gaming coolers??

 

Where did all the samples left alive go to? Is it allowed to sell/buy these cards and if yes, anyone knows where/how I could get hold of one working (could buy 2 dead, too high risk to try and repair those)?

 

Any info is welcome, chime in everybody. :)

20+ for the last MOA live final held in Taipei (October 2014?), 10+ used for HOT finals in December, 2015. The first batch did not include an air cooler, the HOT final cards had a generic, but servicable air cooler included.

What is so special about these cards :D ? You should ask Xtreme Addict about his experience with it,he will write you down a Potato Story like never told before :D

 

DrWeez's card from HOT finals did 1800+ core on <1.4V (we were limited by the PSU) I would say that is pretty special :D

Thanks all for the infos!

 

Nedelcu: Just what Gunny said+I simply am in love with the design. Enormous PCB, many phases, it is the tallest card I know... I love MSI cards in general and big ones for sure. 480 Lightning, 580 Classified and Lightning, etc. All Lightnings and Classifieds from the nv side.

If I could get one, it would be a decent daily alternative+ later on would get proper LN2 treatment for sure.
