Crysis 3
Crysis 3 (DirectX 11)
Master the power of the Nanosuit. Armor, Speed, Strength and the ability to cloak are the ingredients of the most effective tactical combat armor ever created. Suit up! It's all yours in Crysis 3.
We are really pushing the boundary of performance on these single card configurations, as the R9 290X Lightning was just able to push past the 30 FPS mark in Crysis 3 at 2560×1440 on the Very High quality preset. The GTX 780 Ti stock performance puts it about 10% behind the MSI card.
You will soon incur the wrath
You will soon incur the wrath of the fanboy for pitting a custom card vs reference.
Duck for cover!Nice review, ty
Yeah, it’s an easy knock, but
Yeah, it's an easy knock, but so little of the decision on this card has anything to do with the "stock" performance.
With that kind of noise level
With that kind of noise level despite the massive cooler, it should be able to handle more than +100mv.
Some other reviewers got the memory very high on the Lightning; any luck with that on your card?
Ryan, thoughts on the XFX R9
Ryan, thoughts on the XFX R9 290X DD? for $4** on TD this makes choosing the MSI pretty difficult. Although slightly slower, the price difference makes it very appealing! The 780Ti is definitely out of the picture until a price drop happens.
You should ask for a new bios
You should ask for a new bios from msi. You cant control fan speed with 14.x drivers and that affects overclocking because all amd gpus are temp limited.
Well something is missing so
Well something is missing so I’ll fill this in. Bla bla bla fanboy, bla bla bla nvidia, durka durka AMD. Yackety yakety Iris pro, schmackity rakety you are all fools, clearly bla bla bla is better, and yada yada is shit!
There, now it feels like a video card review comments section.
Also, nice review, outa my price range but sooooo pretty.

the slider in afterburner
the slider in afterburner must go to +200 with the lightning not only the +100!
-> unlock voltage control -> extended MSI not only standard MSI!
and memory OC must min. go to 1500Mhz with default voltage
