Hello MSi and may I greet you welcome to the best computer forum on the planet.

Why did you guys never do the lightning version of the 780Ti? I think I read somewhere that only 14 cards were made?

Apart from that, MSi is starting to really show their true color with cards that perform extraordinary!

Thanks in advance.

Why do you need a vbios update? Do you experience any issues?
I can check for you if there are any vbios updates available?
Can you tell me your serial number.
(In order to find the correc vbios I need the first part of the serial number. e.g. 602-V298-023......)

In idle my core clock is still high. Around 700 when it should be around 300-400. Also my idle temp is pretty high, around 42-43 degrees when it should be around 30.

Othervise my system is cool.

Thats why I wondered if you guys have a new bios update.

Welcome to the forums!

Now on to my question: Will you ever givve owners of the 780 Lightning any means to control the lightning scheme? It really clashes with everything in the card. It has black, yellow, blue, green and red. The colors are all over the place. So a LED control would be really appreciated.

I agree the idle core clock should be lower. I haven't heard about this issue yet. It could very well be a vbios issue.
In order to check for the latest vbios for your particular graphics card model I need the first part of the serial number. e.g. 602-V298-023......

Unfortunately we cannot comment on why this decision was made by our graphics cards team.

I only got the following statement:

Citat:

MSI has decided not to commercialize the GXT 780Ti LIGHTNING and thus there will be no samples other than those provided to select extreme overclockers and there will be no opportunity to purchase the card.

My GTX 770 wont overclock

i have problem when i tryd to overclock my MSi GEFORCE GTX 770 2gb OC editon. I used MSI afterburner as overclockprogram but when i start it my screen becomes blue so i have to restart my computer, and then i logd in, and at the moment the computer was now working fine but after the clearly windows sound comes up and about 40 sec later the screen become blue again, i try more trimes but the same thing appears everytime. My teori was that the program has a process when the computer starts and that was right. i restart it again and i was trying to be fast in the start so i can uninstall it before the screens will be inpossible to look at, and i did it. Now the computer works fine, and i have remove all files about the program and i try again, reinstallit and open it but same thing happen evergy time. what do i have to do cause i really want to overclock it

Did you set afterburner to load the overclock at Windows startup?
If you did please disable this first. (Overclocking cannot be guarranteed)

If you didn't set any overclock at Windows startup it might be software/driver or even hardware.

First make sure you have the latests Nvidia drivers:
http://www.geforce.com/
and the latest Afterburner:
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/msi-afterburner-beta-down...
And then try again.

You can always check in Windows Event Viewer if it shows the cause of the problems in the Windows Logs.
Simply press WindowsKey+R and type: eventvwr
and press ENTER

You can browse through the logs and might be able to find the root cause.

Software troubleshooting can be tricky (many systems have dozens of programs/services installed which can conflict).
It can be useful to disable any startup programs, then you can find what is conflicting with Afterburner.
In Win8: press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, go to Taskmanager's Startup TAB.
In Win7:press WinKey+R and type msconfig, goto the statup TAB.
Disable everything and test again.
If you cannot find the cause with eventvwro by disabling statup programs and updating the drivers does not help, you might want to do clean windows installation.
Install only the latest drivers and latest afterburner just to find out if it is a software issue or hardware issue (don't install any programs yet).

If a clean windows also crashes it is probably a hardware issue, if not it's a software/installation issue.

I hope this helps you find the cause.

The pictures don't show the problem but if I understand you correctly you are first experiencing artifacts (miscolored stripes and block which shouldn't be there) and then the display goes black.

Does this happen with certain program or games or with all games?
If it runs fine in Windows 2D mode but gives issue in 3D games I think there are three options:
1.) The graphics card is overheating (can easily be measured with a program called GPU-Z).
2.) The power supply unit (PSU) is not powerful enough to supply the graphics card with enough power (you can test this by swapping the PSu with a stronger one)
3.) The graphics card is broken (you can test this by running the graphics card in another system with a powerful PSU).

I hope this helps you find the root cause.

Serial Number: 602-V298-08SB1311030413

BIOS Version: 80.80.21.00.68 (P2083-0021)

Sorry for the late reply (I didn't see you already replied).

The latest vbios I can find for your N780 TF 3GD5/OC graphics card (602-V298-08S) is version 153 (your current version is v152).
You can download the latet version here (it includes the Nvidia flash utility for DOS).

In order to flash the vbios you need to boot to DOS.
1.) The easiest way is to create a DOS bootable USB stick with the tool Rufus (Please select MS-DOS instead of FREEDos)
2.) Extract all files from the above mentioned zip file to the root of the newly created DOS bootable USB stick
3.) Boot from the DOS bootable USB stick and at the command prompt "c:\>" type "nvflash v298n153.rom -4 -5 -6" (without the quotation marks)

Once the Nvidia flash tool has finished, you can reboot and the update is done.

I don't know if this will fix your issue but it's worth a try.

We are checking what we can do for you.
Normally we don't have separate coolers in stock in Europe for replacement, so we are checking what is possible.
If we can get you a replacement cooler I will drop you a Private Message (PM).

Normally if a fan brakes down in warranty the whole graphics card needs to be send in for RMA service and will be repaired in the factory in China, that's why cannot ship any coolers right off the shelf.

In an out-of-warranty situation an after-market vga cooler is always a possibility but it will cost some money.
There are also some creative DIY ideas but usually these are not the prettiest solutions.

P.S.,
Please give us time to find answers to your questions.

P.P.S.,
Please don't quote answers that weren't addressed to you.

Ok sorry. It would be supernice if you could fix it for me! Even if you can't find a similliar fan then you can send me another one with a diffrent port (Or a singel fan) and I can solder it on the cable. Thanks!

For components (motherboard and graphics cards) we don't offer direct repair/RMA service.
For warranty service you need to contact the shop you bought the graphics card from.

I am not an expert in consumer law and definitely not in Sweden but if I understood the Google translation of your article you should complain to the "Seller".

That is the same as what I was saying.
Please contact the shop who sold you the graphics card, they are responsible for warranty service.

No there's not. Reklamation is not the same as warranty. There is no law (in Sweden) that forces manufacturers and/or resellers to offer any kind of warranty.

Links in Swedish
http://www.konsumentverket.se/Lagar--regler/Din-ratt-som-kons...
http://www.konsumentverket.se/mobil/Din-ratt-som-konsument/Ga...

Rough translation of the relevant parts.

"Det är alltid frivilligt för säljaren att lämna garanti."
It is always voluntary for the seller to offer warranty.

"Det finns ingen lag som ger dig rätt till garanti, utan det är upp till säljarna om de vill erbjuda det eller inte."
There is no law which guarantees your right to a warranty, it is up to the sellers if they want to offer it or not.

We have checked with our factory and RMA department in China and I am sorry to inform you but atm it's not possible to supply fans for out of warranty service.

There are some suppliers that offer replacement fans but those are not affiliated with MSI, so we cannot guarantee their quality.
You could search here and here to see if they offer a model that is suitable for you graphics card.
I hope this helps.

P.S.,
For warranty cases, you will need to return the whole graphics card to the shop (returning just the fan isn't enough).
