MSI R5870 Lightning Review

Even though the MSI Lightning is supplied pre-overclocked we always like to see how far we can push the technology. This card is built for overclocking from the ground up so we have high hopes we will see decent headroom.

Impressed? Yeah, I thought you might be.

Let us have a look at how these overclocks affect performance in a few games.

Thanks to a 110mhz increase on the core as well as a staggering 265mhz increase with the memory these figures are literally through the roof. 6fps gained in the demanding Aliens V Predator and 8fps with Far Cry 2 at 2560×1600. Wozzers.
