Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new MSI GTX 680 Lightning graphics card

MSI’s Lightning series is well known and highly respected among enthusiast circles and it didn’t takelong to port this design philosophy into GTX 680 form. The resulting GTX 680 Lightning is one of the market’s premier single GPU graphics cards and follows in the footsteps of its predecessors by promising extremely high overclocking limits.

While the race to produce the fastest Kepler-based card may be just starting to heat up, MSI is betting the GTX 680 Lightning will stand the test of time against the competition. It features exclusive technologies like Triple Overvoltage, a Military Class component selection and one of the quietest high performance gaming experiences available. As you may expect, this kind of technology doesn’t come cheap and the Lightning edition just so happens to be one of the most expensive GTX 680s on the market at a staggering $599. MSI has recently softened the financial blow by adding a download code for NBA 2K12 but we doubt a $29.99 game will make anyone feel better about putting $600 towards any product.
