I have recently been lucky enough to become an owner of this mighty fallen king . The specific model is MSI Lightning 980ti LE .
With very limited time that i got , i did some testing and quick overclocking with this.
I would like to share my experiences and benchmark results here mainly @over clocked.
Back in their days , these beasts were released with very conservative clock speeds with a boost clock ranging from 1100mhz to 1200mhz, with a view to not disrupting their titan sales.
An average 980ti would overclock to 1450 - 1510mhz @core pretty easily.
So, from my point of view, it would be quite unfair to judge this card with their stock settings.
SPECS:
• Asus Rampage IV BE with Xeon E5 1650v2 @4.2ghz
• 2X8 GB DDR3 Ram @ 2133mhz 11-13-13-37-2T
• SSD Crucial MX500 500GB where the OS and tested game are installed.
• GTX 980TI MSI Lightning LE Core @1499MHz VRam @4001mhz (hynix)

For comparison i will provide data from youtube running gtx1080 @stock same settings with ryzen 1700x

Most taxing area fps was around 26fps
I will try to keep the thread updated. Now on mobile data with limited data left. So, extremely sorry for not being able to provide any images or links which might be relevant.
But, a request to all members. Could u guys run the test with same settings and post results here plz.
