MSI GTX 780 OC Review

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

We are going to take a look at the MSI GTX 780 OC Twin Frozr IV  (N780 TF 3GD5/OC)

The first thing you will notice once you open the box the Card is very light and not very bulky but yet the temperatures stay nice a cool even after countless hours of Gaming and Benchmarking.

For The MSI GTX 780 OC Temp’s I give it a 5/5
