MSI GTX 770 Lightning 2 GB @ techPowerUp

Most people in the know will think the following quote might be a bit of an overstatement considering that the GTX 770 Lighting is using the same PCB as the GTX 680 but, then again, that isn't common knowledge either.

MSI's GeForce GTX 770 Lightning uses a completely re-engineered PCB design with a large dual-fan cooler. The card is also overclocked out of the box, which gives it an extra performance advantage.

When it comes to custom video cards that you can buy in the US there are basically three companies you can choose from.  MSI, EVGA and Asus.  MSI is by far the most popular with the Lightning edition and happens to be the only card you want to use in the MOA.  EVGA has been making good headway to become one of the premiere go to partners with their Classified edition cards.  Asus on the other hand doesn't market in the US all that often so it's hard to know if their stuff is all that good or just an understated overachiever.
