EVGA GTX 580 Classified

[Icekube]

Words cannot describe my thoughts when I saw this the EVGA GTX 580 Classified. This thing must need some amount of juice, 2 x 8 pin and 1 x 6 pin

I've changed my mind I don't want a 580 Lightning any more

Please tell me your getting your hands on 1 of these Tom, if you haven't already

*edit* Looks like they're doing a 570 Classified as well, but don't get too excited it doesn't look like it's worth getting worried about

3 power connectors? Oh dear

Will be interesting to see how this stacks up against the Lightning and Matrix

2 x 8 pin and 1 x 6 pin.... I don't even....

"get sum, get sum, get sum!!!"

 

[jonowee]

That's a crowded PCB; all GPU chokes and capacitors of ASUS Direct CU cards, with all the busy connections of advance memory power delivery of MSI Lightning.

Should interesting how well this stacks up against the MSI.

lol that card could draw up to 450 watts by itself!

That cooler is going to have its work cut out

 

[Lollipop]

I hope they designed the cooler so this card doesn't get compared to an AMD card!

On the link for the 580 there is a picture of what seems to be 4 of them in sli

i don't think theres a single psu powerful enough to power them all plus the rest of you system

this is why you see some cases with dual psu mounts lol one psu for rig and hdd's the other for gpu's only lol

Apparently, the extra 6 pin is for dedicated power to the memory

looks good, too bad Tom probably won't review it since EVGA's a bitch

Btw, am I the only one seing heat/noise issues ?

No one has commented on the fact that it has possibly got to be the ugliest looking cooler in existence

True, but when it's your only seeing the back of the pcb or backplate and top side what does it matter.

 

[Ya93sin]

That's what I hate lawl, some cards have such lovely looking coolers, but unless you have something like the Raven RV-02, where its mounted sideways, you will never see it

 

[wotevajjjj]

you can always buy a case with an inverted motherboard...

Problem is the coolers don't perform as good when they're upside down
