MSI 480 GTX Lightning.
Cherry picked GPU's mate. Its not proper, its practically gone through xfactor selection.
MSI 480 GTX Lightning.
I notice not the whole range are out as yet. There should be some oc models from a few manufacturers, anything up to 850mhz, which I'd expect to be initially well over $600. Using the same cooling methods iirc.

MSI 480 GTX Lightning.
The only factory Overclocked card ATM is
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Superclocked Fermi 797MHZ
whoa, long time no see Rasta. Im a happy man I won £50.![]()

28157 P-Score for the overclocked Lightning is exactly what the GTX480 should have been when it was first released.
In fact if there is one overriding impression we've had from the MSI N480GTX Lightning it's this :
nVidia, What the hell were you doing??
i think there is 3 OC versions out
Has any one found any reviews where they were able to be clocked higher?
What are these cards? 6 series Radeons?That is soooo lame. 27 mhz... ROFL. I wonder if it's this throttling thing? In which case that will be all you'll get. Has any one found any reviews where they were able to be clocked higher?![]()
i still think 2 1gb 460's would be on par with this 580 and cheaper
Yup.. Just finished reading Hardware Canucks review and they say that the card didn't go over 70 degrees full load while folding.
Also for the overclock they hit ummm *checks*
Core Speed: 902Mhz
Processor Clock: 1804Mhz
Memory Speed: 4408Mhz (QDR)
Should power levels exceed spec, the GPU throttles performance. More on this once we get to power testing.
Notice that the GeForce GTX 580 isn’t even represented. The protection circuitry that Nvidia added prevents the card from running FurMark without throttling down. So, the maximum power shown appears to be lower than the GTX 470, though that’s clearly not realistic. AMD and Nvidia have long despised FurMark for its ability to inflate consumption figures, and now it looks like they're finally going to get to see it phased out.
Doesnt the lightning still have some of its hardware locked?
Cooler wise it seems to be spot on but the 580 has all of its architecture unlocked.
