MSI GTX 580 Lightning

[Icekube]

So all the current hype is all about the AMD 6990 and the upcomming Nvidia GTX 590.

But I found this wee article about MSI's newest edition to their line up, the MSI GTX 580 Lightning which is using the Twin Frozr III cooler, and it's reported to be coming out anytime in the next few months. Now if my memory serves me right, I'm pretty sure Tom did a review on the 480 Lightning near the end of the GTX 480's life span, and Tom raved about how good it was.

So if the 590 isn't as good as some had hoped and the 6990 isn't your thing, maybe this is one to consider?

The memory on this is reported to be powered from the PCIE cables and not the main slot, meant to make a big difference to overclocking *they say*

Right now I'd give my eye teeth for something like that (well.............maybe a molar or two)
