OC3D Exclusive Review MSI GTX480 Lightning

About time someone applied this kind of cooling to a 480. Fermi would have a much better name now if this was how it was released.

Really strange to see cool, quiet, and 480 in the same review

I would be curious to see how the Frozr III compares to the Frozr II that MSI already has on a 480 gtx.

Good to see that someone finally tamed the beast of the 480. Sales for that sucker should go up.
 
Couple of questions for you

it looks like its a 2 slot card , can you confirm .

How is the cooling working , are the fans pulling in and venting out the back or is it dumping all the hot air into the case .

Presuming the above is good news , would this be much better or about the same as my current setup of 2*gtx280's in sli .

Thanx .

it will port some out the back but most of it will be in the case

but still cooler than 2 280's
 
is it weird i can listen to another guy talking for 12mins+? lol

luvly looking card their mate, but with the 6000 nearing they probably wont get much of a look in, price depending.

lol I love how people are assuming the 6000 series will destroy the 400 gtx series without so much as seeing a real benchmark or price.
 
From stuff ive seen around and about the 6000's are just rehashes of the 5000's, mabey 5-10% more performance at best, if they were realy hot like the 400 cards and the rehash made them cool for example it woulda made sense but tbh there already cool enough so a rehash seems kinda pointless.

Great thanks for that , thinking i may go for 1 of these but will wait a week or 2 just in case the new Ati's have any suprises ( although i am the same as you in that i mostly bat for team green since the old 6800 days ) , saying that not available yet , any idea when and where ? .
 
Overclocked thats as loud as my two GTX470s at stock clocks while gaming lol. I need to change the coolers on my GPU's to better and quieter coolers. I cant OC my GPU's either because theyre already at 80c and 86C.
