OC3D Review MSI GTX580 Lightning

[PCTwin]

Awesome review, Tom.

Have these dip switches on the card really taken away the need to volt mod.

Nice

Can some one tell me how the SLI would work on this card because there seems to be no room where the SLI connectors are. I mean it would be fine for the bottom card but the top card would have heatsink in the way. What gives

I think the extra piece of black metal running above the sli fingers looks like it's for support, and there looks to be a big enough gap to run the sli bridge though, but I'm buggered if I know how you' fit a 3 way sli bridge as they're usually pretty rigid

will the warranty be voided on this card if it is overvolted/oced?

lol

 

[coolgame]

manufacturers do give away many surprises with gpus.like the gainward gtx 570 phantom that tom reviewed had a superb cooler but no voltage mods.if u did the warranty is voided.it is funny but still cant help asking

We finally get our hands on MSIs long awaited Lightning version of the already brilliant GTX580. Was it worth the wait?

What language are you typing there? I dont understand what you are trying to say and I am sure the reviewers dont have a clue either.

What language are you typing there? I dont understand what you are trying to say and I am sure the reviewers dont have a clue either.

Here's what I think he said.

"When will you learn to disable PPU (Nvidia Physx) on 3D Mark Vantage. People, please make real tests. I'll love to get at least GTX580 Lightnings in SLI. I haven't seen any SLI tests for GTX 580 Lightning Yet."

I don't think English is his first language.

I don't mind the common spelling and punctuation mistakes; but honestly, ppl shd lrn to plz stp usn' shit like that. Even I don't do that for SMSs or tweets; it just smells lazy all over, or some fanboy wanting to troll anonymously.

Any word on release date?

 

[Grizzly]

Overclockers have it listed to be released on the 31st, today.

 

[neliz]

I want this card

Shame there is no gtx570 like this one.

Well Actually .. there is a N570GTX Power Edition.. also sporting the Twin Frozr III cooler.

 

[steve30x]

It would be nice to be able to buy that cooler seperatly.

Damit now what do I do. I bought the 480 lightning after your last review and while I loved at first the 580s started to role out a month later!

Thinking of getting 580 lightning and selling my 480; there is not a 680 coming out next month is there?

I'm hoping to get 1GHz stable on water. Could only get 960 with my 480.

Loving the site BTW & the video reviews you have the best job in the world! Keep up the good work!

 

[the cod god]

i love the way you could buy a 6990 for only £50 more than this card

 

[S1EJ0]

Or get 2x 6950/70s in CF which would be the better option performance wise.
