Excerpt from article:

The GTX 580 may be priced beyond most people’s budgets, but for all intents and purposes it has been selling quite well due to a resurgent interest in current and future DX11 titles. NVIDIA’s partners have also recently jumped on the bandwagon by introducing their own versions with custom designs and higher than reference clock speeds. ASUS is currently selling the DirectCu edition while their Matrix branded card will soon be available and Gigabyte’s Super Overclock is slowly becoming available at more retailers. The subject of this review however is MSI’s eagerly anticipated Lightning-branded GTX 580 that packs an absolute ton of features.

In our opinion, the MSI GTX 580 Lightning is currently one of the best graphics cards we have come across in the last year. It offers a wealth of features which are headlined by awe inspiriting cooling performance, good in-game framerate increases and overclocking abilities to drool over while retailing for a mere $25 more than a reference GTX 580. That’s a recipe for success no matter which way you look at things.
