MSI N580GTX [GTX 580] Twin Frozr II OC Unboxing

Unboxing this brand new GTX 580's from MSI. Were very hard to get a hold of, I had to email PC Case Gear asking them to get them in for me. The next day I was emailed back saying they have three coming in that day and I bought these two on the spot.

Have yet to install either of them so can't comment on temps right now but will be popping one in later today.

Any questions feel free to ask!

@transformersfan18 Very nice!

I'm using the 470 atm, pretty sure ill follow your lead and try and track down a pair of these too. still a good choice? also, just curious, what's the rest of your setup like?

[3Z3K13L08]

@spriteBoat I was going to go X79 with a 3930K but seeing as single->quad performance is still on par with the 2600K, the far higher price can't be justified. I don't need 6 cores and I plan on jumping to Ivy Bridge next year, so it was Z68 for me. I know people are raving on about X79 but unless you use 6 cores every day and not just for a video render here and there, it's definitely not worth the cost. Hope I didn't bore you! xD

@3Z3K13L08 haha its cool, im still trying to figure all this stuff out atm, gonna go all out for my next upgrade ;) yeh i get what u mean, in bf3 looking at the sun is more disorienting than looking at the real sun. but i still like it looking nice and pretty

@spriteBoat I play BF3 too, but I play it on Low. I find with everything on Ultra, it's too detracting. Enemies are actually harder to see, not kidding you :).

@3Z3K13L08 dammit i cant keep up with these things. ok i'm really glad you mentioned the heat because i dont even have the back on my case just so the propellors on the fans don't fall off. yea that's a gamer's rig alright. bf3's my vice at the moment and i'd love to be able to run it at it's full potential. thanks for that

@spriteBoat Oh boy, it has changed so much since making this video! The temps on these cards in my case were rather bad (Lian Li PC-A77, full tower). I'm ro believe they are much better in a mid tower case with better airflow. I sold these two to a friend and picked up a pair of EVGA stock GTX 580's which actually run cooler. I am currently running a Rampage II Black Edition and an i7 960 @ 4.0 GHz. I have just bought a 2600K and Asus Maximus IV Extreme Z as I game quite a lot.

@vexen999 Yet you claimed "it's a fact that Metro 2033 runs better on single GPU than CFX or SLI. one GTX 580 OC'd is sufficient.". Why claim lies to be true and then question me when I had proof I was right? I just don't get your motives.

[vexen999]

@3Z3K13L08 okay hereby I admit my wrong. :)
