Great card with OC and WC potential

review by asuperpower

Other than the fact that the processors aren't cherry picked, that there are no more than two displays that can be plugged in to the card and there is a lack of VRAM, this is an excellent card.

Firstly, it's quick and I could run Battlefield maxed out at a 1600x900 resolution. Now with my new catleap, it can handle anything except for BF3 maxed out at a 2560x1440 resolution. Secondly, the cooling is great. It exceeded my expectations. The triple slot cooling works so well - to the point where I decided not going for water cooling because it's that good. Thirdly, it's very overclockable. Despite the bad OC interface for the software that comes with it, it overclocks LIKE A BOSS. It even allows plenty of VRM's for those who want to water cool. (Watch out however, as because it's not reference, you need an EK FC580DCII or FC580-DCUII custom waterblock.)

With the addition of more VRAM and cherry picked processors, this would be the perfect card.

ProsCons
Quick, Very overclockable and Great coolingThe processors aren't cherry picked, doesn't allow more than two displays, has a slight lack of VRAM - As with many nvidia cards.
