MSI GTX580 Lightning Review
10.07by Tom Logan
Marketing is always full of semantics. Companies love to proclaim their card as the 'Fastest in the World'. Sometimes that's true only because there is more than one GPU on the board. So the HD6990 is the Fastest Graphics Card in the World, but not the fastest single GPU.
For those of us in the know, we always respect being able to do the most with the least, which is why the GTX580, the "Fastest Single GPU in the World" always makes us smile and drool, in equal quantities. Anyone can be super-fast with a multi-card setup. To have crushing performance from a single chip, that's something special.
In case the standard GTX580 isn't quite enough for you though you might look to a pre-overclocked model. If you've been around OC3D for a little bit you know how highly we rate the Twin Frozr cooling solution from MSI and here we have a Twin Frozr equipped, pre-overclocked model in the form of the MSI GTX580 Lightning.
Seems like a perfect combination. Is it?

CeBIT 2011 in Hannover, Germany MSI Showcases Big Bang Series, Military Class II and OC Genie II
09.26Extreme Performance – Big Bang Marshal (B3)
The Big Bang-Marshal (B3) enthusiast mainboard, which made its debut at CES 2011, used its complete expandability, excellent performance and extreme features to attract the attention of many users and media but did not showcase all the details. During this year's CeBIT2011, the Big Bang-Marshal (B3) will be completed unraveled for consumers. MSI's newest flagship product, the Big Bang-Marshal (B3), not only uses MSI's newest quality standard – built with second generation military standard materials and parts – it also supports the industry's maximum 8 slots PCI-E 2.0x16 design, and is equipped with Creative's top-class X-Fi MB2 sound field enhancement technology. It can simultaneously take care of the three most important elements that gamers and power users care most about: system stability, graphics performance and audio experience.
Overclockers also get the best feature set to push their system to the limit: a 24-phase DrMOS power design, dual 8-PIN CPU power supply, a 6-PIN VGA power supply design -- all which can steadily provide power when overclocking the CPU and mainboard, achieving optimal performance.
Military Class II Components – Top Quality and Stability
MSI's widely appraised first generation military standard -- an effort to provide consumers with better product quality and stability – was a huge success and provided a great platform to build your PC system. Now, MSI has improved to a second generation military standard materials and parts for Intel's newest P67/H67 series. It features the Hi-c CAP for 8 times the lifespan of an ordinary solid capacitor, over 30% more power efficiency increase with the super ferrite choke (SFC), and a solid CAP with over 10 years of lifespan, combining to provide the best build quality and design for longer lasting products.
OC Genie II – Overclock with the Push of a Button
In addition to quality and stability, in this exhibition MSI will display its second generation OC Genie II overclocking technology. Getting a system boost has never been so easy! The functional activation allows activation from buttons on the mainboard or the UEFI BIOS interface allowing you to release the potential performance hidden in the system.
If you wish to sell all the various technology or products mentioned above, you are welcome to visit MSI's booth at CeBIT Hall 17 C38 from March 1st to March 5th. We will have professionals onsite to provide detailed explanations for you.

AMD Phenom 2 X4 955 / MSI 790 FX / XFX 4870 X2
09.47A couple of months ago AMD released their initial AM3 CPUs, the 810 and 720. These processors were the first to use DDR3 on the AMD platform and while each was priced attractively they failed to live up to the performance of the DDR2 based Phenom 2 X4 940. Today AMD release the latest AM3 processor, the 955 Black Edition, the first to have a real chance of competing with the 940 in that all important enthusiast market. Combined with a high specification 790FX based motherboard and ATI GPU it creates what could be AMD’s most powerful system ever.
Today we take a look at the latest performance figures from the AM3 (Dragon) platform using the 955, MSI’s new 790FX-GD70 and XFX’s 4870 X2. Is it finally time for AMD users to make the switch to DDR3?Read More... [Source: -::: MITRAMSI :::- - Posted by FreeAutoBlogger]
MSI Z68A-GD80 (Intel Z68) Motherboard Review
09.47
It's been a long time since we've had a look at a board from MSI, but the release of a new chipset from Intel seems like the perfect time to look at one. Today we'll be looking at the MSI Z68A-GD80 which is one of the two Z68 boards MSI are currently listing on their website.
Aside from the Z68A-GD80 we're looking at today, the only other one currently listed on the MSI website is the Z68MA-ED55 which is a mATX board. So if you're looking for something that's going to fill up your case, the chances are you'll be eyeing the bad boy we have with us today.
Due to the fact that we've already done an extended look into the MSI Z68A-GD80 in our MSI Z680A-GD80 Preview a few days back, we won't be going into any detail on the board or package as we've already covered that extensively. Instead we'll be getting straight into the BIOS to see how that looks before we cover overclocking and then of course the performance of the board in a large range of benchmarks.

MSI X58 Pro-E vs ASUS P6T Deluxe vs ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe
09.47Perhaps the biggest problem we saw with these motherboards was their price, both situated above $250, they were far from affordable. Add to that the serious price premium for DDR3 memory, and you ended up with a relatively affordable and fast Core i7 920 processor that nevertheless needed to run on an expensive platform.
Today DDR3 prices have dropped dramatically. It is now possible to purchase a 3GB triple-channel kit for as little as $50, or a 6GB kit that start at around $80. The recent drop in DDR3 pricing got us thinking about the affordability of the Core i7 platform, and we began to wonder just how cheap users could build one of these systems.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 Round-Up
09.47by Mathew Miranda in Graphics/Sound
When the GeForce GTX 580 arrived, it extended NVIDIA's lead in the single-GPU graphics card market. Although the green team's own GTX 480 previously held the title of fastest single-GPU, its reign was temporary as the first generation Fermi card required some tweaks in order to unleash all 512 shader cores, reduce heat output and power consumption, and minimize noise levels. With these issues addressed in the GTX 580, NVIDIA continues to be a leader in single-GPU graphics performance. AMD's Radeon HD 6970 was initially targeted to take on the GTX 580 in the high end market, but it's obvious now that those expectations were unrealistic. Rather, it's more competitive with the GTX 570 and the dual-GPU powered Antilles (Radeon HD 6990) is AMD's real heavyweight contender.
