Gigabyte has revealed to us that its new enthusiast card Gigabyte GeForce GTX 580 Super Overclock will appear on the market near the end of May. The card builds on a custom PCB with a juicy 14 phase power supply and dual BIOS circuits and a powerful WindForce 3X cooler.
TechSpot: The Gigabyte GTX 580 SOC operates at 855MHz or about double the overclock of Asus and Zotac's cards. For what appears to be a justifiable $35 premium over Nvidia's already steep $500 suggested retail price, they are adding a new PCB design and upgraded cooler. Let's take a closer look before slamming the card with our battery of performance tests…
Guru3D: It's always pretty darn interesting when a graphics card manufacturer simply purchases the GPU from the ODM, and then starts building a new card around it. Not many names in the industry have that R&D capacity and design level behind them, and I'm not even mentioning turn-around time here.. Amongst them are ASUS, MSI and of course for today's product, Gigabyte.
In many ways the GeForce GTX 580 SO/SOC surprised us, including heat and noise levels, but also the overclocking potential. All in all impressive stuff, have a quick peek at the product and then lets dive into the review.
