This review is from: MSI GeForce GTX580 1536 MB DDR5 2DVI/Mini HDMI PCI-Express Video Card N580GTX TWIN FROZR II/OC (Personal Computers)
Everything about this card makes me very happy. I normally run about 25 degrees celcius on the internet, when gaming I'm maxed out on crysis 2 on all setting, the game plays extremely smooth with no noticeable hesitation and my temps are right around 45 to 47 degrees during the action packed scenes. I am using an Intel 875k on an EVGA P55 motherboard with only 4 gigs of ram. The quality and appearance of this video card are absolutely top notch, I would recommend this card to my friends and I would definately buy the same card again. With this GTX 580 single GPU card, there is no need to take the leap for me to a dual GPU card which costs two to three hundred more. This card was purchased for $500 on Amazon and I am extremely happy with the decision, my system just took huge leaps and bounds with this new additon. Also note, I am running a Fatality Champion Series case which is awesome, but keep in mind it's a little light on cooling fan positions, it only allows 2 small fans in the...Read more

Well i decided to go with this 580GTX as i been holding back for awhile now. I currently use a 295GTX. She has seen her days lol! What really made me go for the upgrade was the game Shogum 2. My poor 295 just couldnt handle that amazing game and now this 580 runs it at MAX rez at 1920x1080 wonderful. This cards OC/ ability is amazing and the cooler its equiped with works great. My system is a i7 2.6 with triple channel 8gb memory running on a rampage 2 extreme MB and 5 SSD RAID 0. Pretty much a powerhouse and just for your info this 580 by MSI has improved my framerates dramatically in all games! Amazing card!

As of now I have nothing negative to say, other than the price. But for the money you get a great graphics card.
It is very quite and I have never noticed the fans really.
It performs really way in new games such as the witcher 2, which looks beautiful with this card.
Since a lot of the card is covered by aluminium it gives it feels more quality than I guess those in plastic does.
