MSI N580GTX: Custom Vapor Chamber cooling
The new NVIDIA GF110 GPU is a powerful chip with advanced compute features powered by 512 CUDA cores, 1536MB GDDR5 graphics memory. The MSI N580GTX is cooled by an advanced custom Vapor Chamber cooler for the best possible heat dissipation, ensuring heat is quickly absorbed from the GPU and exhausted out the rear of the card. The cooler is designed specifically to have optimum performance when running in SLI.

MSI Exclusive Afterburner Software
MSI’s exclusive Afterburner utility allows for flexible overclocking and monitoring options. The GPU frequency can be adjusted and GPU voltage control allows more headroom when you’re looking for more GPU performance. The advanced fan control function allows end-user control of fan speeds to ensure stability when required or low noise when needed. MSI Kombustor helps users test the stability of overclocks and monitor overclocking conditions.
