I love the buttons on the Asus card.

Also the proadlizer circuits in the MSI pic, are what I expect to arrive on the dual gpu cards. These things are so complex and can pull so much power its the only way to do them right.
cool stuff.

The gtx 580 has a dual bios switch, I wonder if they will use this with the gtx590?
Could save a ton of power.

Like anyone would use the slower bios.

I can't wait to see what kind of overclocks these cards can do. The lightning and Matrix cards always overpowered the cooler on the them when you pushed them, but really excelled on water on LN2.

The coolers are the same, but I'm sure the Matrix has components that can sustain higher voltages and clocks.

Thats what all those gubins and gizmo's are for, isn't it?

Agreed. I'm hoping the matrix can do 1050 atleast

I guess MSI's customers ain't good nuff to have Class 3 compomemts on their vid cards...

Why make a card that will take up 3 slots? I was hoping the design would be similar to previous Matrix like GTX 280 or 5870.
