GEFORCE GTX 580 BEAST WATER-COOLING GRAPHICS CARD

Point of View (POV) and TGT have partnered to offer their first water-cooled graphics card, in the form of the latest GeForce GTX 580. They called it the GeForce GTX 580 ‘Beast’. Specs-wise, the card integrates 512 CUDA cores, a GPU clock of 855MHz (compared to stock of 772MHz), a shader clock of 1710MHz, a 1536MB of GDDR5 memory set @ 4104MHz (stock is at 4005MHz) and comes with a 9mm slim-line water-cooling block from Aqua Computer. The Water-Cooled GeForce GTX 580 ‘Beast’ retails for 729Euro or approx. USD$978. That pretty much makes it one of the most expensive GeForce GTX 580 out there. For comparison, the EVGA GTX 580 FTW Hydro Copper 2 is factory overclocked to 850MHz for GPU, and has a memory clock speed of 4196MHz, at the cost of only USD$699.
