MSI Geforce GTX 480 Lightning 1536 MB @ techPowerUp

There are 2 schools of thought about how video cards should be.  On one side we have the overclocker and hardware enthusiasts.  These people love to push their gear in hopes of smoothing out game play or tinkering on the weekend for more HWBot points.  This is a small group of people who are very vocal, and tend to think everyone is just like them.  On the flip side you have the mute majority who really don't give a crap.

In true form of the saying "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" we have started seeing a ton of new products designed and built for the vocal majority with overclocking in mind.

MSI's GeForce GTX 480 Lightning promises to be an overclocker's dream. It is build around a completely redesigned PCB and thermal solution with overclockers in mind. The card offers unique features like control for up to three voltages, dual BIOS with liquid nitrogen support and easy to reach voltage measurement points.

I am of the opinion that cooler is better, I may not overclock 24/7, or even run my main desktop in an overclocked profile but I can respect the potential these super overclocked videocards can provide.
