Glad I was able to get a hold of this baby.
Customized 5870 design with 15-phase power supply system (13 phases for core and two for the mems). This card is composed also of Solid State Capacitors, Hi-C caps, Solid State Chokes and special PCB design called LPL (Lightning Power Layer). For the cooling part, you still have the Twin Frozr II cooler which is made up of two 8cm PWM Fans and 4x 8mm Superpipes.
Included accessories are HDMI cable, afterburner and driver cd, manuals, crossfire cable, dvi to vga adapter
Two pcs of 8pins to 6pins connector and lastly the volt check cable
More pictures of the Lightning.
Shiny pipes ? and the PCIE Slot cover
The gold blocks there are the SSC and another cover for the Xfire connectors
On the rear you have two DVI connector, HDMI and display port
So for my test system which I common use for benchies
Processor: i7 920 C0 (I wish I still have my old D0 with me)
Motherboard: MSI X58 PRO
Mems: Plain and simple Kingston 2x2GB DDR3 1333mhz
PSU: AcBel 900watts
OS and Driver: Windows 7 32bit and ATI Catalyst 10.2 with HotFix and MSI Afterburner 1.50 .
Note: No OS tweaks and mem tweaks at all
First test with All stock settings. Bottleneck!!!!
2nd Test ? 920 oc?ed at 4.2ghz to isolate the Bottleneck. Score went up right away
Last Test ? Oc?ed proc and oc?ed VC. As you can see I was able to hit 1015mhz only for the core with 1.35v. I guess the full potential of this card would be unleashed once you used a LN2 or Dry Ice cooling.
