Gets bigger fans and different PCB

MSI is continuing its Lightning series with a new card based on Geforce GTX 275 GPU, the N275GTX. Since the GTX 260 and GTX 275 share the same PCB, it was expected that they will simply reuse it on this product as well, but MSI has decided that premium product line deserves something more and thus the new N275GTX will have a brand new PCB and a larger fans on the Twin Frozr cooler.

The PCB comes with an 8-phase power design, and features "solid-state chokes". It also features Hi-C capacitors, so this card will have full quality when it comes to PCB design and components choice. The cooler apparently has a larger fans, higher density heatsink and slightly different shroud design.

The card has DVI, D-Sub and HDMI outputs and comes with 1792MB of GDDR3 memory. The clocks, availability date and the price are still unknown, but we will try to get these as soon as we can. Until then here are some pictures of the card and the cooler that surfaces at VR-Zone.
