Extreme overclockers Vince "k|ngp|n" Lucido and Illya "TiN" Tsemenko are not satisfied with the overclocking capabilities of current gThis card requires the other components needed to complete a watercooling system (pump, radiator, etc.)

This card features a 14+3 Phase Power Design that can deliver over 1000W of power, and the redesigned cooling solution with an 8CM fan improves efficiency by as much as 30% (compared to the standard cooler). The NEC Proadlizer, Super Low ESR SP-Cap capacitors, and high frequency 3MHz shielded inductors provide clean and precise voltage control, and the onboard voltage probe points lets you monitor them with ease. Of course, full support for the EVGA EVBot means that you can overclock and monitor your card on the fly, and a special OC BIOS enables extreme overclocking mode.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Classified is engineered and designed to perform for everyone, from gamers to the top overclocking enthusiasts in the world. The dual slot top cooled design means that you do not need to worry about space or motherboard layout limitations, and this card supports everything from single card up to 4-way SLI out of the box.Learn more here.

Awards of the EVGA GeForce GTX 580 Classified Hydro Copper 3072MB (03G-P3-1593-AR)

The card especially exceeded my expectations on ambient cooling by a long shot. Not to mention I was limited by a low core voltage of 1.32 V while sub zero, so I'm confident this card has a lot left in the tank. In my opinion, the GTX580 Classified has earned the right to be in the top tier of GTX580 graphics cards.
EVGA has definitely designed an overclocking beast and with LN2 have alread passed the 1.6GHz mark. For us mere mortals who just want to use a traditional air cooling EVGA pretty much nailed it, they have the extra cooling the overclockers demand without the negatives of a huge tri-slot card that dumps all of its heat into a user's case.
We were able to get more of an overclock on this card than we have seen on our other GTX 580’s, but we barely scratched the surface of what it’s truly capable of. If the price different between this card and a standard 3Gb GTX 580 wasn’t so close I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone other than professional overclockers. But the reality is this card as it sits today is $10 more than a standard card. For $10 you are getting a card that is built to be pushed to the limit and should have no problem running for a very long time at the loads the average gamer is going to put it under. You are also getting upgraded cooling at still continues to (mostly) push the hot air out of the back and support from EVGA who actually encourages you to overclock the card!
