First seen back in May, the N275GTX Lightning seems to finally be ready for prime time, with MSI announcing it in a proper way. Equipped with 'Military Class' components, the new GT200-powered card features a 10-phase power design, a 10-layer PCB, a Twin Frozr II dual-slot cooler boasting two 80mm fans and five heatpipes (two of which are 8mm SuperPipes), APS (Active Phase Switching) power management technology, and V-Check points for easy voltage measurements.

The new card has 240 Processing Cores and a 448-bit memory interface, a core clock of 700 MHz (633 MHz stock), 1792MB of GDDR3 memory set @ 2300 MHz (2268 MHz), D-Sub, DVI and HDMI outputs, and is bundled with the Lightning Afterburner utility.

The N275GTX Lightning is yet unavailable but is listed by European stores with prices as low as 253 Euro.
