First up, the photo-shoot. Okay, this is the part where we move away from the technical stuff for a minute and move on to the product photo-shoot followed by initial tests on heat, power consumption and noise levels.

We'll start off with the packaging and bundle, MSI's bundle software wise is a little sober really. You need to seek the extra's in the hardware itself. You'll receive:

  • One Radeon HD 5870 Lightning edition  with 1024MB GDDR5 memory
  • DVI to VGA Dongle x 1
  • Crossfire bridge x 1
  • Manual
  • Driver CD
  • Voltage monitor point extenders x 3
  • 6 to 8-pin PEG power connector converters x 2
  • HDMI cable
  • AfterBurner Overclock software

So as you can see, here we have the Radeon HD 5870 as supplied by MSI. Such a lovely card to look at really.

Nice black PCB, cool looking cooler with two 80mm fans and some nice connectivity -- gold plated.
