Galaxy GeForce GTX 580 with Multi-Display Support Pictured
Here are some of the first pictures of an unreleased custom design GeForce GTX 580 graphics card by Galaxy, given out by the good folks at HardOCP. It may look like yet another GTX 580 graphics card with a beefy cooling solution, but it's a little more than that. To begin with, it has a redone display logic that gives it a total resolution of 5760 x 1080. This means that three 1920 x 1080 displays can be connected to it without needing another card. Its display outputs include three mini-HDMI and a full-size DisplayPort. Display management is backed by Galaxy's in-house EZY display setting software.
The card uses a massive heatsink to which heat is fed by a number of heat pipes, and ventilated by three 80 mm fans. The frame around these fans is made of clear acrylic, and is studded with LEDs, to give the card a groovy blue glow during operation.

And now for the price... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!! (And keep it going for a few months or so)
Also, I hope that at least one of the outputs can do 2560x1600 for us PLP guys.
While it would be no problem for me to have a couple cards in SLI to run Surround, I like the simplicity of this card. Could build a cute SB ITX Triple-1080 Surround box around this card.
Galaxy is a bit late to the party since next gen is just right around the corner. Hopefully Nvidia will implement single GPU surround too and catch up with AMD on that front. Until then this might be a valid option for some though.
