EVGA has been tweaking the design of its upcoming GeForce GTX 580 Classified videocard for a few weeks now, offering up the first sneak peek back in early July. Yesterday evening, EVGA Product Manager Jacob Freeman uploaded a pic of the shipping version to his Google+ account, which looks very similar to initial design, only gnarlier.
Only a front shot of the final revision is available, but if everything else remains unchanged, the Classified version will ship with triple power input connectors, including two 8-pin PCI-E connectors and a single 6-pin PCI-E connector (hat should give overclocking enthusiasts plenty of power to play with); a 14+3 phase PWM; voltage status LEDs; 3-way and 4-way SLI support; a dual BIOS; and high quality capacitors. In other words, the internal design should be every bit as beastly as its outer appearance, and then some (see photo gallery below).
No word on price.

Will EVGA be selling these with their preinstalled water block as an option?

Always loving EVGA's card designs, but this one I do not like! I was waiting for the 580 Classified too! But the looks of this card reminds me of 1995 body style video cards.
I'm sure the specs will rock your PC! But I like the way things look also. I might just sacrifice performance and settle with the 570 Classified. Hell, I'll save some money too, why not!

Geez...can you imagine 4 of these beasts in SLI? You'd need a home nuclear reactor to power them. :p
