Member Reviews: EVGA GeForce GTX 570 1280 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI-I/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready Limited Lifetime Warranty Graphics Card, 012-P3-1570-AR

I just love this card, but more than that, I LOVE EVGA! They are the BEST. Period. I bought this over a year ago when this card was basically new. Recently I tried overclocking it (had no reason to before; KILLED every game I played w/ ease). It died when attempting overclocking, and I wasn't even pushing it that hard. Then, EVGA in usual fashion, sent me a replacement card, no questions asked. I'm looking forward to purchasing a game that will actually challenge this thing (probably BF3), but even then it probably won't be a challenge, because mine will have a partner: A second 570. Those two in SLI, I'm sure, will absolutely SLAY, mercilessly, ANY game I throw at them at this...

Summary: I was previously using GTX460s in sli, 1gb versions 850 core clock, i bought 1 570 as a upgrade path, and i noticed minor performance increase, but no decrease from the lack of a second card, once i bought my second card, i could easily max all games at 1920x1080 (skyrim, crisis 2, bf3 ectera) I paid 700 in total for the 2 when i got them one in oct 11, then dec 11, if i could go back i would just buy a 580, then bought a second one down the road, the only flaw with this card is the 1258 vram, although i only play in as mentioned 1920x1080 they are around 200 now, which is great bang for buck, and i highly recommend these cards Detailed Review: Size: these cards are top...

This is just one fantastic video card. I always think the x70 cards (470, 570...) are the best bang for the buck when it comes to nvidia. They are always big beefy cards with killer performance, and almost always around the $350 mark. At first when i got this card I had it in a mini ITX build (Silverstone SG07), and in that, it got killer temps (sorry, I don't have any numbers). However, a minor gripe is that it doesn't do as well in a vertical orientation in cases such as the FT02 from Silverstone, at least in my experience. I custom built a case much like the FT02, but a bit smaller and with bigger fans. Even still, the card gets fairly hot. This may only be because I got the card with...
