That it is, but where I come from, you don't get to RMA this stuff so easily. I've noticed it's less of a problem over-seas, so it seems at least.

If you get a 570, with a good cooler (either the DCII or TFIII, Gigabyte has a custom cooler as well) you can overclock it to perform very well. What is you preference of FPS when playing games ?

So unless they make a game that makes Crysis 2 look like Mario World on the N64, I don't see myself upgrading my own rig in the near future. And when the time comes, I will either get a new PSU and a second 570, or try to sell this 570 and get the kepler equivalent or superior
