Straightforward install, unbelievable graphics. You can't slow this card down. I have no thought why anyone would contemplate SLI'ing two of these at the point in time. Cost Massive upgrade from my 8800 GTS. Plan to SLI in about 2 years when some thing comes out that will challenge this card

Had a two 9800 GX2's in quad SLI and the GTX570 blows them away hands down. Great cost wonderful deal. Much cooler running than the twin 9800's and my computer is half as cramped. None 930 I7 1336Gigabyte X58 133612 gigs corsair ram.1200 watt Antec power provide

Good card!! Bought 1 (not from Newegg) to replace a pair of SLI GTX260s. Benches with the GTX570 had been ten-40% greater all the way across the board. Lifetime warranty if you register the card (which I did ahead of I even installed it!) Card started artifacting on day four. I did not overclock the card, I didn't even game that tough. One day one I ran like 5 or 6 different benchmarks (Heaven 2.1, 3dm06, 3dm11 and others) and almost everything was fine. Card ran excellent from the date of obtain (Dec 22 2010) till Dec 26 2010. I went to run a set of DX10 Heaven benchmarks to compare directly with my GTX260 SLI outcomes and noticed artifacts, then Heaven2.1 crashed. I uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers, and Heaven, and still the same result. All games nevertheless play (more or less) but have artifacts now exactly where they ran perfectly on Dec 23-25. Temps have by no means gone more than 65c. I submitted for RMA thru PNY on Dec26 and nevertheless haven't heard anything back but. Hopefully, PNY will step up and get this straightened out so I can get back to some gaming. My specs: Asus M4N72-E motherboard, 750gb SATA HDD, 6gb DDR2, 900w Topower PowerBird PSU, AMD PhenomII 955BE three.20ghz.

Upgrade from tri sli gtx 260's just about identical fps in all games in dx10 mode, with just the 1 card,dx11, will sli this card down the line. Have by no means had a difficulty with PNY so far 8500,8800gts, 9600 gso, gtx 260s, Some folks have complications with particular vendors, but men and women forget everything is created in the identical factory...CHINA what do you anticipate..... gets hot under load reached temps greater than having 3way sli 260s. but turn up fan speed all great pleased i skipped 400 series, gotta really like bench testing new cards

DVI Works Ok Poor design on mini hdmi connect cable. A person truly made a large mistake on all or most nVidia GeForce styles with the cable connection. Better go with ATI till nvidia gets this fixed on all the hdmi mini connects. Just think of all the millions of dollors of nVidia video cards that are going in the trash this year.

Comment:
A single GTX570 = 2 GTX285s in SLI. Ran both 3dMark06 and 3dMark Vantage tests, and immediately after 4-5 runs, the outcomes are pretty consistent. I replaced a tri-SLI setup with 1 card, and have been really impressed with the outcomes. Will order yet another card from Newegg to SLI, and most likely will replace both my children' 285s with 570s as nicely. The 570 does run cooler, each at idle and at load, than a single 285. It runs pretty quiet until the card heats up, and then you get a momentary jet-engine noise from your Computer; use a 3rd party util to manage fans. I will confirm what each hardware web site has stated about this card: it is what Fermi was meant to be. No freebies, package offers, and so on. I remember when the 285s came out, they packaged most of them with free games. No wide support for DX11 however. Metro 2033, Battlefied BC2, Stalker: CoP, and Dirt2 look rather meh with DX11 support. I will say that BC2 has the most noticable DX11 support - the rocks, the roots on the trees, and in particular the lumberyard scene with all the trees stacked up into triangles - DX11 adds good looks to the logs. Organizing on selecting up HAWX2 to compare to HAWX - I'm hoping for massive changes, but I'm not holding my breath. Immediately after much more than a year of DX11, you would believe that games would commence adopting the technologies. Implementation of DX11 tesselation has been minimal - generally not even noticeable. In a game like Metro 2033, where there is little color (mostly bleak/gray atmosphere), you would believe they would have implemented DX11 to much far better effects. For now, I will have to do a daily run of Unigine Heaven on Extreme settings just to be wowed by my new card. NVidia drivers have no way to override every single game's tesselation settings - you would feel that if you can override AA/AS, tesselation would be an open alternative....

I've upgraded from a 9800 GT to this and this blows that out the water. I was going to buy an 480 GTX ,but the critiques says the 570 is slightly quicker then the 480 and runs quieter in cooler, plus its 150 dollars less expensive. It runs anything I've throw at it at max settings. It's surprisingly fits into my old gateway case. I will probably get a different one in the future as soon as I upgrade my case and motherboard. None I can feel of right now. My Specs:Phenom II X4 965 OC to 3.8 GHZ8 GB 1333 G.Skill RIPJAWS RAMRosewill 700W PSUPNY GeForce GTX 570BIOSTAR TA785G3HD AM3 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Outstanding card, performance is really amazing Mine appears to run truly hot, in the course of a graphically intense game (like Metro 2033) I've noticed temperatures spike up to 90 - 94c. Perhaps the OEM thermal paste wasn't applied properly so I will re-apply it personally and hope that will take care of the heating concern, or at least lower it. I would also like to note that my case has decent ventilation.

Purchased 2 of these for sli and as soon as I opened I noticed that they had been the HD non reference style models. These ran hot and in any game would trigger a reboot. Newegg refunded the cash and I got 2 580's (evga) and they have been cool and rapidly. PNY isn't changing the item # so newegg and the consumer don't know the product they are finding. I learned my lesson straying from EVGA. Newegg produced it correct as always.

Just got this card yesterday. Quick and straightforward install, but beware this is a huge card at suitable around 11 inches. I have a half inch or much less space among the end of it and my challenging drive cage inside my mid tower. Cool, and surprisingly quiet (don't even know it's there). Nice upgrade from my 5850 Radeon, despite the fact that it doesn't blow it out of the water by any signifies None but

Runs coolVeryExcellent OC (running at 800MHz-was at 850Mhz but a bit hot during stress tests) Card is lengthy, was tight fit to install This Card has performed good. I was able to OC it to 850MHz and it was stable but temps climbed up to high 70C range in a few mins. Seeing as I didnt want to crank up the fan (due to noise) I set core at 800MHz with fan set to 50%. Throughout testing temps rise to about 60C. Will crank this puppy up when I get a new water block for it. And to Anhui, no I didnt get a SLI bridge in my package. In the pics it clearly shows you recieve a energy adapter, HDMI to mini adapter, installation CD and a DVI to VGA adapter. I guess that could be a CON :-(. ( I already had one so not a COn for me)

Its awesome.. Thats a pro, maxes out everything at 1080p quickly even metro 2033 in DX11. Works good The sticker is starting to bubble, due to the heat this card produces. To the guy who gave this a 1 egg for not realizing where to RMA it too: Constantly GO By means of THE MANUFACTURER! Even if you purchased it from newegg

Fairly a lot the second fastest single GPU card (NOT single card) out there. Decent OCer Zero To prior reviewers: Most NVIDIA cards do NOT come with an SLI bridge. You ought to use the one with your motherboard.Radeons come with the Xfire bridge.Get it right.

GTX 570 Capacity of OC is poor, worse than EVGA and ASUS GTX 570.No SLI bridge. I have a question for those people today who bought this card: Did you get a SLI bridge in the box? GTX 570 is 15% poorer/worse than GTX 580, but I am waiting for GTX 590 or HD 6990.

Exceptional card out of the box, rich colors and fast. Card was initially fantastic so I thought, but the nviddmkm driver keeps failing or stops responding. Therefore, I had to return the defective card. Currently, waiting on replacement card. Initially problem ever had, I have shopped with newegg for years.

Auto fan no vsync crysis two max temp 86c after a couple of hours of game play full load, and over clock. Stock clocks runs max at 85c. Not certain if I can unlock the voltage settings. Really satisfied with pny.

Pros:Great performance
Comment:
I bought this during boxing day this year and it has been running smooth and fast since. Using this card for a dual screen set up. on BFBC2 it has been blazing fast. The only problem is that the advertised starcraft 2 demo key does not work. I tried porting this on the nvidia forums but I did not get a response. A few other people had the same problem and some of them got a new key but I did not.

I got a "store credit" from the location of buy to replace a bad card (didn't obtain from Newegg - bad move). I returned it to the location of buy as directed by PNY support simply because they stated it would be the "fastest return". I did what they said - a couple of days later I rec'd a phone call saying that they couldn't uncover anything wrong with the card. I stated "run the Unigine Heaven benchmark and you'll obivously see what's wrong - the card is artifacting!". They said "we only have 3Dmark 2006 and it looks OK" and I said "play COD Black Ops! Play metro2033! run the freekin Heaven bench! It's cost-free! Here's the download link!" and they stated "we only have 3Dmark 2006 and the card is fine" and I stated "do you even know what artifacting *is*??!?!?!?" and they stated "we only have 3Dmark 2006" and I said "you suck - send it to PNY". three weeks later, PNY says "the card is artifacting, concern a credit to your customer". Duh. I knew that. The "techs" at the RMA dept of the location I purchased the card were worthless. I will NOT mention where I bought it for company reasons. It took over a month to get a credit for a poor card. I really should have bought from Newegg. This return nightmare was NOT the fault of PNY! They got back me in about 3-4 days (not great, but not poor) and told me what the fastest course of action would be. If PNY had told me to send the card directly to them, I possibly would have had a new card 2 weeks ago. Nevertheless, I will not acquire an additional PNY card. Sorry PNY. If it fails in under 7 days, you do NOT get a 2nd chance. Luckily I kept my Z***C GTX260 just in case!

I got this recently along with a brand new system and it is working good, as expected. No problem at all.Only strange thing that isnt a problem for me is that the backplate of the video card doesnt have the same connectors as advertised (even on the original box). The card has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI (not mini) and another one that I am pretty sure is a Displayport while the ncix website (and many more) plus the boxing says that it has 2 DVI and 1 mini-hdmi only.

I got this for my recent Pro Build, for a system that my co-worker needed for video editing.Excellent powerful card, with excellent temperatures compared to the 400 series. Over clocked to 832/4000 temps stayed in the 68-70deg Celsius, a large drop  vs the 480/470s before.Excellent performance, pure raw gaming power.
