NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570

The GTX 580 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Fermi 2.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 570 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 349. NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Fermi 2.0 graphics card inside the GTX 570, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

Spec for spec, this GTX 570 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 470, by boasting 43.1 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 570 blows past the GTX 470 and, amazingly, even the GTX 480 as well.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, HD 6970, the GTX 570 was 6.2 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 570 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 470 and it really justifies an upgrade.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 / FX-8320

It is worth noting that the GTX 570 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. With current 1280 MB RAM, the GTX 570 can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. It is important to know that GTX 570 's max load temperature is very high and might require custom cooling solutions. This combination between GTX 570 and AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core has less than 15% bottleneck in many games and can cause minor FPS loss. View Current Price List

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / FX-8320

It appears that the GTX 970 is a more capable mid-range card that can play AAA titles at 1080p with 60 frames per second. With regards to max load temperature, the GTX 970 's cooling is excellent at keeping it cool and under control. This combination between GTX 970 and AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core has less than 15% bottleneck in many games and can cause minor FPS loss. With current 4096 MB RAM, the GTX 970 can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. View Current Price List
