The EVGA GTX 570, a fast graphics card and it is capable of running basically all games in high setting. It is currently priced at 369.99 since this is the superclocked version. I do recommend overclocking the normal 570 instead since it is something that can be done. My current 570 is @ 900/1800/2200 ~ 1.1v. The 570 doesn't sound too loud at lower RPMs, but when it goes to 70 degrees it gets pretty loud under load and some people say it would be better to get the MSI Twin Forzer edition since it is a little bit more silent and can handle overclocking a lot easier. Most of the games I play go from 60 FPS-108 FPS depending upon the game, such as Starcraft 2, BFBC2, and 60FPS on Mass Effect 2. There is also the ability to add a better exhaust and a backplate, however that is more cosmetic but it looks really nice compared to the chips showing and provides some protection vs dust.

I recently purchased two of these cards and let me tell you, they are awsome. I bought two and both worked perfectly out of the box. EVGA is a real class act and you are able to register your products on their website and it keeps track of all of your items, serial numbers, and even receipts for you. I decided to put together a new gaming rig to play the new DirectX 11 games. I have always like EVGA and went with these cards, a i7 950 and an EVGA Classified 3 motherboard. So far I have been able to play all of my DirectX 10 games with all of my graphics settings cranked to the max. I have yet to have these cards fail at anything I throw. All of this goodness with a price that does not kill you. You can get two of these for just over the price of one 580GTX. I have two issues with this card. The first one is the drivers. SInce it is a new card the driver development so the performance is still not reached its potential. Second, these things are power hungry. You need at least 200 watts for each of these cards; and that is before overclocking. I have a 1000 watt power supply and I am pushing it running two of these things. Over all, I would highly recomend this card; especially if you plan on using SLI.

The EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked  is a Great Card! Really outstanding performance for the money. FOr so long nVidia has had cards taht overheated system cases and need tons of power. Its about time nVidia released the revised Fermi cards with lower power consumption and less heat. The EVGA GTX 570 SuperClocked card  plays everything I throw at it -- max'd out with little noise and heat. Got the free 3DMark 11 with it. In my opinion, and honestly, this is the better option to go when considering this or the bigger brother the GTX 580. The performance differences are minimal and the extra outlay of cash just is not worth it. With these features and more, the EVGA GeForce GTX 570 Superclocked gives you more than one way to elevate your experience. Specifications include the GTX 570 (797MHz core clock) chipset, 1280MB of 0.5ns GDDR5 memory with a 3900 MHz effective memory clock and 156 GB/second memory bandwidth, 320 bit memory interface, 1594 MHz Shader Clock, 480 CUDA cores, 47.8 GT/s texture fill rate and PCI Express 2.0 compatibility. Additional features include Microsoft DirectX 11 Support, NVIDIA PhysX and NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technologies, NVIDIA 2-way and 3-way SLI readiness, NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround readiness, NVIDIA CUDA technology with CUDA C/C++, DirectCompute 5.0, and OpenCL support, PCI-Express 2.0 support and OpenGL 4.1 support. Connections are 1 Mini-HDMI 1.4a connector and 2 Dual-Link DVI-I HDCP capable connectors. Package includes the EVGA Driver/software disc with EVGA Precision Tuning utility, 1 Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable, 1 DVI to VGA adaptor, 2 6-pin PCI-E power cables and a limited lifetime warranty if registered within 30 days. Overall this is a real winner!!
