Since this is the standard edition of the GTX 570, ZOTAC has priced it at Rs.20,000 which is about 4K lower than the Palit card. While the performance is a bit lower you should be able to overclock the card to get a bit more out of it. Plus ZOTAC also...

The Zotac GTX 570 is the daddy in graphics cards terms. At a chunk under £300 it's a card that will more than likely take up most of your upgrade budget, so is it worth that outlay on a single component?Well, as we've seen before the answer...

To beat the champion of the previous generation is no mean feat. Performance numbers close to the current-gen single-GPU champion (GTX 580) is an even better achievement. The GTX 570 is a great replacement for the GTX 480. All of that power, at an...

With the launch of their flagship model, it’s now time for Nvidia to take a step back and look at the next market segment. The GTX 570 launches today just in time for the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm as well as 3DMark 11. While I...

While the results were a little dicey over who exactly would be taking home the crown, I think in the end the GTX 570 just pipped the 6970 at the post. It’s still quite expensive really considering that the 6850 is still providing playable frame...

Betrachten wir die Benchmarks der zurückliegenden Seiten, dürfte die GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores genau das erreicht haben, was Nvidia bezwecken wollte: Ein frischer Grafikchip fürs Weichnachtsgeschäft, der sich leistungsmäßig zwischen GTX 560 Ti und...

Rein technisch gesehen und im Hinblick auf das für den Kunden wahrnehmbare Featureset der GeForce GTX 570, hat sich im Vergleich zur ersten Fermi-Generation nichts Wesentliches geändert. Leistungsmäßig kann die GeForce GTX 570 wie...
