ZOTAC GeForce GTX 570 Pro Reviews

So in the end it comes down to your platform choice. If you want the fastest frame rates on an Intel rig then Nvidia cards will generally deliver the performance you expect, and on an AMD setup pairing up its CPUs and GPUs is the way to go. Makes sense really.

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 accessible price of around £268. The fact that this price is two-thirds that of the top-end GTX 580, yet offers performance not very much lower, means it is a sweet-spot purchase for high-end gamers. The energy efficiency savings versus both (the GTX 480 and GTX 580), and the ability to put together two or three GTX570 cards in SLI mode for far more performance than the GTX580 are additional sweeteners. This graphics card quite simply beats the pants off the cards in its price-zone, and is a worthy buy.
