ZOTAC ZT-50203-10M GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Very impressive perfrmance and pleasant suprise from a gaming fluidity, hard-"velvet", "total visual-rendering onscreen" perspecitve. Bought this card for my 1366 i7 930 Offfice machine, the same week that the 670GTX series came out,...So, we apid the nice price, with Assasin's Creed-Brthrhd,..however, noticed from Tom's Charts, that the 570's, are by design 9% slower (un-OC'd), in most apps/games/BMs at 1080p,...but, in the large matrices caculations, or basically what 4000i TVs+3D will require,... they are 4X faster than the 670s! has to do with the way Nvidia "went AMD" by tripling the number of Shaders hardware, instead of "HOT Clocking" less shaders, and the same reasonss as to WHY a 2X/3X-SLI, is slower on frames/sec than the sum of the parts,...also, big PRO for me, is that this card, unlike the tri-Fire'd 5850's in the game room,..has what Nvidia adverts as, "True and Deep Colors technology", so with the right HDTV compatability on a 46"Panasonic Viera---Kate Upton, or for that matter, "Mr. Spock",...never lookd so good!

Cons: Not a big "Con"--but, here it is,...previously, this machine (in a Velocity Micro - SLI case) had Two XF-ired 5850's, so when we went to the single, 570, we stuck an old 450GTS into the second PCI-e slot,...and the temps would take the fan, like under FM 3DMark 11 type-loads, to the point where the fan speed would drift slightly above the minimun speed at 40% of max, and then you could hear the fan running,...so, we ordered a 16X PCI-e extension cable from China, via AliExpress for $3, and then moved the 450 GTS, one slot up, so that it did not partially block the 570 intake,..and Presto! no fan speeds above 40%, therfor no fan noise while gaming, etc.,...problem solved.

Other Thoughts: Good card,...and also, love(apprciate) Nvidia, partly b/c met the Technical Marketing Director, Tom Petersen, and had a nice detailed/insightful chat at Quakecon-Dallas, one year,...and have a small understanding, aar, for what they are doing, and how the "market" realities dictates what they produce on any given day,...so, other than a signfigantly lower heat output with the 32nm lithography, the 570GTX, remains a great card, (and VALUE) at least for the next 5 years?!

Pros: Fantastic card with great performance all around.
Would definitely recommend, just not for $420!

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Bought two of these because of the price to then run SLI which has definitely improved the FPS! Very impressed upgrading from a MSI GTX 460 768MB Cyclone. Over clocking is simple with the program provided although you really can't get a whole lot more from the card(s).

Pros: I've had no problems what-so-ever with this card. Runs easily, even with two monitors, and runs all of the most intense games with at least 40 to 130 fps

Cons: overclocking is kind of hard, and i stay away from it.

Pros: Fast, quiet performer. I am a MMORPG player so maybe not quite as demanding as some other games but this card made a huge difference in performance in crowded cities in Rift and allows me to use the highest settings on my 1920X1200 display.

Rebate made it a better deal and the fact that it had more savings when combined with Lightroom4, which I happened to be in the market for, made this a great deal all around for me.

Cons: None.

Pros: Hard to beat the price/performance ($199 w/MIR)

Cons: Either the fan is especially loud under load, or this suffers from severe coil whine. It's by far the loudest thing in the case. It's not enough to take away an egg, though.

Other Thoughts: Wear headphones when you're gaming with it.

Pros: Great price. $199.99 AR. Plays BF3 on Ultra settings at over 60fps on a 1680x1050 22" monitor. Shorter than my GTS260. Same lenght as my old GTS8800. Looks much better in real life than the photos. I was an EVGA man but so far so good with Zotac

Cons: None really. Comes with only one cooling fan. Some other 570's come with 2 or 3 fans. Gets louder during BF3 in my opinion but I would not say the card is "loud". My case could use better airflow.

Other Thoughts: I wanted a GTX for 570 for $200 and I got one....Now I want to SLI it. With my AMD FX4100 CPU and this card both maxed out in a stress test I draw a total of 300 watts.(waiting on AMD FX8350)

Pros: Very easy install with no problems at all. It came with a very simple to use overclocking software and Assassins Creed: Brotherhood for free.

Cons: The fan on this card is VERY loud. I use headphones though so it doesn't bother me.

Pros: Last video card was an HD4890 -thought I'd give Nvidia a try -glad I did -colors are richer/textures are better than the last few ATI/AMD's -570 for just over $200 -even less with rebate -less than the 6950 2gb I was looking into w/ better frame rates -looks awesome -relatively quiet -stays cool -used latest drivers and installed without problems.

Cons: Zotac utility for adjusting fan speed was problematic, so I am using afterburner -with no issues.

I think I may have bought the last of these on Newegg -thinking of SLI eventually, if possible -I hope I can get one somewhere if not here.

Other Thoughts: The AMD card (from a well-known company) I was looking into had a solid 5 eggs with well over 100 reviews -this card (from Zotac? Who?) had 5 eggs -but 8 reviews. I'm hoping it performs well and is reliable -I was a bit nervous about the few reviews -but the lower price, increased performance and my desire to try Nvidia helped make the decision -and quality so far is more than expected. I like giving less-well-known manufacturers a try, also.

Pros: Love it. Have been using it for months now and it can run practically any game I throw at it in 1920x1200 at max settings with 30+ FPS. It's also quiet (for a video card). It's a pretty good price too.

Cons: It makes a little noise? It's not free?

Nvidia's support for Linux with more than 2 monitors or more than 1 video card is awful. TwinView is good, but doesn't support 3 monitors.

Other Thoughts: Perfect on Windows, but I'd go for an AMD with Linux, I've heard they're much better (I've heard they dedicate full time employees to helping the open source community).

Pros: Plays max settings on UT3, SC2, and more, without even breaking a sweat. BOINC really loves it too.

Cons: Drivers were kind of a pain but what else can you expect from a video card.
