Galaxy GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 57NKH3HS4GXK
Galaxy GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 57NKH3HS4GXK

Pros: Installed in an ASUS Crosshair V, bottom slot. Surprisingly cool for being choked by the psu, even when overclocked. As with most 570's doesn't overclock especially well (google 'Have you killed a 570'). Handles vanilla games like a champ, dx9 games with max settings usually at 60 fps (w/ vsync), dx11 @ max settings 30+ fps. Rebate handled by 4myrebate (Mailing address in CA, US), chose the 'instant' rebate for $45. Received $45 pre paid Amex 3-4 weeks later.

Cons: As mentioned by others, the case and fan housing are plastic and kind of flimsy. If handled and installed by the edges of the board itself not an issue. One of the few cards not offered with Nvidia's Batman deal, but the pricing seemed to reflect that.

Overall Review: Originally had an Antec 500 watt psu when I first purchased this card. It ran, but anything too intensive would crash out. Upgraded to the Antec 900 hcg, no problems since. Previous card was a Galaxy GTX 460 GC, got great value out of that card, looking forward to more from this company. Definitely looking to pick up another one of these cards for SLI.

Was hoping it would last

ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard with 3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support and UEFI BIOS

Pros: Got this for xmas. Worked right out of the box. Lots of features.

Cons: Worked great until it didn't. Well it still technically works, but 2 of the memory slots won't recognize during post, so no dual channel functionality. Disappointed, but I guess I've been lucky up until now with parts not failing on me.

Overall Review: System Specs: Cpu: Amd 965 be Ram: G.skill f3-12800CL7D-8GBXH Psu: Antec hcg 900 Vga: Gtx 570

Pros: Handled everything i could throw at it exceptionally well. Overclocked about 15-20% with ease, considering it was factory oc. Only required a 500W PSU. Great value at the time.

Cons: Forgot to send in the MIR lol.

Overall Review: Purchased as part of my first self made system, saw lots of reviews touting asus, msi, and evga, but decided to take a chance on a lesser known brand. No regrets, upgraded to a Galaxy GTX 570.
