Nice Looking card, but dead on arrival
Pros: Nice clean design and good size fans. Large Heatsink
Cons: Powered up one time before loss of display.
Overall Review: First DOA video card. Hoping for an easy exchange and a working card!
Good card but has some quirks
Pros: Good solid feel. Heatsink is heavy construction. I do think it keeps temps a bit cooler. Overclocking provides good performance over another 6570 card I own.
Cons: Low Profile card, but comes with no interchangeable plates for low profile use. Less than a week old with fan speeds averaging 20-30% it has a strange fan bushing/brushes rattle sound that is very noticeable with my compact pc case. If you manually move up the fan speeds it goes away.
Overall Review: I like the performance I'm seeing with this card and the ability to overclock to a decent core speed is great. Good solid components with exception of the fan. The lack of the additional low profile bracket and the fan noise was a bit disappointing.
