EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1572-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: -- Very fast, much more affordable than the GTX 580.
-- More practical to run SLI if you want than the $500+ GTX 580.
-- Has the cooling/noise solution of the more expensive GTX 580 (much quieter and runs cooler than my GTX 260s).
--Scored higher than twin EVGA Superclocked GTX 260s (core 216) 896 MB (look at other thoughts for score comparisons).
-- Lifetime warranty, best guarantee in the industry from EVGA
--Easy overclocking via the EVGA Precision tool (and you can set your own fan speed temp settings)

Cons: --Price if you can't afford $370 for a card.
--Requires a 900+ watt PSU(at least %80 efficency rated) to run SLI comfortably, so I'll have to upgrade to do so as most half to.
--Driver installation didn't work off the DvD, had to use Nvidia.com to get their drivers (Not blaming EVGA as I know there are alot of driver issues to work out, this may be one involving installation)
--I wish I could afford to buy two of them right now. :-P

Overall Review: Alright, so to put things into perspective I ran 3dMark Vantage before and after this card. Im running a core i7 920 @ 4 ghz, 6 gb mushkin ram, and was using two EVGA SC GTX 260s (core 216) cards. I didn't include CPU scores as I wanted to compare apples to apples on this synthetic benchmark

Running SLI GTX 260 (core 216 896 mb):
Graphics Score = 20083.15
Jane Nash Scene = 60.79 FPS
New Calico Scene =56.79 FPS

Running EVGA Superclocked GTX 570 (1280 mb)
Graphics Score =23163.64
Jane Nash scene=70.32 FPS
New Calico scene= 65.29 FPS

As you can see the gain was noticable, even upgrading from a SLI rig of overclocked (even over the overclock from EVGA) the gain was substantial with a single GTX 570. My system is running cooler (GTX 570 is running @ 38C as of this writing) and the sound is notably lower.

Crysis runs like BUTTER at 1920x1050 res with everything turned to max and 2x AA, in multiplayer I never drop below 50 fps, even in the hardest of firefights. Get

Pros: Card pumps out nice FPS for the Price. Runs at 39C at load.

Cons: I had some intermittent 'driver' failures where the screen would go black and recover after a few seconds. I tried all the drivers and knew that overheating wasn't the issue.

After some digging I noticed that the Core Voltage was set at the factory waaaayyy too low (988mV). I used MSI Afterburner to pump up this value to 1050mV and the problem went away. I feel that the card should work correctly out of the box and I'm concerned about my warranty now becoming void because I changed the faulty factory settings.

Overall Review: I'm not sure if I will buy a factory overclocked card again.
