Pros: Got this card hooked up to a 42" s0ny Br@via. Works great at 1080p res. No complaints from my upgrade because I no longer have to worry about sli profiles and lots of crashes with SLI. *Puts out WAY less heat than the sli 285s..this is the major reason I purchased this 570. *Games that make heavy use of GPU power benefit off of a powerful single card. *Temp does NOT exceed 70C. (285s would each hit 76C, that literally makes them a nice convection heater) *GPU fan is much quieter thanks to its new vapor chamber technology. *DX11 tesselation is a nice bonus and makes games look great. *Of course dont forget to register for EVGA's limited lifetime warranty. The first thing that I did when i opened up the box.
Cons: *Lower minimum framerates with AA on. Scenes with alot going on would bring my 285s with 4xAA down to about 50 fps..the 570 handles 4xAA pretty well but it goes down to 40fps. A noticeable difference, but really no need for 4xAA unless you'r obsessed with having high everything settings. *EVGA's 570 does not allow too much OC potential thanks to their cheap 4-phase Volt Regulator Module vs their competitions gpu's sporting 8-phase VRM. ---I have about a 3-5% OC depending on the game. No problems so far.
Overall Review: I must note that some people do not feel that upgrading from SLI cards to a 570 or 580 is worth the extra dough, but the temperature in my room went from stuffy to comfortable with the upgrade, and I still max out most games graphics..No complaints from me. Not to mention that if I so choose in the future, I can always pick up another 570! Intel i7 920 @ 3.8GHz OCZ Vertex2 60gig SSD COOLERMSTER Hyper 212 CPU fan. 3 CHannel ocz memory @ 1600MHz(7-7-7)
