ZOTAC GEFORCE GTX 570 GRAPHICS CARD

               The Geforce GTX 580 improved upon the GTX 480 by using less power, performing well, and running cool and silent. The GTX 570 is a cut down version of the GTX 580 with one SM disabled out of 16 and one less memory controller. So in contrast to the GTX 580’s 512 stream processors, this one has 480. The amount of video memory and bus width also take a hit. This card has 1536 MB of GDDR5 video memory tied to a 320-bit bus. The GTX 570 runs at a stock speed of 732 MHz and the memory is clocked at 950 MHz. The fi rst retail sample from Zotac sports Nvidia’s reference design and runs at stock speed. The cooler is based on evaporating cooling with a copper vapor chamber at the base of the aluminium heat sink. The rear panel doesn’t have a slew of video outputs; just a mini-HDMI connector and two dual-link DVI ports. The overall performance of this card is excellent. Crysis Warhead and Mafi a II ran 10 fps slower than on the GTX 580. At 1920x1080 in Enthusiast mode, Crysis Warhead was smooth at 42 fps and Mafi a II ran at 35 fps with all settings maxed out and PhysX set to medium. For Rs 21,999, this card is priced well and doesn’t pinch as much as the GTX 580.
