- Very good card is hard to believe that this was $509 and now $309 that's a very good price drop, i went from a defective 570 gtx to this one and they perform quite the same, however this card has more video ram and i feel better having this card i will sli it later, one of the things i like the most is the heatsink because the stock heatsink was quite bad from what i heard this one stays under 80 when gaming and about 40 on idle the best thing is that the fan is only at %44 so you can overclock this card.
- After comparing Nvidia cards for a new build, this one seemed to stand out. Although it's about one year old, it still smokes the newer GTX 560ti and performs slightly better than the 570. With 1.5GB of video ram, a hard to beat 384-bit rate, and dual fans that keep it running cool without producing excessive noise, I highly recommend this for any pc gamer searching for a solid video card solution.
