NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Review - PAGE 11

how the *bleep* did it outperform the 5970 in batman? that just seems like it HAS to be some kind of hardware problem, not like it was supposed to happen...

I will look into that benchmark. It might be an in-game PhysX setting giving the NVIDIA cards an exaggerated score.

Updated. One of the settings was off. Thanks

Is part of these better temps to improved cooler? I see they use less power and I kinda want one. Not sure if it's really worth spilling cash over though.

Just debating if I should offload my 480 or get another one for liquid cooled rig.

The improved temps are 50% architectural improvements and 50% from the improved cooling solution. If you do upgrade you will get a slight performance increase along with better power efficiency and temperatures. An overclocked GTX480 would have the same performance as a GTX570 though, but of course that would increase the power of the already power hungry GTX480.

I know I think 850w psu is going to be a bit scant when I try this. Well if I get any bites it'll be an easy decision for me.

If you can sell your GTX480 and the upgrade is not that much it would totally be worth it!

oh 570 how I want a pair of thee...
