An oldie, but a goodie. This Direct X 10 engine still looks great, and proves no problems for any of the cards in the performance graph. The N570 takes the top spot by around 5 frames per second, which might surprise a few people as this engine has always favoured AMD hardware.
They make great cards, although I read a thread on guru3d last month from some guy who bought a similarly cooled card and he said it failed on him in the space of a few weeks. maybe he got unlucky.
570 is a great price now, very competitive and faster than HD6970 at reference clocks.
I would probably still spend a bit more on 580.
My frozr card was running v ery hot. IO removed the cooler, and replaced the thermal paste. it fixed the problem. its a common factory related issue going on threads on internet. whoever is applying paste is not applying enough.
Nice. good price for a modified card too. I am happy with my 560 however. I only game at 1080p and dont worry about anti aliasing.
Good range of cards, never owned one, but the reviews are always positive. I would always change the thermal paste on a card before using it, as factory application is always garbage.
This is why I never buy XFX, because you invalidate warranty now by taking the cooler off. (stickers on the screws).
