The MSI N570 arrives in a very ‘space age' style box with the card presented next to a list of specifications.
With such a complex design, MSI are keen to point out all the benefits, which they do on the gatefold presentation inside.
Inside, there is a driver disc, product overview literature, a mini HDMI to HDMI converter, VGA converter and several power adapters.
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).
