5 – ASUS GTX 570 DirectCU II Gaming Tests
Synthetic benchmark are cool (from a developer point of view) but many readers are not developers and then wish to see benchmarks based on real video games. I mainly used benchmarks included in game demos and then, dear readers, if you know other game demos that include a benchmark, just let me know.
In this review, I added a new gaming benchmark: MAFIA II.

Remark: the GTX 570 ahead of the GTX 580? Certainly an optimization in the recent drivers R266.58 (if so, I have to re-test the GTX 580) or a wrong reading of the score…

nice card..makes my GTX470 worth peanuts now 🙁
I think you should test this card with EVGA OC Scanner (the one I modified) just to check the real artifact-free OC.
Pingback: GTX 570 overclocking thread - Page 47 - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
hi.. i wanna buy this card..i got a core 2 quad 3.0 ghz.. i have a 750 watt antec power supply.. will it be okay ?
Is it normal that my card when it pass the 60% fan speed (with afterburner) it start to make a loud noise?? :O
But there is Nothing In the fan…
What should I do??
Mark Lev yes youre setup will run this card.
Wisico youre card is probebly geting hot and protecting the GPU or you got dust in there.
🙂
Is the Asus better than the GTX 570?
what are those slots on the front with the plastic covers?
should I connect them to anything?
I got a small flat cable with my card
but I dont understand where to put it?
plese help!
thats the sli connector – only used if u run 2 cards or more
I’m not sure what I’m missing here. I recently got my hands on one of these cards and knew it was going to be a true force to be reckoned with. While playing Skyrim with the high res pac I get jumpy frames 60fps-0fps; Yet my hardware isn’t even trying! (the fan speed stays the same and the temp never rises) I’m confused why it’s holding back! I’ve played Crysis 2 DX11 and Arkham City on full specs without a problem – why little DX10 Skyrim has low frames I’m baffled. I was going to save the benchmarking until I was able to finish my build off with 8 more gigs of ram and an SSD but the recent speedbump in gaming brought me to it early. I was astounded how low I was ranking, to say the least. >=( Furmark was the first and I’m about to try unigine and 3dmark and probably be twice as disappointed.
I was wondering how the numbers here and on every other benchmark were attained with less of an overclock than I even have, when I haven’t touched overclocking yet since I wasn’t worried until now! furmark put me at just over 2,000 (36FPS) >=(!!!
Hardware: (everything @ stock specifications)
i5 2500k @3.3GHz w/ a Zalman fan cooler
Asus P8Z68-V Pro mobo
2 4GB corsair vengeance @ 9-9-9-24
1080W PS
>>>And yes, I forgot to mention, I have the updated drivers. Even the Nvidia one specifically for the Skyrim high res pack.
Hello nick, dont have any experiance with your card, but running skyrim on full specs with all the GFX and hi res mods, on a setup less powerfull than yours. The only thing I had to do is patch the main executable so it allows more then 2GB ram usage. Try doing that there are guides online, let us know how you get on.
Thank’s! please add Assassin’s Creed II Gaming benchmark!
Thank’s Again!
