Stephen,570=quieter more efficient 480, same cores, higher clock but less memory and less cost :) at $350-$300 (now and later) there is a bit more to it than that as at transistor level up its revised just like the 580 but its a great bargain for sureCant give you much more details but for a unofficial outline of whats coming (including the 590) untill kepler arrives...HereCheers!

I'm gonna buy this next week most likely - sounds like a pretty amazing deal if the rumored specs are true.

They're available on newegg as of an hour or so ago... I just pulled the trigger on the EVGA card. Saw a couple early reviews - faster than a 480, way less heat and power draw, way cheaper. Win. Will post a detailed review after it comes probably on Friday.

Thanks Ryan , I am waiting for your review for my final decision.

It's here!First ReviewSecond ReviewThird ReviewFourth ReviewTo Quote Hardware Cannucks:Taking a step back from the NVIDIA side of the fence, AMD’s own $400 HD 5870 is in a world of trouble when compared against this new Fermi powerhouse. It gets trounced at every resolution; especially the all-important 1920 x 1200 setting which is currently the “sweet spot” for many enthusiasts. If any of AMD’s upcoming HD 6900-series cards are priced at the $350 mark, they now need to outperform the HD 5870 by at least 30% with AA enabled to have any hope of competing against the GTX 570. For whatever reason, we do tend to see NVIDIA's cards loosing some ground to AMD's offerings at 2560 x 1600 with image quality settings set to max. The HD 5870 still can't beat the GTX 570 here but this has been a trend since Fermi's inception and for some reason, there hasn't been a solution offered up in any of NVIDIA's long list of driver releases. Granted, extreme resolutions isn't an area which the GTX 570 is meant to compete in but it is nonetheless something to take into account if you plan on splurging on an uber expensive 27 or 30 inch monitor anytime soon. Temperatures and acoustics are two areas where the GF110 absolutely excels and the GTX 570 continues this trend. NVIDIA has shown us that lower temperatures brought about by a high end vapor chamber heatsink have a profound effect upon the power consumption of Fermi-based products as well. The result is a quantum leap in performance per watt when compared to the 400-series products. This isn’t business as usual in the GPU business folks; the GTX 570 is without a doubt an exciting and completely enticing graphics card. What we have here is a near perfect mix of performance with a mouth-watering pricing structure. It’s a thrown gauntlet and we’re anxious to see if AMD answers the challenge.UnquoteBottom Line: New Performance to Dollar leader!Kind regards,

HardOCP gave it their gold award - I trust those guys, so I'm betting I made the right decision here.

I hope to get the post over to AVSIM as soon as I change formats, but for now anyone who want to see the comparison between the 480 GTX and the 580 GTX the results are now posted in the Orbx forums HereThere is also the continuation of the earlier tests on the 275 GTX vs 470 GTX vs 480 GTX vs 580 GTX that was started RIGHT HEREKind regards,By the way, in case you didn't guess, the 580 GTX wins! :Big Grin:

Just a warning everyone - you need a big power supply to run this. My Corsair 620HX doesn't seem to be enough - I'm getting random crashes in games and FSX with the new card. Gonna have to run to Fry's tonight and buy a bigger one (probably the 1kW)...

Are you sure Ryan? have you tried underclocking & undervolting to make sure it's a power consumption issue?

Not completely certain... maybe I'll just pick up a wattage meter thing that plugs in between the system and the wall and check it first.

Hi Ryan,For certain you do not have enough power. I found problems with the 480 GTX at 700 watts and broke it down into individual requirements and found that with my high CPU overclock and multiple drives that I needed at least 750 constant. Kind regards,

I've got a wattage meter between the system and the wall now monitoring the actual power usage... I haven't seen it go above about 450W yet while in the sim. Kinda starting to think something else is wrong here... Newegg's power supply calculator says 603W is the theoretical maximum for this system, so. Gonna try really thoroughly cleaning out the drivers and stuff now I think and just really make sure that's all correct.

To make sure I would monitor how much power the system draws with the 260 and the CPU overclocked vs the 570 with no overclock. The results should be pretty close. If the 570 still crashes, it's definitely not a PSU related issueIs there any relevant info in the event viewer about the crashes?

I think it was the drivers guys... I didn't do a full blown uninstall+Driver Sweeper cleaning when I installed the card. I figured that the fact that Nvidia uses a unified driver and that they've got a new installer that's supposed to do a better job of cleaning up after itself meant that I could just uninstall the driver, remove the 260, put the 570 in, install the latest driver for it, and go... Apparently not so. It seems to be working fine now after I went through the full cleaning process.The card is a beast in games that actually use the GPU - in Metro 2033 (sort of the "new Crysis" for testing graphics cards), I get 55FPS average on the standard benchmark that comes with it - with the 260 it was a total slideshow in the single digits. I just played World of Warcraft Cataclysm for a while without any problems either.It's gonna take me a bit (probably through the weekend) to evaluate it with FSX. My first impression is that leaving it at the same settings the 260 was at as far as Inspector etc, it's basically exactly the same. This is probably to be expected though from how CPU limited FSX is. I'm gonna mess around with some of the higher image quality AA modes and see if I can come up with anything that would make for a compelling reason for someone who only sims and doesn't play other games to buy this card.
