The GTX 570 has a lot of competition from rival products, but this card is said to have a speed increase of 128% when running with Direct X 11. Reviews have already started to appear, so let us see how well the card does.

HardwareCanucks points to the fact that NVIDIA are not content with having the 580 high-end market sewn up, so thought they would do the same with another price point as well. This review picks up on the fact that the GTX 570 is around 25 percent faster than that if the 470. Read the full review here.

One of the most extensive reviews comes from Tom’s Hardware, which consists of 15 pages. Trying to points out some of the key facts from this review is hard, but in short it is a much better option than the 480, as it is faster and a more affordable option. The full review can be read here.

HotHardware has a 12-page review and is one of the most informative, as it looks at how well the Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 performs running a few graphic hungry games, such as HAWX and Quake Wars. HotHardware seems to have some varying results with the 570 compared to the 480, saying that performance of each card depends on which game was played. They loved how quiet and fast the card was but did not like how power-hungry and how hot it got. Full review here.

So there you have, three reviews with varying results, now you have the tough choice to make. Will you be buying the Nvidia GeForce GTX 570?
