MSI GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC Video Card

Got this card over boxing week sale and man is it really a nice addition to my rig. Plateaued 60C with this card on load even with very little cable management. I love the twin frozr series and will be looking forward to purchasing another 1 for SLI.

Just like the pros and cons say.... the poor RMA experience I had with MSI involved a faulty motherboard I bought from Newegg. Instead of fixing it, they sent the same on back without an anti-static bag in a box that was too small for it and forced me to pay for shipping. So nothing against NCIX.As for the card, like I said it's everything you could possibly want. The only exception is that the twin frozr cooler blows the hot air around you case and forces your other case fans to exhaust it. Reference cards exhaust it right out the back of the case. That's a trade off you have to be willing to make if you go with the twin frozr cooling, though.I recommend buying this for sure :)

Bought this one open box, which might make people nervous but, I was not concerned due to NCIX great rep. Card is highly overclockable. Increased to 825/2000 no problems, peak temperature during benchmark 60 degrees. That's with manual fan at 60%. Really can't complain, runs BF3 at an average of 50fps with ULTRA detected settings. Nice job MSI

I upgraded my i7 920 system from an underclocked XFX 4870(stability issues) to this and it was quite a leap. Most games I can max out at 1680x1050 and get 60FPS with AA. BF3 beta went from looking and performing like the console version to straight stunning and smooth for the most part(beta game & beta drivers so some dips). I can't wait for BF3 retail and Skyrim with this beast.I also bought this card for the Adobe mercury playback engine for video editing in Premiere Pro CS5.5. Going from software rendering to realtime rendering the CUDA was insane, I've never had this kind of real time performance in my years of editing in final cut on a high end mac pros. I can work fast, playback normally inefficient codecs and make alterations and add effects and it just plays, no more make changes->render->watch, now it's just make changes->watch.I researched what card to buy quite a bit and I'm glad I went with this one, everywhere I read says it is the best GTX570. My old 4870 idled at 70 degrees C and under load was around 90, the msi GTX570 TF3 idles at 40 and under max load in BF3 it got to its highest temp of 63 degrees. Fan never goes above 60% at load which isn't that loud and at idle I can't hear it over my quiet case fans.Definitely Recommend

I bought this to replace my GTS 450 and it blew my old card out of the water. This is a great card with awesome cooling by MSI. I find it's very quiet and keeps low temps while running games at max.

Upgrading from a fairly dated card, the GTX 570 is most certainly a huge improvement. This card will run most any current game with High/Ultra settings at native resolutions. This model in particular, the Twin Frozr III, is a particularly good value for those who want to overclock without wanting to risk a water cooled system or the like. The cooling system on-board is second to none and comes highly recommended. For gaming enthusiasts without unlimited budget, this card is very much the way to go.
