NVIDIA Releases The New Nvidia GTX 570

NVIDIA today announced the release of their new GeForce GTX 570 -- the latest addition to the company's GTX 500 Series of DirectX 11 (DX11) GPUs. The GeForce GTX 570 is meant to bring a new level of DX11 price/performance to the enthusiast PC gaming market. The card is available today from most of NVIDIA's add-in card partners including ASL, ASUS, Colorful, ECS, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, Jetway, Leadtek, MSI, Palit, Point of View, PNY, Sparkle, Zotac and others.

The GeForce GTX 570 features similar specifications to that of the GTX 480 but with a lower price at around $350. As the GeForce GTX 470 was to the GTX 480, the GTX 570 is essentially a cut down version of the recently released GTX 580. The GeForce GTX 570 boasts 480 CUDA cores, graphics clock speed of 732MHz, 4.5% higher than the GeForce GTX 480 and a shader frequency which was increased to 1464MHz.

The GeForce GTX 570 is paired with 1280MB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 950MHz (3800MHz DDR). Combine that with a memory interface of 320-bit and you get a peak theoretical bandwidth of 152GB/s.

Early benchmarks out the card pretty much in line with what we expect to see from a cut down GTX 580. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 runs slightly slower the the GTX 580 but it stomps the GeForce GTX 470 and runs at the same performance level as the GeForce GTX 480 for much less money and at a cooler temp.
