Out of all the NVIDIA GTX 570 graphics cards the ASUS GTX
570 DirectCU II surely belongs to the best. The high build
quality as well as the factory overclocking was able to convince us. ASUS custom
DirectCU II cooler also copes very well with the dissipation power the
card generates. Generally for the price one has to pay you really get a
very good GTX 570. |
