Colorful Unleashes Its Overclocked GTX 570 Graphics Card

As we certainly have got used to by now, after every new GPU launch there comes a slew of partners announcement that introduce their latest graphics cards built around that core, Colorful being the latest to add its name to what seems to be an never ending list of GTX 570-based video cards.

However, unlike most models that were released into the wild, the iGame GTX 570 comes with a factory overclock, Colorful managing to differentiate itself from all the other GTX 570 solutions available out there.

As a result, Colorful's board comes with a 750MHz clock speed and 3900MHz memory speed, barely surpassing Nvidia's reference clocks set for the GTX 570 that are set at 732MHz and 3800MHz, respectively.

However, this should be enough to offer a small bump in performance to its users, although the speed increase certainly won't be as high as that brought by EVGA's GTX 570 SuperClocked, as that graphics card comes with a 797MHz clocked GPU.

In order to build the iGame GTX 570, Colorful went with a 4+2 phases PWM, 10 hi-C POSCAP capacitors, each phase being made up from low-resistance KK03920G4 MOSFETs and R125 chocks.

As far as the GTX 570 GPU is concerned, this comes with 480 CUDA cores, a 320-bit memory interface as well as 40 ROP units and 1.28GB of GDDR5 memory.

Although, Colorful didn't add any special software programs to its bundle (both MSI and EVGA offer a free 3DMark 11 Advanced Edition license with their GTX 570's), a mini-HDMI cable is provided making this ready to go solutions for those of you interested in building a 3D Vision enabled setup.

As far as pricing is concerned it's nice to see that Colorful doesn't charge extra for the small factory-overclock, the iGame GTX 570 being listed at a recommended $349.
