14 DAY TRIAL // New graphics cards come out all the time, especially mainstream and high-end boards, and it looks like Gigabyte finished work on its newest addition to the Super Overclock series of adapters.
It appears that NVIDIA's 500 series of graphics adapters has not gone cold and probably won't escape the industry's notice for some time to come.
In this instance, it is the GeForce GTX 570 that received a new incarnation, courtesy of Gigabyte, whose employees managed to push clock speeds quite a bit beyond the normal parameters.
Of course, given that fact that the product bears the Super Overclock moniker, this is not surprising at all.
The revelation was made by the company when it added the official product page of the GV-N570SO-13I to its website.
As some might know, the GPU, shaders and memory of the stock board operate at 732 MHz, 1,464 MHz and 3,800 MHz, respectively.
The Gigabyte GTX 570 Super Overclock maintains the clock of the 1,280 MB of GDDR5 VRAM the same, but pushed the 480 CUDA cores to 1,690 MHz and the graphics processor to 845 MHz.
In other words, while the original was already capable of smoothly running mostly everything thrown at it, this creature will push frame rates even higher than before.
Of course, such a boost would not have been safely implemented without a suitably competent cooling solution.
The WindForce 3X is the cooler utilized, with a vapor chamber that optimizes heat dissipation and three ultra quiet PWM fans, as well as the same number of copper heatpipes. What's more, Gigabyte threw in Ultra Durable components when building the PCB, for extra stability.
Finally, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570 Super Overclock features dual-DVI ports, mini HDMI, mini DisplayPort and a memory interface of 320 bits. Sadly, the company itself did not step forward to provide any sort of availability or pricing information.
