14 DAY TRIAL // Seeing as how new GT 440 cards are coming out, one would expect EVGA to have prepared something of the sort as well, but it seems the company is looking a fair bit higher, having created a new version of a 500 Series high-end board.
As end-users may have learned, the GeForce GT 440 card from NVIDIA has finally begun to reach the consumer market.
ASUS just a short time ago delivered its own version, while Palit was even faster, though its own board was slightly less mighty that that of the former.
Now, EVGA has come to offer some variety by revealing not an entry-level card for HTPCs, but a high-end adapter based on the GF110 GPU (graphics processing unit).
The product in question is a new GeForce GTX 570 and is dubbed EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD.
The unusual part about it lies not in its performance parameters or overall feature set, but in its video output options.
Basically, the newcomer boasts a DisplayPort connector, so that relatively new monitors may be supported, besides those featuring HDMI and DVI ports (the board has one and two of each, respectively).
For those that want numbers, the GPU works at a clock speed of 732 MHz, while the 480 CUDA cores and the 1,280 MB of GDDR5 VRAM operate at shader and memory speeds of 1,464 MHz and 3,800 MHz, respectively.
Furthermore, the product has a memory interface of 320 bits and should not be too expensive compared to the regular 570 models.
Selling for roughly $350 ($349.99), it implies a price premium of just about $10. Unfortunately, as is often the case with formal announcements, sales have not yet begun.
Until they do, those wishing to take a direct look at all available information need only drop by the official product page.
