14 DAY TRIAL // NVIDIA may have released its newest Fermi-based video card just a short time ago, but it appears that its partners made haste in bringing out their own models as well, something KFA2 just enforced.
According to some, NVIDIA's GeForce FTX 480 and GTX 470 did not sell in monumental quantities, because or their heat generation and power consumption.
Now, however, NVIDIA can safely say that not only do its GTX 500 series not have these issues, but they have a much higher performance to boot.
The second GTX 500 card, dubbed GTX 570, only yesterday, December 7, was unleashed upon the enthusiast level of the consumer market.
Needless to say, companies the likes of Club3D, EVGA, Palit and Zotac, among others, swiftly revealed their own products, some even bearing overclocked GPUs, shaders and memory.
Now, KFA2 has been added to this list of NVIDIA partners, as it has also completed a stock-clocked model of its own.
Like the original, it is based on the GF110 graphics processing unit, has 480 CUDA cores, 1,280 MB of GDDR5 VRAM and a memory interface of 320 bits.
The graphics processing unit runs on a clock speed of 732 MHz, while the shaders and memory are clocked at 1,464 MHz and 3,800 MHz.
This places the memory bandwidth at 152 GB/s and the texture fill rate at 41 billion/s.
Needless to say, DirectX 11, PhysX, CUDA, 3D Vision Surround and SLI (for multi-GPU setups) are all supported technologies.
“The KFA2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Graphics Card is going to hard to beat with in the price Vs performance segment,” Said Graham Brown, European marketing manager.
“With little difference in overall spec compared to its big brother the GTX 580, this cards brings a whole new meaning to a high-end cost effective solution,” Brown added.
Online vendors should already have this product listed for a price similar to that of all its competitors, namely $350.
