As we’ve repeatedly noted in our reviews, regular overclocking is but rarely of any practical worth, but the GeForce GTX 570 proves to be an exception. It is only through overclocking that we could make that card deliver a playable speed in some tests at high resolutions: in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, Lost Planet 2 and StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty at 2560x1600 and in Dragon Age II and Crysis 2 at 1920x1080. So we guess overclocking your GeForce GTX 570 is worth considering if you’ve got a monitor that supports one of the two Ultra HD modes: 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 pixels. Playing at a nonnative resolution isn’t enjoyable while the faster graphics card may be unaffordable for some users.

Now we are going to add a few words about each graphics card we’ve used for this review. The Gigabyte GV-N570OC-13I features a quiet but effective cooling system, high quality of manufacture, and excellent overclocking potential. This GeForce GTX 570 has everything to win the customer’s heart, so we award it with our Editor’s Choice.
