With next generation graphics architectures still a good ways off, we’ve seen a steady stream of manufacturers introducing custom versions of current GPUs. Unfortunately these cards are meant as flagship products that make a bold statement so they are usually reserved for certain well-heeled consumers. This has led MSI, ASUS, Zotac and many others to introduced high performance versions of the GTX 580 while less expensive alternatives have -for the most part- maintained the status quo. Gigabyte on the other hand has broadened the reach of their Super Overclock series so it touches products at almost every single price point. In this review we will be looking at their GTX 570 Super Overclock which is meant to appeal to the large number of people who want high performance but just can’t justify spending more than $400 to get it.

The specifications of this card are about what we have come to expect after reviewing several other Super Overclock products. When taken together, the clock speeds aren’t necessarily ground breaking but they should contribute to reasonably higher framerates in most games. The core does however get a nice bump, making this version the highest clocked GTX 570 currently on the market but as usual, Gigabyte’s memory overclocks are completely MIA.

At around $370, the Super Overclock certainly isn’t the least expensive GTX 570 around either (reference versions routinely go for around $320) but its apparent performance and some additional features do make this premium justifiable.
