ASUS ENGTX570 DirectCU II Video Card Review
By
Our Test System
We carefully set this monster into one of our test beds and hooked it up to our 30″ test monitor. This test system is running a Intel i5-2500k ‘Sandy Bridge’ quad core processor at stock 3.3 GHz, 4GB of Corsair Dominator 1600 MHz memory, a 700 Watt OCZ PSU, an OCZ 100GB Vertex Limited Edition SATA II SSD primary drive running Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit SP1 with all updates applied. We used the latest Forceware 280.26 WHQL drivers for all GPU testing on the ASUS GTX 570 DirectCI II ENGTX570.
Note that the above readings were at idle.
For comparison we are going to use the following cards in our charts:
| Card | Memory Type | Core Clock | Memory Clock | Shader Clock |
| Zotac GTX550 Ti AMP! | 1GB GDDR5 | 900MHz | 1025MHz | 1800MHz |
| NVIDIA Reference GTX560 | 1280 MB GDDR5 | 810MHz | 1001MHz | 1620MHz |
