Test: Inno3D GeForce GTX-570

Konklusion

Så skal vi have en lille sammenfatning af artiklen, og personligt mener jeg at Nvidia er tilbage! Sidste gang jeg anmeldte et Nvidia kort tilbage i Maj, var jeg skuffet, rigtig skuffet endda, bevares GTX-480 var bestemt hurtigt men til DKR 4000,- kan man få så meget andet. Denne gang er det anderledes, GTX-570 slår alle andre - lige så snart DirectX 11 slås til. Nu er der nok nogle derude som vil sige, at HD 5970 er hurtigere i de fleste tests, og når vi snakker DirectX 10 så er dette også rigtigt, men kortet er DKR 1400,- dyrere og sluger mere strøm, så er det virkelig det værd? Nej vel. Nogle vil nok påpege, at HD 6870 er en del billigere men dette korts DirectX 11 præstationer, er langt fra ligeså imponerende. Et af mine andre kritikpunkter omkring GTX-480 var den infame larm køleren lavede, men efter at have testet GTX-570 er det dog ligefør jeg vil kalde HD 6870 for et støjende kort. Balancen på grafikkortmarkedet er genoprettet, for første gang i over 1 år er AMD bagefter så jeg venter spændt på deres næste træk.

Innovation/Teknologi - 5
Den nye GT110 chip er måske ikke den største innovation, dette er nærmere bare en opgradering til hvad chippen originalt skulle have været. Ikke desto mindre er dette den mest advancerede GPU på markedet sammen med sin storebror (GTX-580), og dette alene udløser altså 5 point.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 4
Der medfølger en musemåtte, strømstik, adaptor, driver, en applikations CD, med key til 3DMark 11 og en trial til Starcraft 2. Ikke en enorm bundle, men ikke desto mindre synes jeg at denne fortjener 4 point.

Design/Layout - 5
Genialt, absolut genialt - dette grafikkort siger næsten intet under load, og man skal sidde med computeren på bordet, hvis man skal have en chance for at høre køleren. Derudover er der ikke en finger at sætte på kvaliteten, vi lander på en solid femmer.

Software/BIOS - 4
Nvidia driverne er utroligt stabile, kontrolpanelet er dejlig nemt at benytte, og er efter min mening, mere logisk opbygget og derfor nemmere at bruge end AMD's Catalyst Control Center. 

Ydelse - 5
Man kan diskutere om dette skal være 4 eller 5 - kortet er bygget til Tesselation og DirectX 11 hvor det også er genialt. I DirectX 9 og 10 er HD 6870 flere gange ligeså hurtigt, jeg vil dog holde stædigt fast på, at det vigtigeste er fremtidssikring og på den front er dette kort det bedste, jeg har haft til test. Der er tilgengæld også DKR 800,- forskel på de 2, så valget kommer jo også lidt an på pengepungen, men personligt ville jeg give de ekstra penge.

Pris - 4
For DKR 2600,- får man vanvittig tesselation og DirectX 11 egenskaber, samt et meget habilt kort når det kommer til DirectX 9 og 10. Jeg vil sige det således - hvis du ikke har brug for DirectX 11 understøttelsen, så køb et mindre HD 6870. Men hvis du vil nyde de nye DirectX 11 spil såsom Crysis 2 så meget som det kan lade sig gøre, så er dette vejen frem.

UK summary

Time for a small summary of the article, and personally I believe Nvidia is back! Last time I reviewed a card from Nvidia was back in May, and I was quite disappointed back then. Of course GTX-480 was fast, but with a price of DKK 4000,- you can get alot of other cheaper stuff. This time it is different and GTX-570 beats everyone else as soon as DirectX 11 is turned on. There are probably a lot of people out there who will say that HD 5970 is faster in a lot of the tests, and when we are talking DirectX 10 this is correct, but the card costs DKK 1100,-  more and eats alot more power, so is it really worth it? No, I do not think so. Some will point out that HD 6870 is a lot cheaper, but it is at the cost of DirectX 11 performance compared to this card. One of my other complaints regarding the GTX-480 was the noise from the cooler, but after testing GTX-570 I will almost say HD 6870 is a noisy card. The balance on the graphics market is restored, and for the first time in over a year AMD is behind now, so it will be very interesting to see their next move.

Innovation/Technology - 5
The new GT110 chip might not be the biggest innovation. This is more of an upgrade to what the chip originally should have been. None the less this is the most advanced GPU on the market along with its big brother (GTX-580), and this alone gives 5 points.

Bundle/Accessories - 4
It comes with a mouse mat, powercable, adapter, driver, an application CD with a key for 3DMark 11 and a trial for Starcraft 2. Not a huge bundle, but I do think it deserves 4 points.

Design/Layout - 5
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. This card is almost completely silent during load, and you would have to sit with your computer on the table, if you want to hear the cooler. There is not a finger to put on the quality. We will land on a solid 5.

Software - 4
The Nvidia drivers are incredibly stable, the controlpanel is easy to use and in my opinion more logically built and therefore easier to use than AMD's Catalyst Control Center.

Performance - 5
One can argue if this should be 4 or 5. The card is built for Tesselation and DirectX 11 where it is nothing less than brilliant. in DirectX 9 and 10, HD 6870 is just as fast on several occations. I however do believe that it is important to think ahead, and when it comes to that, this card is by far the best I have tested. There is however, also a difference in the price of DKK 800,-,  so the choice also depends on your budget, but personally I would give the extra money.

Price - 4
For the price of DKK 2600,- you get insane Tesselation and DirectX 11 abilities, plus a very solid card when it comes to DirectX 9 and 10. I will say it like this, if you do not need the DirectX 11 support, then buy a smaller HD 6870, but if you want to enjoy the new DirectX 11 game like Crysis 2 as much as it is possible, then this is the way to go.
