EVGA GTX 570 Classified Released

EVGA not only teased us with the GTX 580 Classified; they also made a GTX 570 version. While it isn't as impressive, this card features EVGA flagship craftsmanship.  This card sports a Display Port, HDMI and a pair of DVI headers for 3D Surround as well as a beefed up overclock 822 mhz core up from the standard 732 mhz core. The memory clock has also been bumped up a notch; 3902 from 3800. The card utilizes an 8+6 pin PCI-E power configuration compared to the stock 6+6, thus giving this card a good 300w to abuse; 75w More headroom then the standard GTX 570. A 6 phase power design is used for cleaner power delivery.  It also features a 10 layer PCB design and voltage read points. As EVGA would like to point out. It is 1337 certified!

EVGA High Flow Bracket Results

When the NVIDIA GTX 400 series video cards came out, people were shocked by the amount of heat these cards produced.  So EVGA came out with an inexpensive aid to these temperature issues, known as high flow brackets.  These little pieces of metal featured wider openings to allow more heat to escape through the back of the card.  The high flow brackets made their way onto the 500 series cards as well.  Below you'll see my own personal results using one of these and an EVGA GTX 480 video card.
