Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570 (1280MB) Review

Benchmarks: Far Cry 2, Aliens vs. Predator

The GeForce GTX 570 loses out to the GTX 480 for the first time when testing Far Cry 2 at 1920x1200. Still with just a 6% margin Nvidia’s newest card was not a great deal slower. While it also trails the GeForce GTX 580 by a 16% margin, the card was able to trump the GeForce GTX 470 and Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards by a 23% performance margin.

Aliens vs. Predator
We used the custom DX11 benchmark for Alien vs. Predator as it's highly demanding. We played through a test scene in the same sequence every time for accurate results. The maximum possible visuals were enabled along with 4xAA/16xAF.

The GeForce GTX 570 did well when testing with Aliens vs. Predator at 1920x1200. With an average of 42fps the card was 17% slower than the GTX 580, but also 13% faster than the GTX 480 and 19% faster than the Radeon HD 5870. Meanwhile the aging GeForce GTX 470 was crushed by a 48% margin.
