Single Display Performance
Since we already know so much about the GeForce GTX 570 GPU we decided to just do some spot testing to see where this overclocked Galaxy GTX 570 MDT X4 model stood in relation to it. We ran through some quick tests in Battlefield 3, Dirt 3, Skyrim, 3DMark11 and Unigine Heaven.
The added clock speed on the GTX 570 MDT X4 did provide marginally better frame rates in BF3 at 1920×1200 while running at the High preset.
Dirt 3 saw very similar boosts.
Skyrim still isn’t the most GPU bound game in the world but the higher clock speed did result in a jump to over 48 FPS at 2560×1600 and Ultra settings.
3DMark11 definitely utilizes the GPU performance more directly and as such the results and scores are higher on the MDT X4.
Finally, in Unigine Heaven we see a nice jump of about 11% at the Extreme tessellation setting.
Obviously this is interesting information for our perspective but a casual user that buys this card to run a single display is obviously missing the point of the MDT line of cards from Galaxy. So, let’s see how a few games perform in the triple-panel mode!
Have you ever REALLY played a
Have you ever REALLY played a driving game? You’d never claim anything less than a VERY constant 60fps as the bare minimum if you REALLY had.
You’re reviewing the card, not promoting it for sales. Just do what’s right, not what you think might appease the people give you the card. In other words, for a driving game, tell us the settings you were required to back it off to in order for 60fps to be stable at whatever resolution you’re testing at.
Puts the rest of your article, your website and all your other expressed opinions in doubt when you do something like this.
Yah, actually I play racing
Yah, actually I play racing games quite often.
Thanks for your insightful input though.
Good lord, get a life. It’s a
Good lord, get a life. It’s a video card and a simple review. No one is going to die over it. I hate grievers.
I hope they continue this
I hope they continue this line and create newer versions that address the few flaws these cards have. If they can…I’d for sure get one.
It would also be interesting
It would also be interesting to know, how does the card behave in SLI in what concerns the total number of screens available.
In that configuration, would there be 5, 7 or 8 outputs available?
The Geforce 570 is a a great
The Geforce 570 is a a great card and the Galaxy is very quiet when compared to my other EVGA 570. Performance is outstanding and can turn a low end processor like an i3 2120 into a great gaming system
