Testurteil: "8/10"
Test: Einzeltest: Gainward GeForce GTX 570 Phantom
Zitat: Graphics card partners have been handed a great opportunity with Nvidia’s latest round of GPUs, as it’s pretty hard to build a poor card around such a good GPU. Gainward certainly seems to be taking advantage, as the Phantom is a great example of a GTX 570 1.3GB. While the factory pre-overclock is measly, performance does improve marginally, but it’s the custom cooler that’s most useful here. Not only does it make the Phantom run cooler than a standard GTX 570 1.3GB, but it remained very quiet indeed throughout testing. Combined with the somewhat less efficient, but undoubtedly beefed up power circuitry, this makes the Phantom a very capable overclocker. Pricing for GTX 570 1.3GB cards hovers around the £290 mark for stock versions, so a custom-cooled, custom-PCB version for £15 more is a very fair price. While the more price-conscious should still consider a GTX 560 Ti 1GB first, the Phantom is a great choice for those looking at the next notch up in performance.
