GTX 570

[Matthias2437]

The only thing keeping me from finishing my newest build is deciding between the MSI Twin Frozr III 570 or the 3 slot asus DCU2 570, does anyone have first hand experience with either of the cards? If so could you give me your opinion on the matter. Even if you don't have first hand with the card still give me your opinions if you have one. Thanks a lot in advanced guys.

doesn't the DCU2 have the additional VRMs making it more overclockable?

MSI. I'm switching to this or 2 x 560 Hawks with the Twin Frozr III on them in the next few weeks. The Twin Frozr III is the best gpu air cooler around imo, best cooling and v.quiet giving you plenty of oc'ing head room before heat would become a problem, but because the 570 version isn't a hawk/lightning edition it's down to the silicon lottery as far as how hard you can push your gpu.

I think a card taking up 3 slots is very inefficent unless it's a dual gpu card, and only consider it if your not wanting to add another card down the line.

Just a heads up, if you're in the UK that is.
