Looks like my GTX 590 backplate... and goes nicely with my Samsung 830.

So how do backplates work i just thought they were there for aesthetic purposes only but i didnt realise they helped cooling. Does it have thermal pads on it to work like a mahoosive heatspreader or something

 

[Cyanide89]

It's not only for heat dispersion, but also to keep dust off of the components. Because we all know what too much dust can do... cause things to overheat. No dust, no extra blanket to keep that card cozy.

[Techie103]

A backplate would look so sexy with a new water block...

back plate for stock 570....

I'm air cooling I just want this for the asthetics, will it work without a waterblock (will it fit without a waterblock)

heres my card http://www.regard.ru/photo/shop/101182.jpg

 

[demonking]

i'm sure it would as the evga one for the 680 above is for the same purpose.

and your card is of stock design i think so this should fit

not 100% can someone else clarify
