We're sorry but there's a misprint in the diagrams. "GTX 570 1280MB, 800/1600/4000 MHz" should read "GTX 570 1280MB, 825/1650/4400 MHz".

Conclusions
Gainward GeForce GTX 570 1280MB "Golden Sample" Goes Like Hell is the best GeForce GTX 570 in the world. And probably the best buy in its class. It has it all: increased performance, quiet and efficient cooler, stability provided by improved power circuitry. It occupies two expansion slots and has standard length. Last but not least, it has all kinds of modern outputs.
But since this is a high-end solution, it's not cheap at all.
We express gratitude to Gainward for the provided graphics card. The PSU is provided by TAGAN, the monitor is provided by NVIDIA.
