We'd like to thank Unigine for helping us set up their benchmarks.
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".
Since this card is only slightly overclocked, offering just 4-5% extra performance, there's no sense in providing its results along with those of the regular model.

Conclusions
Gainward GeForce GTX 570 1280MB "Phantom" is a very interesting product. Definitely an overclocker model with a very nice cooler. We managed to overclock it from the standard 750/1500/3900 MHz to 920/1840/4500 MHz at which it outperformed GeForce GTX 580. (We didn't provide these results on the diagrams due to lack of time).
This graphics card has only one drawback: it needs three expansion slots.
We express gratitude to Gainward for the provided graphics card. The PSU is provided by TAGAN, the monitor is provided by NVIDIA.
