Worth Upgrading Heavily OC GTX 470 to 570?

[Burdy323]

Hello, I am wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade my Heavily OC GTX 470 (888 Core Clock, 1776 Shader Clock, 2180 Memory Clock) to a GTX 570, which I would also overclock to these pretty extreme levels. Opinions would be greatly appreciated Thank you!

Probably not. Few people move to only one tier above. At stock the 570 only enjoys a 20% increase over the 470. Assuming you can OC them similarly (I dunno) then 20% really isn't worth upgrading.

Well I just scored 52.1 FPS in Heaven Benchmark 2.0- High Shaders, Normal Tessellation, 16 Anisotropy, and 4x AA at 1680x1050 Resolution, so wondering if this beats out a GTX 570?

well do those scores beat a GTX 480? Btw my GTX 470 is faster then my friends GTX 560 TI so im bassically running somewhere between 560-570

Alright I got 45 FPS Avg, Scores: 1135, Min FPS 11.2, Max FPS 96.1, and exact settings.. Guessing there's no reason to update xP

Also amd and nvidia will be releasing new cards the beginning of next year. Your card is currently one of the top performing cards as is so upgrading now (unless you are just independently wealthy) would be a waste of money.

Haha I unlocked my Voltage in the bios and made its max voltage 1187

And I was only thinking of updating because I could sell this card for the price of a GTX 570

if you can sell it for the price of a 570, then i'd say do it! better cooling on the 570 nowadays, so its definetely worth it.. otherwise, no. ive been stuck on this matter for about a month now. i think ill just wait until next series comes out and save the money i got for it for newer generation.
