anyone have this Galaxy gtx570 and/or have any opinions on it

seems to be a decent price but that fan looks like it would struggle a bit. I HATE excessive fan noise and do not want a fan that needs to be cranked up just to keep a decent temp.

2 of the reviews on that link mentioned that the fans were quiet even under load

I had the dual fan gtx560ti and at the same fan speed setting, it was quieter than my twin frozr III gtx560. I know this isn't the info you were looking for, but for what it's worth the twin fan gtx560ti galaxy card was of good quality.

I have a Galaxy GTX 460 with a similar fan and it wasn't noisy, but it also wasn't quiet. I also have a Galaxy GTX 560 Ti with dual fans in another system, and it is quieter than the single fan version.

The KFA2 GTX 570 seems to be the same card under a different name. Review looks good. Innovative easy cleaning fan too.

"The KFA² overclocks very well managing to hit a very good 860MHz completely stable without any voltage tweaks. Almost more impressive still is how well the cooler manages to keep on top of things. The reference 5 series cooler from nVidia is no slouch, but the KFA² is amazingly even quieter and cooler. It's a majestic bit of kit."

alright thanks for the comments. and after reading that overclock3d review, I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger.

the card did go up in price by 15 bucks a few days ago but its still about as good as it gets after rebate for a gtx570. plus as of yesterday I see gtx560 and above cards now come with Batman Arkham City which I certainly want.

Yeah I saw that too. From the descriptions it sounds like Arkham City will have a nice little visual bump on the PC vs. Arkham Asylum. DX11 with areas of the game specifically tessellated for visual candy as well as the physx effects, which were well done in the first and hopefully more prominent in this one as well.
