Is it a coincidence that it is around Halloween and ASUS would send us a wolf in sheep's clothing? The GTX 570 DirectCU II is a triple slot cooling monster with a sheepish factory overclock and sexy sweet looks. Sure it is massive and looks good but how does it perform? Legit Reviews throws it onto our test bench to find out if giving up three slots allows us to overclock this sheep into a wolf.

ASUS comes to play and brings its monster cooling costume to the party. They really have a winning solution in the DirectCU II design and it shows in the tests and especially the overclocking ability of the ASUS GTX 570 DirectCU II. We loved the feel of this card both in the mass and the solid aluminum fan shroud, no plastic here..
