PCI plate on 500 series identical to 400?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Quick question, is the pci slot plate on the 500 series cards identical to that of 400 series cards? I got my GTX 570 today in the mail, going to "officially" be allowed to stick it in on the 25th, , but I was allowed to get the serial no. to nab 3D Mark 11 from EVGA's site. Anyways, I nabbed a high flow bracket as well from EVGA, to see whether that would do anything in fact to the cooling performance. Comparing it to the schematic on the side of the box, it seems that the box schematic had the side length off by a bit, but I'm not quite sure. Anyways, basically I just need anyone that's had experience with both 500 and 400 series cards to confirm whether they have identical plates...help?

oh, and expect to finally see some sort of bench of my system up, lol. before and after the 570 of course 

EDIT :: Ah, how the heck could I have forgotten that my rig wasn't DX11, lol. well, i'll post up my scores after the mobo and gpu swaps.
