No. Turbo will up minimum framerates... So it may or may not affect average frame rates depending on what measure you use for central tendency. It will be different from simply overclocking as Turbo only needs to run at higher clocks, consuming higher power, for short bursts. This will allow a card to even sit at its "maximum overclock" and still turbo beyond that clock speed to reach a frequency at which the GPU could never maintain long term stability. It's a perfectly valid advantage and for any meaningful comparison you need to look at both cards at stock and both cards at max OC. And not by turning off a core feature of the GPU.

same photo but a bit more in focus,

The logo on the side looks like an infant applied it on with pritt stick.

Interesting stuff but i am not sure if this will work on a maxed out oc card. I would think nvidia will be placing some kind of limit on this. I really have no idea tbh but pushing something beyond its max when its already maxed could lead to plenty of failures. It certainly has me intrigued with the way you put it though.

It also looks like it has the new power connectors which are stacked...

The GTX570 looks very different.
What you'd do is have high frequency switching DC-to-DC converters under software control. When boosting clock rates it will also ramp up power. This can be done with varying the PWM signal's duty cycle for example. For short bursts this will maintain stability while running at a higher clock rate while also ensuring average power and average heat output are only minimally increased -- so impact on lifespan is also minimal. For preventing downward FPS spikes it will be a lot better than OCing. I tend to OC just to see higher minimum framerates (if your average framerate is too low then it's usually indicative of requiring an upgrade). This will be a lower average power/heat/noise way of minimizing those lows.
Look at the writing, it says GTX 570 TI
I must have realised that about ten times before it clicked.
Maybe it's just another Fermi revision. I heard they were bringing out a cheaper 560 to rival the 7770. Maybe they're going to rinse out one more time.....
Possibly, yeah.

Yeah, and I bet this is there big announcement too, NEW gtx 570 TI!.
Just for the lulz.
No way is that a 6. Zoomed in and there's a definite gap in the bottom, where there would be a full circle if that was a 6.
