Ah, so this is the new 560, not to be confused with the 560 TI, not that that should be confusing in any way

*begins to read*

Good card, I just found a 560 DirectCU II for £167.99 but the MSI Twin Frozer II 560ti is only £175.99, personalty I would go with the ti.

Nvidia have done the same thing as they did with the 450 and the 550, they have just made another version of an already existing card.

It's not really a bad thing but first we had the Nvidia 550 and AMD 6790 releases which apart from the water cooled version of the 6790 are no better than cards that only cost a few quid more and I feel like this is the same thing all over again. Saying that though there is also the normal DirectCU version of the 560 for only £155 so that is not to bad, still, it would have been nice to see a new card slightly better than the 560ti rather than one slightly less better.

This card is essentially a rehashed GTX460 with a few optimizations made for DX11.

The 560 Ti is in such a sweet spot, why bother without the Ti. I guess with the 5xx series months/years in the works, the product line's performance jumps seem crowded now they've pushed them into production.

Personally with the fact that you can get gtx 570 for £240 why bother with a gtx 560 ti its comparative less powerful for what maybe spending £50 less.

Looks like a great value card

. Well written review as always from you guys

As Zeals said the card is a repeated 460 with dx11

if this stayed at usd$200 instead o upping the price for custom cooler and whatnot itd be nice but paying more then 200 you could just go for a ti (usd$250)

well if you look at my gtx460 1gb top review http://forum.overclock3d.net/index.php?/topic/33283-asus-gtx460-1gb-top/page__p__391392#entry391392

it does give 5-10fps boost in games and big difference in 3d mark scores

The 460 is already a dx 11 card.

Just to confirm to you all, this card is not a rebadged 460....

Sorry to bump an old review
