OC3D Review Nvidia GTX560 Ti
- Thread starter tinytomlogan
- Start date
Those non-reference designs such as the MSI Twin Fozer, and Gigabyte 1GHz cards might even be able to nibble at overclocked reference 570s
deffo i reckon the twin fzr with some voltage help with touch 1100core speculation maybe but i think its possable especialy if they brought out a talon attack version

Tom are you gonna be reviewing any of the non-reference cards? Especially the MSI 560 Twin Frozer II?
Look at review on my last post it gets the same FPS as the 570 in some games

I seen stats that show non ref gtx 570 nibble at gtx 580's.
Thats normal with the lower cards. Its meant to be that way. end of the day you can then overclock the 580 soooooo......

Aftermarket cards I dont know yet but obviously when they release decent ones we will. Bloody stupid question tbh
I was just asking since a lot of sites already offer ones with aftermarket coolers, and I was wondering if you would be covering one of those in the next few days.

Agreed but the price difference between the gtx 570 and gtx 580 is large compared to the difference to the between the gtx 560 and gtx 570 what I was more getting at.

WoW. V good. Thanks. Ages ago, before I recently registered to your site I looked at the reviews I needed here. All of them are interesting and helpful and properly presented. I'm confident the 480 review i looked at was here, 480 drivers started a tough trail, now they're swimming. 560 ti hits high, Fermi is controlled qulity. Perfect for the bargain hunter and overclocker

I’m building a pc for one of my mates and I’m debating whether to go for the 6950 from scan for 227£ or the MSI GTX 560 Ti TWIN FROZR II 1GB for 203£, really confusing because the 6850 has 2GB of memory which is really good with high resolutions and I must admit this review has made me more confused.

Fantastic review. There's no reason to buy AMD cards at ALL. We want SLI! Or Maybe 3 monitor gaming?Are the 6950 and 6970 aimed just for eyefinity? Or high res? I can't see why they go with 2gb of memory each, while nvidia chooses speed over memory...it's interesting.
Theres a 2gb gtx 560 coming out.

I'm generally contemptuous of AMD fanboys, but lately I've gone from feeling sorry for them (SB kicks AMD butts and I doubt if Bulldozer is going to save them) to really worrying about AMD's survival going forward. They don't seem to have enough market share to support the R&D they'll need to do to catch up. But we kind of need them to survive, otherwise there is no-one to exert any pressure on Intel to keep prices low.
Real game changers come when a company invests HUGE dollars into a new fabrication process. Much of Intel's advantage comes from the ability to make 32 nm parts (though it seems that they also excel in other areas - what I call uncore architecture - cache and pipeline management, branch prediction and so forth.) Whichever camp first starts making GPUs based on a 32nm or even 22nm process is simply going to slay the competition.
Wouldn't you like to see a GPU with GTX 570 performance or better, a TDP less than 100 W, and with the overclocking potential we've seen with Sandy Bridge? That would be the logical result of a smaller fabrication process, and one could hope to see that on the market in a year or so.
I agree 100% I'm not biased to one brand over the other. I like people buying that product that is in the sweet spot...price/performance. But AMD has to keep the competition alot closer than this. If they can't compete in performance...they need to go back to what they do best, and thats competing in the mainstream price brackets. Start lowering the price of video cards until they become a really outstanding bargain. I think that is the only way for them, treat the video card market like they treat their cpu market. Mainstream bang-for-buck prices. I sure hope they come out swinging with bulldozer, as blah said we need AMD to keep Intel incheck, or else who is going to keep their prices down?
A lot of people are convincing me that the 6950 1GB is king of this range. I forgot that was coming out today also (hadn't heard much about it).

It's like $10 more than the 560 and overclocks seem to be even more beneficial to it than the 560.
http://3dmark.com/3dm11/500728 P5268 560 -but that's at 1050MHz. I don't feel like many 560s are going to be going much past that.
http://3dmark.com/3dm11/404347 P5690 6950 2GB (probably unlocked and overclocked, but still.)
there's not much 560 data to go on right now, and not much 6950 1GB data to go on, but from the 3dmark results search, 6950 results go way beyond anything the 560 results are showing.
So yeah, :[
Somewhat the opposite of what the review concluded with, but that's how it's looking. I know people will still buy Nvidia for things like PhysX though. I would/it's influenced me.

No panic AMD is not going anywhere soon. Thing with AMD and nVidia is that nVidia is more focused on GPU's while AMD is larger company with larger profits but as more development areas to invests those profits into.
Actually it's a good time to invest to AMD right now as share prices are fairly low and with introduction of bulldozer def gonna go up.

768mb yes
2 1gb PNY's for example would be around £266 shipped, but then u get into the argument of 2 cards vs 1 in terms of power draw and heat SLi scaleing etc
EDIT-just found this silly overclock on AIR Silly Overclock
shame there is no brand,but air is air lol
