OC3D Review Nvidia GTX560 Ti

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.

Intel sign 1.7 billion dollar contract with nvidia so they can share tech so wouldn't think to hard on that.
 
Very good card... Probably about right for the price.

Hasn't made me feel bad about buying my 570 for £70 more.
 
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

But air also means something like the Arctic Cooling Accelero Extreme, but still bordering 1.2GHz, now that is a golden chip.
 
Tremendous review Tom. I'm so tempted to go up to a 560, but I'll have to go SLI to compete with my 460 SLI @ 820.
 
According to Linus, the 560 uses the same socket as a 460, which is why so many companies were able to release non-reference designs instantly.
 
I'm still curious how the 6970 oc performs effectively lower than the standard version in the crysis?? comparison.

There's a bit of fun to be had with these cards. I'd not view them with the intention of sli'ing them, although you obviously can, as they're in the wrong end of the market (similarly my thoughts to xfiring the mid range AMD cards). Double the bucks can be put towards a better single card option, without any anti-synthetic drawbacks, imo.

..no need to look at the over-priced, under-performing storage heaters with an nVidia badge.

It doesn't really matter, but saying this over and over isn't going to make it true. These underperformers broke all the records of the time. And were tamed by enthusiasts, post the review samples.

It's a nice little cooler the 560 ended up with. Tidy little package.
 
I'm looking forward to the the price cut of the 6000 series.

Here's more info.

Even if they do the gtx 560 ti beats it also and you can get a msi freezer version of the card or a gigabyte oc to 900mhz already for £200 so they have to drop the 6950 to what £180 to make it competitive which in turn they have to drop the 6870 to even lower which I don't see happening.
 
They will actually have to cut the price so the performance lines up, not in synthetic benchmarks, but also in gaming benchmarks, so a 6970 needs to drop down to a price that's comparable with a 560 if they want remain competitive.

Agreed Nvidia have become very aggressive and secretive but seems to be paying off. Wonder what the 530 going to be like if this is they way things are going 180 cuda cores at 1 ghz nvidia factory standards lol.
 
ah yes of course i had forgot aboout agter market cooling,altho i doubt there is one out yet?

The PCB layout between the MSI GTX460 Hawk and MSI GTX560 Ti Twin Frozer II, is virtually identical save for a few voltage tweaks that can be found on the 460 Hawk, which means the Twin Frozer ISN'T a Hawk/Lightning edition card, just has the same cooler. But since these two cards have very similar PCB layouts, I'm gonna take a stab that a GTX460 compatible cooler will work on the GTX560.
