Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti Review: GF114 Rises, GF100 Rides Off

[cangelini]

GF100, your services are no longer required. Nvidia’s GF114 GPU displaces the last card based on the company’s 3 billion-transistor chip using fewer than two billion transistors. It’s amazing what a little optimization can do. Welcome, GeForce GTX 560 Ti.

Some areas could be improved, but this is still pretty decent. Just lower the price 50 dollars please Nvidia and I will buy 10 of them.

Wow, it's not as powerful as I expected with that kind of energy use.

Please don't let me go away from Tomshardware because the disapearing of Print View Mode. If there is an official anounce about that please give me the link. In Indonesia internet is so slow and expensive. That way the print mode is so much help. I open an article, klik print view page. I go watching TV, eat, drink cofee, etc. About 10 - 20 minutes later the acticle is completed. I just save as mht for feature need (personal use). Lastly I read it.
Btw TomGUIDE still have this print page view. Why only in Tomshardware the button is missing?
Sorry for my OOT.

Either way, my conclusion on the GTX 560 Ti doesn't change. It still doesn't present me with the overwhelming urge to upgrade. AMD's cards simply look better in comparison, based on their performance.

FAIL

6950 is really better than a GTX560Ti, and consumes less power.Gigabyte's 1Ghz card is interesting.If it has the performance of a 6950 at $269, AMD'll be forced to reduce the price (again)

 

[anacandor]

I'd love to see some more benchies on that Gigabyte card like noise and temps, for only $20 more it seems like a steal!

I waited to see what this card was going to be like but it feels more like a rebranded GTX 460/470 as far as performance so I'm just going to skip the GTX 560 "Ti" and go for the GTX 570

So can the 6950 1GB be unlocked to a 6970? If not, I'm not sure it has the value the author mentioned, not when compared to the 2GB 6950 which comes with the free upgrade.

 

[cronik93]

I think it was a good choice for he AMD to make a 1GB version of the 6950 to compete with the 560.

 

[leiuno]

what is "unshorn" ?

 

[wolfram23]

Can't wait to see what the next gen can do when I may be upgrading... but still, the performance increases over last gen are pretty impressive, and the price/performance ratio is way better now too

 

[Onus]

I've been waiting for this. Bummer though, I was really hoping for a single PCIE power connection. Oh well. It looks like the most powerful card out there with only one is the HD6850.

[citation][nom]leiuno[/nom]what is "unshorn" ?[/citation]
Unshorn = not sheared, e.g. used to describe sheep before their fleece is harvested. Or, in this case, a graphics card without some of its circuits cut out.

 

[scrumworks]

That 20 1GB Radeons is only for that single Sapphire model. XFX currently has two 1GB models 20pcs each and I'm sure others follow soon. And that's only at newegg.com.

 

[Anik8]

This is chickenshit with everybody blindly slamming the gtx 560.IMO it performed reasonably well and is at par with the 6950.
Moreover the card has exceptional overclocking headroom and the OC charts are simply overwhelming.

 

[Tamz_msc]

If this drops to 220$ or less in a couple of weeks, AMD will have no answer for it.

 

[jprahman]

Wow this kinda sucks, I built my LGA1156 i5-760, 2xGTX 460 rig three months ago. So now because of the Sandy Bridge launch and now this it's already obsolete.

 

[rohitbaran]

Well, it doesn't help bring the price of Radeon 6950 any lower. Once AMD launches the 1 GB version of Radeon 6950, this card will be in trouble.

 

[rohitbaran]

I also visited the nVidia website. From the looks of it, Crysis 2 will be a TWIMTBP title. Sucks.

 

[megamanx00]

Damn, the 560 is pretty amazing for the price. This is what the 460 should have been, but that would have put the 470 in a tough spot and made the 465 even more of a lame duck .

Nice the see the 5870 is still up there. Good show 5870, good show

 

[oldmangamer]

Lots of overclocked GTX 460 product on the market that is cheaper and faster than this unit. Nothing to see here, folks; move along.

 

[Tamz_msc]

With performance nearly equal to the HD 6950 1GB, excellent overclocking potential, great thermal and acoustic performance, the GTX 560 Ti is an excellent choice, probably the best under 250$, though I feel that NVIDIA could have priced it lower.
