Nvidia Preps GF110-based GeForce GTX 560 Ti‎ Upgrade

[tomfreak]

I honestly cannot see any reason that they should come out this chip, because the performance between a 560Ti vs 570 is pretty close enough. IN fact quite a number of pre-overclocked 560Ti could come almost as fast as 570.

The only explanation would be, after so many months of manufacturing large low yield GF110, they got enough broken GF110 chips that couldnt meet 570 Spec. So instead of wasting it completely they gonna milk it and sell it to consumer, Same case for GTX460 SE.

Looks like anyone who bought this chip is gonna get scam like GTX465. High power consumption, medicore performance Might as well buy a highly overclocked 560Ti.

Interesting, how can one buy a card a year and a half ago that hasn't even been out for a full year yet.

It may be a good card but price and TDP is too close to the 570. I'll prefer more powerful 570 or amd 6970 over this 560ti.

[citation][nom]soo-nah-mee[/nom]Interesting.It was between the 560ti and the HD6950 for me.Now I may have to wait.Although unlocking the 6950 into a 6970 is still oh so appealing![/citation]

And then when its released, the next card expected to fall in that price range will be announced and you will decide to wait for that one. Then one day you wake up, your 10 years older and you finally realize that you will never win!

I really early preorder?

The publication reports that the new 560 Ti will essentially be a 570 with 14 (and one disabled) streaming multiprocessor with a total of 448 cores, up from the current 384. It is more than likely that the clock speed will be below that of the 570. Expect to see the 320-bit memory interface with 56 TMUs and 40 ROPs.

Isn't that just a GTX470 at lower power?

The good thing about the current 560 ti's is that you can overclock them like crazy, tbh, my 560 ti is outperforming a 570 on air right now.

" It will also mean a drop of the current GF114."

This could either mean:
1. they're stopping production of the GF114,
2. they're dropping the price of the GF114

which one is it?

 

[funguseater]

Why not just brand it as 570 TI ??

 

[soo-nah-mee]

[citation][nom]funguseater[/nom]Why not just brand it as 570 TI ??[/citation]That would imply a better card than a 570. gtx560 < gtx 560ti
I think gtx560ti+ would be a good name.

 

[silverblue]

GTX 560 Ultra?

 

[iam2thecrowe]

? this is stupid. its going to be a more power hungry card with no real performance increase. the 560ti is close enough tho the 570 as it is. There is no room for an in between card here.

 

[roscolo]

Well, I've been waiting for a deal on a 560 ti. Figured Black Friday might be it. May just have to wait on this bad boy instead, if it's coming out soon.

[citation][nom]jenesuispasbavard[/nom]I have one too, and, with the release of this new 560Ti, the old one's prices might drop, which means SLI for me, finally.[/citation]

That is a brilliant point!! Now I don't feel that bad anymore

 

[neon871]

[citation][nom]jl0329[/nom]Damn, I just bought a 560ti. T_T[/citation]


Don't feel too bad I just got 2 MSI GTX550 Ti's not too long ago.

 

[hetneo]

[citation][nom]Katsushiro[/nom]So they're going to call it what? A GTX 560 GTi? A GTX 565? Surely they won't leave the name the same (like the GTX 260's upgrade).[/citation]
They will leave the same name.

 

[hetneo]

[citation][nom]badwolfbri[/nom]" It will also mean a drop of the current GF114."This could either mean:1. they're stopping production of the GF114,2. they're dropping the price of the GF114which one is it?[/citation]
Or they might have problems with production of GF114

no you didnt. 560 wasnt released to late january of 2011. you havent even had the card for half as long as you claim

 

[verbalizer]

what if you have SLi GTX 460 TwinFrozr II Hawks.?
I'm looking to upgrade but to a single card first.
I'm still thinking GTX 570 over this though.
when is the GTX 6-series coming again.?

 

[Guest]

so they can finally sell the not so high quality GF110's
(the ones than that can't be 580's or 570's)

 

[aberkae]

Southern islands please! I think even the 1st low end chips will compete with this and consume less power, and oc way better!

 

[lpedraja2002]

Yeah bring the new graphics card! By the time I upgrade my 8800gt I will be able to buy a GTX570 for the price of dirt lol!

 

[amk-aka-Phantom]

This is VERY annoying... I already have troubles finding a proper 560 Ti to SLI with mine, and these new 560 Ti's might replace the old ones entirely. As for the names confusion, well... what do you expect? nVidia waited till EVERYONE was comfortable with calling a GTX 560 Ti simply a "GTX 560", then released a card named exactly that - GTX 560 - and produced tons of confusion (70% of the "New Build" threads have that mix-up). Now it's gonna be even worse.

I suggest calling it GTX 565 Ti to avoid mixups.

 

[verbalizer]

Don't feel too bad I just got 2 MSI GTX550 Ti's not too long ago.

for god's sake why those in SLi.?

[citation][nom]de5_roy[/nom]a new gtx 560 ti upgrade vs amd's 28 nm radeon hd 7xxx cards... i choose radeon even if they're unreleased.[/citation]

That's what Nvidia's doing. It alows AMD to release the cards first and then releases its own cards which are tweaked to compete with the Radeons.That's what happened incase of the 6990 and although Nvidia claimed that the GTX 590's power consumption is lower than the 6990, this didn't prove to be true.That was also the case with AMD's 5870. As Nvidia claimed that their 480 handled tessellation better than the 5870, ignoring the fact that it was released six months before the 480. The only reason that might compel me to buy Nvidia is the PhysX acceleration (I'm thinking of the GT440 as a dedicated PhysX card). Other than that, their cards consume more power and cost more money than their Radeon counter parts. I generally have more respect and trust in AMD's GPUs than I'll ever have for Nvidia.
