Lol, after I ordered the whole 560 category disappeared form OC UK :)
Lol 5850-5870 are not really a good example, as it was coming from TSMC who was just not able to produce good yields on 40nm. there's a big difference with MSRP and some shop prices who try to get the most client possible on new product launch, and fight on prices, before going back to "normal prices then "Quote:

Hmmm... I've just been told we're selling these for ~£170 + VAT. A truckload of stuff got delivered this morning so hopefully they are in there somewhere and I can get one up on the bench.
I would get nothing done knowing that abomination of a video card lied inside my pc.Quote:

My current one is ugly though, I need to replace the silver bits with black :(
Same. Although it's time for a new case. This one's too big and too 2005ish looking. Something like the new Fractal ARC MIDI or Lian Li PC-9F would be nice.Quote:

@Giga GTX560 SoC 1G
This thing burn same amount of W as the GTX 480!!! :down:
Or more then 2x6850 in CFX if you like.:shakes:
Not sure where you read this or you might interpreted wrong, here are some real numbers for a sistem with SB+GTX 560Ti SOC...
http://lab501.ro/placi-video/gigabyt...overclocking/8
Just had a quick look at the anandtech review, so much for the 560 'significantly' beating the 6950 :shakes: I am looking forward to overclocking results though, that will surely be the strong string for this card.
It fits nicely into the market, but doesn't bring any considerable changes like the 460 or the 6870 did.
But also, from the anandtech review the 1gb 6950 seems to be on par with the 2gb in most games, even at high resolution :confused: Wish i had bought the 1gb now... although i bought mine for £220 at launch, and of course along with unlocked shaders... an easy 900 core and 1400 memory would be edging out a stock 570 easily. So i'll say my purchase is more than justified :D
Or 100W more then 6950 2GB.Quote:

Who was expecting 560 'significantly' beating the 6950?Quote:

It's how it works in maistream. What else did you expect, it should beat the 6990 to satisfy you?
The price of 560 is slightly lower too. This little OC-monster OCs greatly too. So why are you complaining?

That looks pretty significant to me. Why? Because once you game online, AMD's 6870 falls flat on its face compared to similarly priced Nvidia cards in BC2. At least that's been my experience...

A perfect conclusion from hardwarecanucks:
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-20.htmlQuote:
When compared against its immediate competition, the GTX 560 Ti simply steamrolls the HD 6870 1GB at the resolutions which most gamers use and even runs neck and neck with the higher priced HD 6950 1GB. These statistics may look great but its performance against the GTX 470 is what really shows the kind of strides NVIDIA has been making with their refreshed cards.
By now it should be obvious that a 2GB frame buffer just isn’t needed on a card in the sub-$300 market but what this seems to be lacking is bandwidth. Even though the battle between the HD 6950 1GB and GTX 560 Ti swings back and forth from one game to the next, the NVIDIA card almost always looses out in bandwidth limited situations. In our opinion, GF114 has the Cayman Pro beat hands down from an architectural perspective but it lacks a real finishing punch at slightly higher resolutions.
It is important to remember that high resolution gaming isn’t usually on the minds of people looking at $250 graphics cards. Because of this, NVIDIA decided to focus their performance aspirations towards gamers using sub-27” monitors and ended up producing a highly versatile product that posts absolutely impressive numbers at key resolutions. From a performance per dollar standpoint, the GTX 560 Ti even makes the $289 HD 6950 2GB look like an overpriced also-ran instead of a market leader. Even the launch of 1GB Cayman Pro cards does nothing to shake the feeling that GF114 is the right architecture being introduced at the great time with a highly competitive price. Sure, the HD 6950 1GB gives the GTX 560 a run for its money but the NVIDIA card still edges it out in the overall cost category, surefire availability and its ability to overclock like no-one's
hmm maby i should sell my XFX 6970 2gb and pick up a GTX560 instead, i game at 1920x1080 anyway and a less noisy card would be nice.
Anyone reviewing a Gigabyte SoC at this point is using an older version of the card. Gigabyte has delayed their card by a few days in order to fix high idle and load power consumption issues. Seems like some reviewers posted their articles regardless of being told about this. Shame.....
thats for you :p:Quote:

watch carefully the review, they differ a lot from one to the other.. just games used change the things completely.
