GTX 560 Coming soon!

[saaya]

I think nvidia expected amd not to expect a card to top 480 so soon. So yea in that sense they knew amd were going to beat the 480 and they had to beat it by a good margin to hold the 500$ fastest single card position. amd probably expected a new top end card from nvidia maybe sometime late Q1 2011.

oh yeah, definitiely... and i cant believe amd was so arrogant and ignorant to assume nvidia would just stick its tail behind its legs and sit in the corner... i mean ffs, this is nvidia... they are VERY good at coming back once you place a nice hit on their head...

Check the review I linked, or pick one at random like I did for the sonic platinum or any other similarly clocked 460. Those lil chips fly when clocked like that.

As for how the GTX560 will clock, no one really knows that answer except NVidia; but if they got the GF110 treatment in terms of their new transistor method, then it should clock better than the GF104 I'd think. You can see in the GTX460 overclocking thread in the nvidia forum how far they go; A LOT of people breaking 900mhz on air with no problem.

I don't think it'll make GTX470 owners cry or anything, but considering most of us expected a fully unlocked GF104 to be released as a GTX475 I'd be in shock if this thing doesn't run all over the GTX470(as well as the 6950). We'll know for sure next month.

would be great but i dont think itll be a lot faster and cheaper than a 470...
and yes 460s fly when clocked high, so does any other card :P
and the 460 ocing a lot more than other cards is a myth seeded by nvidia, it actually only clocks a few percentage points higher than any other card.

except for the 6900 series, they dont seem to clock for SHT!
anyways, will the 560 replace the 470? theres no doubt about it... is there?
will the 560 beat the 470? definitely!
EDIT: will the 560 beat the 470 at high res and aa? i dont think so
will the 560 be cheaper? unlikely... 200$ is the lowest point i see for gf114 during its lifetime which is only 50$ below its launch price and a 470s current price.
so will the 560 have a better cp ratio than a 470? yes, but insignificantly...

and come on people, theres a lot of wishful thinking in this thread...
you really believe a fully enabled and well clocked gf104 (gf114) can match/beat a maxed out 470? the latest 470s beat 480s and 570s when maxed out so think again before you say yes...

cause a tweaked, boosted, overclocked 460 will rock, but it wont reach 480/570 performance...

then again, never say never... if it would, it would be damn impressive and i might actually get one

EDIT: think about it again, if a fully enabled well clocked 460 could beat and replace the 470, then why, i ask you, has nvidia not released such a card?
instead they kept the 460 castrated and lowered the price of the 470 to fill that segment, a part that costs them a lot more to make then a 460...
