GTX 560 Coming soon!

[Skratch]

you can get a msi gtx 480 now on newegg for 299 after rebate

Everybody is listing GPU= 900MHz, I haven't seen any 822MHz yet.

Is everybody OCin (even on crappy coolers ) or nVidia has moved up to 900Mhz?.

Same as the 460 launch: you have some AIB who have in addition of the stock model, allready 3-4 models OC ( lol, with some with +10mhz difference ). Nvidia lately with middle range gpu's like aggressive launch: - High visibility around Hardware sites ( as you will get plenty of models to review ) Plenty of different prices. Without saying AIB's have got a lot of time and models of the GF104, and know allready what they can do and what they can't do ( for custom coolers, they don't start from scratch ) ... At same time this give a lot of Competition between the different AIB's, and shop.. so low prices . So Nvidia is happy cause the card is cheap, and AIB are happy cause they can be more competitive ( Something AMD should allow faster with their models, AIB price/perf competitions on same GPU's is not bad at all, ofc if the quality is respected )

On the other hand, this let less time for reviewers with each cards, as they have a lot of test to run, and so it's hard to really get a real review of a specific models.. But that's a different story.

ASUS preparing to launch GeForce GTX 560 TI DCII graphics card

Yeah but it ain't gonna be a 3-slot design cooler for 560

already listed here http://www.pcgarage.ro/placi-video/a...-ddr5-256-bit/

[Johnny87au]

My statement remains correct, Going from 250-300 and no the 560 wont outperform the 6970

[xdan]

Well at 1070/1200(pretty easy) scores P5500( a little higher due the SB at 4.5ghz) in 3d11' and scores higher than a 6970 and a GTX 570 stock.
So i think that at 1050-1070Mhz it's almost equal to 6970.


So i think it's enough.
Probably at 270-280$ you will buy Hawk or SOC and with overclock you can get the stock performance of 6970 or GTX 570 for 70-80$ less.
And it's worthy because 6970 can overclock what 100-120Mhz?
So first signs are that GTX 560Ti is a great winner...Will see...
Ah, probably many will say that 6950/6970 are better because of the 2gb of memory in high rezolution and soo on...
Not true, to few people have 26-28" monitors to play at 2560*2048 rezolution, there are too expensive, 800-100$.
If you have that money, than you have money to buy a GTX 580 or a SLI of GTX 570 of CF of 6970.
So most of people use a 1980*1200 rezolution, and probably they don't use 8AA in all games.
So 2gb don't bring so much advantage, or may be if you can't use that advange why should you pay more?

[trinibwoy]

If these things overclock to 1000Mhz as easily as the 460 overclocked to 800Mhz I'll be shocked. Seems like a tall order.

still playing the fanboy here? Buy the card you need for the resolution you require, don't force it the other way around with OC and Fanboy talk! You can still choose the 6950-70 with 1GB memory i.s.o. the manually triple OC'ed 560, for only 30-40$ the hassle of oc, higher temperatures and power get real and for what able to reach the base performance of just a bit more expensive card (which on its own can also OC btw....)

If asus is going to 900 with there DirectCU version you won't see many cards with retail OC reaching 1000. Get real and quit comparing manually OC against retail performance, +95% of sales never OC any CPU or GPU. Only fanboys try to convince themselves they took the right decision. You'll get over that in a few years.

this is news section fyi where threads are created with launch, product information, scope and parts information. NV OC fanboy talk is here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...play.php?f=304

Its already happening.

I'm sure the default voltage is slightly higher on the 560 parts too compared to the 460.

Chill out, man!
You have stock at AMD or what?
Have you seen the GTX 560 prices? Don't speak before you know.
Here are some prices:
Asus GTX 560Ti Direct CU II(830/4000)-249$
Great cooler, overclock i think i know to do myself, i don't need to pay money for it.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...689&CatId=3585

Msi GTX 560Ti Hawk(880/4200)- 259$.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...406&CatId=3585

Gigabyte GTX 560Ti SOC (1000/4580)- 275$
More performance than 6950, probably close to 6970, 75$ cheaper.
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...162&CatId=3669

So MSRP it's 249$.
So you can say all you want Ti sufix wasn't put with no reason, anyway i say that GTX 560 it's what GTX 460 was at launch.
GTX 560Ti it's a 6870/6950 killer.

Also 6950 it's not such an cold card, i doubt that GTX 560 will have higher temperatures than 6950 even overclocked.
And for a reference price i get a custom cooler and pcb for GTX 560, cooler and more quiet than 6950 reference.

ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP

[Pantsu]

It's surprising Nvidia have managed to improve the clocks to over 1Ghz. AMD has been near that limit for a longer time yet haven't reached it with factory OC models, I think the new Sapphire Toxic 6870 is closest with 970 Mhz?

[Nerocz]

Inno3D 822 Mhz stock for 200 GBP:

Isnt it review day today?

[Vardant]

Wait for another hour and a half.

[duploxxx]

Chill out, man!
You have action at AMD or what?
Heve you seen the GTX 560 prices? Don't speak before you know.

Asus GTX 560Ti Direct CU II(830/4000)-249$
Great cooler, overclock i think i know to do myself, i don't need to pay money for it.

nice quote, don't speak before you know
I assume you already read 5 or more reviews about price/performance/power consumption at this point in time not to mention possible price changes after this launch which are very common for any vendor.

custom or reference coolers and OC is all about initial launch and vendor allowed or not, NV doesn't care these days all they care about now is grabbing lost marketshare.
again custom OC is not a reference, perhaps to you sure, but speak for yourself then as an OC fanboy, that is why exactly we need decent reviews, not fanboy OC talk.

its also nice that you link to an overview of load temperature only, are you really sure that you can handle OC yourself at all?

[Mungri]

Ok how the heck am I gonna be able to resist a pair of those Asus ones =D

I much prefer the look of the Phanton 570, but that thing is crazy expensive, but the Asus 560 looks fantastic as well - Black PCB + cooler with red stripes, more than perfect for my mobo. Also I want a nice matching CPU cooler after it arrives in stock:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=HS-000-BQ

Yummy!

[Jodiuh]

It better come w/ user replaceable racing stripes for those of us that bought non ROG Asus boards!

Hehe, I'm glad that they made it match the Rog boards, unlike the Asus 460 which had a black PCB and a horrible blue cooler.

wait for 28nm dont feed the golden arrow of consumption

That was pretty fugly. Not so much the color, but the shape. Red and black just reminds me too much of the painful 6870 experience. Shat card.

Too bad about it not being a triple slot though...was looking forward to ambient load temps.

[Mungri]

The OCUK price is too much, £230 for the non OCed Asus card!

I'm not buying it for that much.

I want to wait for 28 nm GPUs, and 22 - 16 nm CPUs. And the £230 price tag made resistance even easier

Too bad about it not being a triple slot though...was looking forward to ambient load temps.

That would have been nice, I can fit two triple slot cards on my mobo, but only the 570s / 580s have triple slot solutions. No Gainward phantom GTX 560s

power consumption at this point in time not to mention possible price changes after this launch which are very common for any vendor.

Price raising are common only for vendor Amd.
Remember 5850/5870

Just ordered Gigabyte Super OC, 1000 core, 2000 shaders, 4580 memory

man you pay too much attention to looks
focus on price / perf !!!

if i did i would never have bought my wonderfull 580 GooD with its crapy golden stickers and red pcb
