GTX 560 Coming soon!

[Oztopher]

Just had a quick look at the anandtech review, so much for the 560 'significantly' beating the 6950 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 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

This is for you "not beating"...

This is for you "not beating"...

This is HD6950 beating hard 15%, in Metro2033, Stalker and Mafia II

Who was expecting 560 'significantly' beating the 6950?

nVidia did a really good job and, I didn't dare to hope it yesterday, but with these results, 560 has a slightly upper hand over 6950-1GB in performance/OCin/power-usage for most gamers (on 24"). But these differences are not so big, to make a big blow in mainstream marked.
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?

A perfect conclusion from hardwarecanucks:

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.

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