HardwareZone‘s review Edit Like Unlike

On a whole, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is an extremely compelling offering from NVIDIA. For its price, it offers blazing fast performance, outstanding overclocking potential, and runs reasonably cool at load. Our only misgiving is that its power consumption figure was on the high side.

In closing, two GeForce GTX 560 Ti cards in a 2-way SLI configuration is a formidable combination. What this really means is that users can get themselves a GTX 560 Ti and rest assure that in future, more graphics power can be gained simply by adding an additional card to the mix. A side note for this to materialize is that one should already have an SLI capable board with decent bandwidth per PEG slot.

The GeForce 560 Ti is indeed the card of choice for Direct X11 games, and my guess is that as new DX11 titles roll in with native support for tessellation (instead of an “afterthought” in most many games), the value of the 560 Ti will only become more obvious. If you care only about today’s games, the competition provides some interesting options. This is a solid product, and if you are in the intended target (owner of an old card), GF560 Ti it will rock your world.

NVIDIA’s latest salvo of updated Fermi-based GPUs is very strong products at their respective price points. The GeForce GTX 580 is the fastest single-GPU available, the GTX 570 is very strong in its segment, and the new GeForce GTX 560 Ti represents a great value at its price point. Competition is fierce at the moment, but that’s a great thing. Consumers now have a number of excellent options in the sub-$300 space and we suspect the GeForce GTX 560 Ti will be quite popular with budget conscious gamers. For about 250 bucks, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti has a ton of game.

Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti is ultimately a victim of circumstance. The performance at its $250 price point is excellent, and the reduced power consumption shows that Nvidia is taking energy efficiency seriously. But it was dropped into a crowded market. AMD decided it would rather drop its prices than give up the midrange GPU crown. Adding insult to injury, they also brought the price tag on the Radeon HD 6950 down to $289, bringing AMD's performance-oriented Radeon HD 6900 series within spitting distance of Nvidia's GTX 560 Ti. With so many winning models on the table its a step the competition can afford to take, whereas those eyeing Nvidia's wares are suddenly presented with a few more tantalizing offers from AMD's camp.

The NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti marks not only the return of the Titanium suffix (and likely others are pending) to the GeForce line but also another entry into the wildly successful $249 price point. By averaging a 35% performance advantage over the current GTX 460 1GB while turning in better efficiency at the same time AND completely dominating the Radeon HD 6870 1GB, the GTX 560 Ti would have been a shoe-in for an editor's choice. NVIDIA might have a distaste for the timely release of the HD 6950 1GB but for gamers, the more the merrier.

To get a 30% performance improvement out of what’s fundamentally the same GPU is quite an accomplishment. I do not believe NVIDIA was originally intending for it to be this way (rather they’d launch something like the 560 back in July of 2010), but the result is nevertheless remarkable. Since the launch of the GTX 460 NVIDIA’s launches have been mostly solid, and the GTX 560 Ti adds to that list.

HEXUS‘s review Edit Like Unlike

High on performance, good on power-draw, and shipping with an excellent cooler on the reference card, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB makes the premium mid-range graphics-card space all the more interesting in Q1 2011. As the market stands right now, it's our favourite GPU this side of £200, though that may change with some AMD price-cutting and the retail emergence of the just-announced Radeon HD 6950 1GB card. We think that readers who already own a decent mid-range card from the last 18 months would be better served, if possible, by adding a second for increased performance. Those who wish to upgrade from an older GPU or build from scratch should put the DX11-compatible GTX 560 Ti on a rather short list.

TechSpot‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti fills an important price bracket for Nvidia at $250 as this segment was last serviced by the aging GTX 470. Compared to the board it is replacing, gamers can expect a 9% performance boost on average with the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. The race between the 3-month-old Radeon HD 6870 and the new GeForce GTX 560 Ti is going to be close, especially if both companies keep slashing prices (to our benefit). The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the faster graphics card, but it's not as efficient. If overclocking is a no-brainer, Nvidia's new mainstream offering is capable of offering GeForce GTX 570-like performance for a fraction of the cost.

Yes, all of this hoopla has again come down to small slivers of difference between the best options from AMD and Nvidia, amazingly enough. These two companies and their partners have a very good handle on the competitive situation, and they've positioned their products accordingly. We're left to sort things out, and sometimes, the best answer is "take your pick." One thing we do know: these new entries at $259-269 are where you want to be. The GeForce GTX 570, Radeon HD 6950 2GB, and Radeon HD 6970 don't deliver enough additional performance to justify their prices—at least, not at the 1080p display resolution on which we've focused today.

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is an interesting beast of a video card. The GTX 560 Ti is what the GTX 460 would have been had it launched with all of the Shader processors enabled for the most part with a few improvements to the transistors and design. NVIDIA has done itself very well with this new card as the 560 Ti offers equivalent performance to the HD 6950 2GB in most cases at a lower price point.

At close to $500, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a decent multi-GPU upgrade option. Notice I said upgrade option, and not something you'd want to buy outright. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti lacks 3-way or 4-way SLI support, and hence it's suited more for people who buy one card and in the future add another one. If you have $500 to spend right away, you're better off buying a GeForce GTX 580, and leaving room for three more cards, provided your PSU and motherboard are cool with it.

Overall, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti has emerged a champion for this segment. It's striking the price performance sweet-spot well, giving you performance to play anything at any resolution, and is both cool and quiet. Highly recommended.

overclockersclub‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The performance was good right out of the box with both of these cards and when it came time to overclock them, I was able to hit over 1GHz on the GF114 cores of both cards and well over 1150MHz on the GDDR5 memory. These bumps in performance from overclocking were not just small bumps, but significant jumps in performance, allowing the GTX 560 Ti from NVIDIA and ASUS to wipe the floor with the HD 6870, its direct competitor. Either AMD has some price drops coming soon or it will be conceding the $250 price point to the performance of the GTX 560 Ti.

A week ago the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti was set to dominate the sub $250 video card market, but AMD put an end to that with the AMD Radeon HD 6950 1GB video card. Both cards are great and at the end of the day the gamers and enthusiasts are the winners as AMD and NVIDIA will have to be in another price battle in order to earn your hard earned money!

In summary, the GF114 GPU inside the GTX 560 Titanium is the perfect replacement for the now end-of-life GTX 470. Because this product is named similarly to the GTX 460 from the previous generation, consumers might think that this is a mainstream graphics card. Considering the price and performance, it's safer to consider the GTX 560 series as a solid part of the upper midrange market segment and allow the upcoming GeForce GTS 550 to prove itself worthy of mainstream praise and prices. Still, by matching performance with the more expensive options, it won't be long before the GeForce GTX 560 Ti does one of two things: become a sought-after $250 product or have the price increased to match the competition.

In most scenarios the new GeForce GTX 560 Ti crushed its main competitor, the Radeon HD 6870: it was between 10% and 37% faster on Lost Planet 2, between 17% and 18% faster on Aliens vs. Predator, between 19% and 21% faster on Far Cry 2, and between 11% and 19% faster on Crysis Warhead. On Call of Duty 4 we saw a technical tie, with the GeForce GTX 560 Ti being 4% faster at 1680x1050 but both cards achieving the same performance at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600. On 3DMark 11 at 1680x1050 (both Performance and Extreme profiles) both cards achieved the same performance level, but at higher resolutions the Radeon HD 6870 was up to 9% faster. It is true that you can find the Radeon HD 6870 for between USD 10 and USD 30 less than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, but based on our results we believe that paying a little bit more for the new GeForce GTX 560 Ti is well worth it.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti Expert Review: The next generation of mid-range Fermi graphics - Buying advice from the UK's leading technology siteThe GTX 560 Ti hits Nvidia's marketing claims of 30% better performance over the GTX 460 and isn't asking any more for it than it did for the previous generation. The impressive overclocking capabilities of the card are also worth special mention, especially considering the card is recommended to come in below the £200 mark. To be fair there's nothing to dislike about the GTX 560 Ti. It's not over-priced at £200, it's just there's a competing card that outperforms it for pretty much the same cash.

With its GeForce GTX 560 Ti, Nvidia is trying to maintain its grip on the sub-$250 video card market, but it faces stiff competition from one of its own cards from the last generation.

If you're looking to spend exactly £200 on a graphics card then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is an excellent choice. AMD's offerings on either side aren't shown up by this newcomer when you look at stock performance, but if you buy a tweaked card, or are happy to play with the clock settings yourself, then the GTX 560 just noses its way ahead of the competition on either side.

The GTX 560 Ti, then, is a triumph: virtually as fast as more expensive rivals, and with scope for even better performance with a bit of tweaking. Under the hood it shares plenty with the GTX 460 – and it looks likely to repeat its predecessor’s success.

Tom's Hardware‘s review Edit Like Unlike

It’s a great time to upgrade from something two or more generations old, without a doubt. If you’re already sporting a decent card from the last year, though, GeForce GTX 560 Ti won’t really give you a reason to spend another $250. It’s a little faster, a little cooler, a little more efficient, and a little cheaper than the GeForce GTX 470 that waves farewell.

In our opinion, the GTX 560 Ti is one of the best cards released in the last year or so. It is literally a perfect sub-$300 product which is quieter and more efficient than the competing AMD cards and even puts the once-mighty GTX 470 to shame. March marks the beginning of the busy PC and console game spring release season and the GTX 560 Ti is in an enviable position to take advantage of this upsurge in demand.
