GeForce GTX 560 Confirmed for 17th May
NVIDIA confirmed its latest performance GPU, the GeForce GTX 560 (not to be confused with GTX 560 Ti), for launch on May 17, 2011. GeForce.com staff put up a new video on YouTube that displayed the card itself (looks very similar to to GTX 460), and run a few upcoming games on it, including the much anticipated Duke Nukem Forever, Alice: Madness Returns, and Rift.
NVIDIA claims that the new card should be able to handle most DirectX 11 games at 1080p resolution. In the Duke Nukem Forever run, the 3DVision features of the GTX 560 were shown. On Alice: Madness Returns, a variety of NVIDIA PhysX effects were shown, mostly particle and fluid dynamics. Lastly, the anticipated MMO Rift was able to run at 1080p with very high frame-rates and low GPU temperatures. Based on the GF114 GPU, the GTX 560 features 336 CUDA cores, 1 GB of GDDR5 memory over a 256-bit wide memory interface.Check out the video for some cool in-game footage.

Looks like it will run OK in RPG with HD res.
Oh well, hopefully this means lower 460 prices and more people trying to sell used 460s. My SLI senses are tingling! :D
Not surprising, but as this will probably be one of those releases that don't have AIB holding to any strict reference design, so we’ll see offerings from cost effective-premium depending PCB/power control right out of the gate. Though all this might just indicate that there will be less "mid-stream" models that provide good OC’n potential.
As long as Nvidia can simply parlay over from GTX460 and maintain a reasonable price structure as presently it's not going to change anything. The market will linger/stagnant for probably the next 8 months until 28Nm parts arrive.
Been away from desktop parts for a while so stupid question.
I am concerned that the ati 6970-2gb or 580gtx would not be enough to run basic games at 1440x900~1080p and I see this IGP equivalent video card GTX560 that is the same as the GTX560ti and people are still able to play games and still buying this card ??
Why would anyone want to buy this card ? :confused:
I am lost, is the ATI6970 then overkill or is the games falling behind the technology ?
$250~$350 budget.
* I say can't with a little bit of a note here, in reality any modern GPU could handle PhysX, so really any GPU could calculate these effect. However, obviously since PhysX is nVidia
's technology it doesn't work on ATi card, and that is a whole other descussion that is way off topic from this thead.
How ever the demo should be out soon YAY.
