Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti Graphics Card Pictured
Here are the first pictures of a Gigabyte branded NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card. Carrying the model number GV-N560OC-1GI, Gigabyte's card is based on the 40 nanometer GF114 GPU, featuring 384 CUDA cores, and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory. The card itself doesn't look much different from some of Gigabyte's GTX 460 graphics cards. This can be attributed to the rumor that GF114 is pin-compatible with GF104, to minimize R&D costs partners have to incur. They would probably just have to use the new GPU and its appropriate BIOS.
Being an "OC" marked model, Gigabyte's card could feature factory-overclocked speeds. Taking this and the GPU itself into account, Gigabyte claims its GTX 560 Ti card to be competitive with Radeon HD 6950. The card uses Gigabyte's Ultra Durable VGA construction which combines a copper-rich PCB with high-quality components, and is cooled by the company's in-house design WindForce2X GPU cooler that uses a large aluminum fin heatsink using two fans.
Update (01/18): Gigabyte commented on this article. The company outright denied to have anything to do with whatever is in those pictures, and alleged it to be some kind of a "malicious attack" on it. In a statement, it said: "the information is false and the data is simulated from our old card. The picture is incorrect and was obviously photoshopped from our previous GTX460 model. The GTX560 card looks nothing like pictured on the article. We have good reason to believe this is a malicious attack."

ps even the gtx 460 is opengl 4.0
Really both Nvidia's 5xx cards and AMD's 6xxx cards are a nice improvement but nothing amazing due to both being 40nm still, i might get a 2GB card as I'm running a triple screen setup but with 28nm chip set to launch this year i think myself and most others should try to avoid temptation :laugh:
About overcloking it and soundly beating GTX 570 or HD 6970, i highly doubt it, rebember it is only 1GB of VRAM, it doesn't matter how much you can overclock it, at least at high resolutions it won't be able to compete with 570 or 6970, maybe 6950 2GB.
GTX 560 competition is HD6950 1GB
No wonder nVidia call the card GTX560 Ti
Probably about the same performance as a GTX 470 with a lot less power consumption. It seems like Nvidia moves product lines in general 25% performance increments. So figure 460 25% slower than 560 which is 25% slower than 570 which is 25% slower than 580.
wowzer!
Translation:
Selling Points:
1. ...
2.The performance equals or is close to HD6950
3.Mini HDMI and HDMI port could be freely changed (by adapter?)
:nutkick:
the 6950's competition IS a GTX470, as shown in AMD's own slides, and the GTX560 will take the GTX470's place, and given its specs, will be faster than one stock for stock.
the GTX560 will also probably become availiable in non-reference 2gb models, just like the GTX460 did.
why do you find it so hard to believe the 560 can take on a 6950 properly?
I said GTX 560 1GB competition is 6950 1GB, meaning they are on par.
Yes of course gtx 470 is the competition i'm not saying it isn't, but like you say gtx 560 will be faster than gtx 470, so what, 6950 already is.
All i'm saying is they will be on par, 1GB vs 1GB, 2GB vs 2GB. I'm not saying gtx 560 will be slower.
EDIT: And i obviously won't talk about o/c because like the update says, completely false info.
Now take a look at the comparison between the 570 and the 480 (the 480 of course having more memory), you will see that both cards are exactly neck and neck at 1920 but the lower memory card is actually 1% faster at 2560.
Now 1% or even 3% is not noticeable however you cannot always assume that these performance differences are down to the quantity of memory, there could be a number of explanations, such as memory speeds, bandwidth or simply the GPU's architecture.
Ti 4200 was a legendary card man.
