The GeForce GTX 560 Ti X2 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on January 25th, 2011. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GF114 graphics processor, in its GF114-400-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_0, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The GF114 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 332 mm² and 1,950 million transistors. GeForce GTX 560 Ti X2 combines two graphics processors to increase performance. It features 384 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, per GPU. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 560 Ti X2, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface per GPU (each GPU manages 1,024 MB). The GPU is operating at a frequency of 850 MHz, memory is running at 1002 MHz (4 Gbps effective). Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti X2 draws power from 2x 8-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 170 W maximum. Display outputs include: 3x DVI, 1x mini-HDMI 1.3a. GeForce GTX 560 Ti X2 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 292 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
