NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 TI: THE LATEST ADDITION TO NVIDIA 500-SERIES GPU




For many, two months usually passes by in just a blink of an eye but I bet for graphic cards aficionados out there especially for those who belong to the NVIDIA camp, it most probably feel like forever. The wait is now finally over as NVIDIA have officially taken the cover off the latest NVIDIA GeForce 500-series GPU, the GTX 560 Ti.

Based on the well-known DirectX-11 ready Fermi architecture, the GTX 560 Ti is currently the most affordable GTX 500-series GPU with a base price of around RM 760 (USD 249). In terms of performance, a standard GeForce GTX 560 Ti is equipped with a graphic core that runs at 822MHz (graphic clock) / 1,644 MHz (processor clock) and contains 384 CUDA cores together with 8 tessellation engines. As for memory capabilities, the GPU is paired together with 1GB GDDR5 memory with a memory clock speed of 4,008MHz.

According to NVIDIA, all these numbers are equivalent to around 46-percent faster performance compared to their competitor’s offerings. Considering that the GTX 560 Ti is also available as overclocked version – some with graphic clock speed up to 1GHz – their claims seems pretty legit but of course, the best way to know this yourself is by checking it at your favourite retailers right now.
