Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti

With a suggested retail price of $250, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is notwithstanding considered a mainstream performance graphics menu, costing roughly the aforementioned amount equally the Radeon Hard disk drive 6870. The bill of fare is ~$50 more expensive than the GeForce GTX 460 1GB and almost $120 less than some Radeon HD 6970 cards.

Based on Fermi's 3rd-generation Streaming Multiprocessor (SM) architecture, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti boasts 384 CUDA cores, which is 15% more shader power than the GeForce GTX 460. In that location are besides 64 TAU (Texture Addressing Units) units, the same number used by the GeForce GTX 580, while the ROP (Raster Operations) have been decreased from 48 to 32.

Breaking it down, we have ii Graphics Processing Clusters, 8 Streaming Multiprocessors, 384 CUDA Cores, 64 Texture Units and 32 Raster Operations Units. The graphics clock speed for stock-still office units is set at 822MHz, 6% college than the GeForce GTX 580, while shader frequency was increased by the same measure to 1640MHz.

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is paired with 1024MB of GDDR5 retentiveness clocked at 1002MHz (4008MHz DDR). Combine that with a memory interface of 256-fleck and you lot go a peak theoretical bandwidth of 128GB/s, or sixteen% less bandwidth than the GTX 570 and xi% more than than the GTX 460 (1GB).

Nvidia has slightly reduced the Thermal Design Power (TDP) rating of the GeForce GTX 560 Ti to 170 watts, downwardly from the GTX 570's 219 watts. This represents a modest 22% drop and information technology will exist interesting to run across how well this new graphics card overclocks when prodded a trivial.

Other than the PCIe slot, much similar other high functioning cards, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti pulls power through a pair of external 6-pivot PCIe power connectors. Nvidia recommends using at least a 550-watt power supply with this graphics card.

Nvidia's reference cooler has a small-scale 70mm fan that blows air over a radial heatsink and forced out the rear of the card, exiting the case. The heatsink features four copper heatpipes which lead to another banking concern of fins that help in the cooling process. This is the same blueprint used by the GeForce GTX 460.

Nvidia'southward manufacturing partners such as Gainward, MSI, Palit and Gigabyte prefer to come up up with their own designs. In the case of Gigabyte, we have a much larger heatsink that spans the entire length of the graphics carte du jour. Gigabyte has likewise employed a pair of 80mm fans instead of a single modest fan.

The I/O plate of the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is identical to the GTX 570, featuring a vent across the top of the console and a pair of DVI ports with a mini-HDMI port below.
