5.0 out of 5 stars Premier power without the pricetag April 29, 2011

By Cory B. Anderson

As a very picky gamer, jags, jumps, and framerate drops, mean a lot to you. They haunt your life and can ruin an otherwise good experience in an alternate reality. The only drawback to this is that a good graphics card costs a pretty penny. When most people consider computers they consider an extra two-hundred dollars to be an incredible amount of money (never bring up the GTX 590), but that is what this card, considered an entry level card by most, stands at for the cash. Is it worth it?

For the price the performance is invaluable.

Many less picky gamers would probably say it runs all of their games flawlessly. Again, for the picky gamer, it doesn't quite do that. I switched from SLI GTS 450s to this single card, and it outperforms them, but still has some hiccups (or many, depending on the game) at full 1080p with Anti Aliasing and SSAO on full. However, all of my games (even Dragon Age 2 now that it is patched) run at or near an acceptable 30 Frames Per second. In fact you are actually getting, with this superclocked version, a product that nearly performs as well as its +100$ superior, the 570, it usually falls within a 10% margin. This is a premium card for the budget gamer. It will run, and run well, most all games with stunning visuals. This isn't the opus that the GTX 590 is, but it doesn't cost $700+ either.

I highly recommend it, and would even recommend you SLI it down the road to outperform (theoretically) a GTX 580. Just make sure your powersupply can handle it. Many don't have the 2x six pin connectors.

Very nice card. I have owned a few EVGA cards, and am very happy with these. Running dual GTX 560 TI, and it plows through BC2 like butter. Seems to run cool, stable, and quiet. Amazon is a great place to purchase from too...card showed up in 3 days! after I placed my order.

**Edit
After having both cards in a few days, I am really impressed. In BC2 I am running everything maxed out, and getting 100fps.

I did have to use EVGA precision, to set a fan profile, and raise the speed of the fans. The auto fan sucks. My comp is air cooled, and the cards have hit 70c in game. Idle about 30c. Happy with that!

5.0 out of 5 stars One SWEEEET Video Card With All The Bells and Whistles, Lifetime Warranty, All Good!!! July 2, 2011

By Wavey Davey

This review is going to get a bit technical, but not really heavy duty technical stuff about the nVidia Fermi cards, just some basic rocket science with THIS particular nVidia card, and I hope you all find it worthy of reading; I'll try and make it interesting with some practical applications of the science I'm talking about.

First and foremost this is an EVGA video board, and I cannot say enough about EVGA the company, their tech support, and their place in the manufacturer's championships at No.1, and I think that is not even debatable, it's factual. With the ONLY Lifetime Warranty in its class for this type of video card, the EVGA 560Ti SuperClocked video card is factory overclocked all right, but there's still room up at the top for even higher pursuits, which I'll describe in full in just a second. But first some of those techno-babbles that I hinted at earlier:

1) The 560 Ti series is the first video card from EVGA/nVidia to use the famed GF114 Processor (GPU)chip, which is an all new architecture with many new features
2) The GF114 CPU is cut on 40nm technology, which means it's lighter and smaller and able to achieve very high clock cycles because it's easier to keep cool, among other interesting features
3) With 137GB/sec bandwidth, a 256-bit bus, 384 Unified Shaders, and 1024MB of DDR5 VRAM (MLC memory to be specific) this card yields 30.7 GigaPixels for its pixel fillrate, and 61.4 GTexels for its texture fillrate, on a 32 ROPs PCI-E 16X bus interface: all this means is that it's incredibly fast at rendering scenery and game action is blinding fast, and all you have to do is plug it in and give it a 16X bus PCI-E slot and you're Golden!
4) It supports DirectX 11.0/10.0/SM5....0 out of the box without drivers, and with 1950 Million transistors is one of the most dense and compact video cards in its base board construction of all the Fermi nVidia cards at any price point
5) The 560 Ti SC is a "compact" form factor video card, therefore it fits into places which the large, and bulky 12"+ nVidia cards and even larger ATI video boards cannot squeeze, so you get a lot of video card power in a small form factor of just less than 11-inches, a very good thing for Mini-ATX and small form factor case builders
6) With Base Default clocks of 900Mhz Core, 1053Mhz Memory, and 1800Mhz Shader clocks it's one of the highest clocked OEM cards around, and with conditioning and proper adjustment can be overclocked significantly, and OpenCL, CUDA, PhysX, and DirectCompute 5.0 are natively supported too
7) In spite of the high clocks, the 560Ti SC is a low voltage video card, because it's efficient and can operate with the GF114 CPU at very low power settings, to wit at overclocked settings of 960/1920/2140Mhz the voltage is only 1.0370Volts at 100% GPU Load

Using Precision Video Card Utility, or MSI Afterburner if you prefer that flavor graphics card performance minder, it is possible to adjust the clocks significantly to achieve even higher performance clocks for demanding game play, or PhysX of Folding@Home workouts where time is the enemy and you only have so much of it to get a given result. I am running my GTX 560 Ti SC's (in SLI in my case, I have two of them) at the aforementioned 960/1920/2140Mhz clocks and using both cards for Folding@Home, each one with a dedicated Work Unit 24/7 365 days a year with excellent results!

My two video cards in an overclocked Core i7 970 CPU-equipped EVGA Classified E760-based computer are averaging almost 20,000 Points Per Day for my Folding@Home efforts, a most enjoyable situation that I have going! As I look at them right now, I am typing on that computer which is also my office server and my media and multi-media machine, with multiple RAID configurations off an Areca 1680IX-8 Hardware RAID Bus Master-- those video cards are cranking out two FAHome work units right now at 99% Load on the CPU for each card, and the cards are at 73-degrees for card NO.1, and 69-degrees Celsius for card NO.2, steady as rocks in Gibraltar. They have been doing this same dance for almost 7 months and counting, having put them in service at the first part of February, 2011, and they have not missed a day of work or play in all that time, 100% up time for these cards and my computer overclocked to 4.2Ghz no less! Pretty KUHL, right?

I also play some games on this CPU, with Crysis 2 and BC2 being my favorites presently, and with the video cards in SLI I can crank up the settings to just less than 1000Mhz Core clock and 2200Mhz Memory clocks and play either one of those high-demand games at full 1080P on my Samsung 46" LED LCD HDTV, which the computer is hooked up to via Mini-HDMI to HDMI switch off card No.1 with perfect resolution and unbelievable game play! There is no end to the joy that my card duo can bring me, as they are arguably the best pair of sub-$500 video cards that exist, and I've got a lifetime's warranty on both cards from EVGA to boot, the best situation possible! FRAPS says I am pulling more than 45FPS average in Crysis 2 at 1080P and BC2 yields 50-70+FPS goodness, an unreal performance from two video cards that I paid less than $500 for the both of them! Amazing!

What is left to encapsulate for the nice people about the EVGA 560 Ti SC's? Well, I do admit that I crank up the fans for Folding@Home work, and they can make a trifle bit of NOISE at their highest settings (80%+ and higher), but that is to be expected if you don't want to burn the cards up to melted circuit boards! That single fan in this configuration is more than doing the job, by the way, so there's no need for a twin-fan setup with the 560 Ti SC's, such as the MSI "Double frozen blah blah" cards have going for those setups...totally unnecessary!

Normally the twins are driving a set of Acer 24" LED LCD displays, that is when they are not playing games and driving the Samsung HDTV, and I have gotten better than 30K 3DMarks in 3DMark '06, and scored 24K 3DMarks in Vantage, which was accomplished with heavy overclocking on both video cards in SLI and the 970 CPU @ 4.4Ghz...air cooling on everything, by the way, no H20 in the house. I have found these two video cards to be my best investment in years and years in video boards. I mean what is there to say about two premium cards that cost less than $500 for the both of them, shipped? That is truly sick and totally crazy, but true! I mean two years ago I paid more than $700 for a pair of EVGA GTX-285 SC's and they don't even compare to these two at all, not even close.

Wavey Davey gives this video card his uncompromising HIGHEST RATING POSSIBLE, the Wavey Davey Double Gold Trophy for incredible performance and engineering, and a Lifetime Warranty in addition from the mother ship EVGA also! Incredible! You cannot go wrong with a pair of these, and I encourage anyone/everyone with the ability to support an SLI arrangement of this video card to GO FOR IT! You will not be disappointed! Can you imagine a Tri-SLI setup with this card in the house? Woooo-Hoooo! Get yours today!

As for single-card use, that is fine and dandy, you can't go wrong there either but what a shame if you don't or can't support an SLI gig with two of these monsters in the house! In any case, this is the finest video card for the $$ in existence today, even after being out almost 8 months now I can still say that, and that is amazing in and of itself the way the video card market changes so quickly, like hamburgers at McDonald's! The EVGA 560 TI SuperClocked video card is Da Kind...you cannot beat it so you'd best be writing out that list for the new computer and include at least one of these in the parts list, and if you're replacing an old video card with one/two of these you also cannot go wrong: this is the best value for the almighty $$$ on planet earth today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great upgrade from my 8800GT September 17, 2011

By Fani

Amazon Verified Purchase

After a lot of time seeing several nvidia cards go by each proclaiming to be the next best thing on earth, I finally decided to buy a worthy successor to the 8800GT. And I think this is it - the evga nvidia GTX 560 Ti. This card is paired with my Q6600, 2GB DDR2, 600W Rosewill PSU, MSI P95 mobo, extra Antec VGA Cooler, Samsung Spinpoint 500GB HDD, nvidia 3D vision with Acer 24 3D LCD monitor. As you can see, most components are from 2007 when I last upgraded my PC. I really wasn't gaming on PC that much (mostly on consoles), so I didn't feel the need as well. Now that I'm gaming more on PC again since consoles are showing its age especially in terms of graphics, I decided on a drop-in replacement for my 8800GT. This was it.

Pros -
+ good value for the money. $249 for card, $20 rebate from evga (if I get it), $50 Batman Arkham City Steam coupon code.
+ lifetime warranty once you register + evga stepup for 90days
+ mostly quiet card when idling and gaming without much going on.
+ temps are about 35C idle (+-2C) and hit 73C with Witcher 2 on Medium-spec (1920x1080) with 3D Vision. Without, its still around there.
+ good framerates. Hits over 60fps on Witcher 2 at 1920x1080 on medium-spec. Games run smooth with almost all games on highest settings. I can prolly run it on highspec as well but haven't tried. On 8800gt I was getting 20fps at 1920x1080. This gives over 60fp
+ should be ok for next few years provided I upgrade my other components as well
+ Win 7 experience score went up from 6.9 before to 7.7 if that means anything
+ handles 3D gaming quite well without much drop in fps.
+ I have noticed that 8800GT on lower resolutions like 1280x1024 or even 1440x900 can do Witcher2 medium spec easily and game looks quite good there as well.... But this really steps it up another notch or two. Performance is probably like 3 times that of 8800GT.

Cons -
- needs 2 power inputs.
- can get very loud like a jet engine when fans are at 100%
- it is quite a long card, almost hit my hdd unlike 8800GT

Overall, I think this is the next 8800GT which'll show up in steam as the most popular card. Its already overclocked and runs almost as well as GTX570 which is about $100 more for like 10% more fps. After 30fps, its literally difficult to tell the diff between 40fps, 50fps, 60fps, 70fps etc. 40fps will look just like 100fps i.e. nice fluid motion. Maybe some people can tell. Me, I cannot.

Overall, recommended. 5/5 stars. Read more ›
