MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II to Debut on January 25

I love the MSI cooler, and it looks like the gtx560 is getting one on release day, the 25th!.
I bet they will be overclocked at release. This is good news.

SOLD!!!!!

Look for 1Ghz overclocks

$280?

Is that for a regular 560 or the MSI card?

Thats the same as a 6950 and likely more than a 6950 1GB. Seems a bit steep to me.

280 IMO is a good price for the Twin Frozer II 560. See the reference 560's for 249.99 on the egg

Look around the evga forums, rumor has it, MSI and EVGA are releasing overclocked versions at 900+ core. That tells me these regular gtx560's will overclock over 1000 core, with pro's like you and me behind the keyboard.
Looks like the gtx460's overclocks all over again.

I'll try to talk to my Evga admin buddy and PM you.

I totally expected GF114 to overclock better then GF104. Hell GF104 has hit 1Ghz. I wonder with water 1050 is possible. Hmm... Pair of TFII's or a pair of reference with waterblocks

No, it does not depend on the individual. It's not the individual that decides whether the card is mainstream or not.. its the companies.

Look at AMD's CPU roadmap:

and GPU roadmap of previous gen

That we are disagreeing with each other, proves MY point. Not yours. Agreed? It does indeed depend on the individual and at what price/performance the midrange, low end or high end falls under for them and what they deem a good enough value to pursue. And I agree with Happy Medium. This is just a truly pointless derailing concept that doesn't really matter.

I already have the 2 6870's. And ordered a 580 EVGA a few hours ago. What im wondering is, whether to keep the 2 6870's, and cancel the 580 in favor of 2 560's. Or...Keep the 580, sell the 2 6870's and go with a 6970.

Two rigs, one SLI and one Crossfire. UD5 for Crossfire, and the UD4 for SLI.

So it's not which setup is better, its more of which would be more fun to benchmark and compare.

Isn't a HD 6870 CF setup faster than a single GTX 580 by about 20-30%?

 

[tviceman]

Fudzilla is saying there will be factory OC 1000mhz cards. If this is true, then Nvidia is AGAIN being conservative with core clocks for their midrange cards so it doesn't encroach on their flagship products. 1000mhz is a 22% overclock, more than enough to surpass the gtx570 in benchmarks that are not memory-bandwidth intensive.

Oh, and Gigabyte windforce or MSI twin frozr II FTW.

 

[SniperSlap]

$240 and $280 seems a bit steep for a card that's supposed to be "competitive".

Recently, the very first benchmarks of the GTX 560 were leaked to the Web, and the results show that Nvidia's card is up to par with AMD's Radeon HD 6950.

When compared to other graphics solutions, the GTX 560 turned out to be as much as 27% faster than the Radeon HD 6870, about 14% better in average than the GTX 470 and 24% faster than the GTX 460.

Meant to take on the Radeon HD 6950 as well as the upcoming 1GB versions of the HD 6950 and HD 6970, the GTX 560 will be officially launched on January 25 for about $280 US.

This would beat my expectations and in a good way !

Score

 

[evolucion8]

Those are good news as the HD 6950 had no competition from nVidia's current GTX 5x0 series.

PS: I just noticed that the card has the GTX 460 written on the cooler, fake. The score then is questionable.

I hope this is true, so I can snag myself a 6950 for $250.

It isn't making sense though it cant be on par with a 6950 if it is 27% faster than a 6870. That would make it as fast as a 6970/570. It also cant be only 14% faster than a 470, but 27% faster than a 6870 as they are on par. It also cant be 24% faster than a 460 as a 6870 is faster than a 460.

He is all over the place. If a stock 560 can't beat a stock 6950 then an overclocked one won't beat an overclocked or unlocked 6950. So that $320 card seems a bit lost tbh.

Yeah, I was thinking that anything within 5-8% would be a success, but it seems that since they had extra room via overclocking they have gone ahead and tackled the 6950 head on, probably equalling or besting it marginally at a lower price with the overclocked models.

That so called AMD price hike was just a shame to scare people into buying AMD cards for Christmas to make up for being later to market than they were hoping. No way AMD can raise the price of their cards. No way they could have in the first place. They may, in fact, have to come down some if Nvidia does what it looks like they are going to be doing.

The dual bios update for the 6950 to a 6970 will help the 6950 hold value at it's current price point though. I haven't kept up with it the last few weeks, but I imagine that bios update is still available. Still, the 560 should offer very good competition at it's launch price in comparison to the 6950. And, if this is how fast the 560 is....then the 550 should be rather impressive as well, which should not be much father away from release as well. That card will end up much faster than the 6850 I imagine.

It's probably just a best case single benchmark comparison, probably Heaven on Extreme settings.

 

[badb0y]

The GTX 560 HAS to be an a damn impressive card considering it's going against a 6950...I mean a 6970 with a 6950 sticker on it .

Ahh, I keep forgetting unigene. Was thinking of 3Dmark. That would make sense then.

I wonder how well 1Ghz core will translate into performance against the 580.

They said up to 27% faster (or as much as, or something like that). If it's 27% faster in HAWX2, for example, then it's going to be slower in everything else. I'd say they are likely comparing some single benchmark that favors nVidia, for that figure.

Sorry, didn't see tviceman;s post.

 

[Arkadrel]

guess this means:


580 > 6970 > 570 > 6950 > 560

the question is... if the 560 at stock is barely slower than the 6950, how much lower will it be priced? what will the 1gb version of the 6950 be priced like?

6950 1gb vs 560.... will probably be very even then in performance,... price war at this price range I speculate.

To best extrapolate what stock gtx560's are going to perform like, only consider the comparisons between nvidia cards to be typical across the board. So 10-15% improvement across the board vs. a gtx470 is probably pretty accurate.

Well if Nvidia's pricing of the 500 series continues to stay close to what the 400 series started out at... the gtx460 1 gig had an MSRP of $220. I don't think we'll see the gtx560 start this low, but I do think $240 is within range. It's either going to be $240 or $250, and the binned 334 shader part will be right around $50 cheaper.

Agreed. It's definitely better to compare to nVidia cards to estimate performance. That's just not what was done in the post we were referring to.
