GIGABYTE NVIDIA GTX 560 Review, Benchmarks & vs. GTX 560 Ti Comparison

[stopemfromflopping]

got mine for 52 usd

[TheXGamingChicken]

Do you have to update the nvidia cards alot or can you make it self update because i wanna buy one of these but i dont want to update it all the time,please help

[conyo985]

@TheXGamingChicken

It's part of being a gamer and it's not only for nvidia. If you are going to be an amd user then you also have to update drivers regularly. If you are not a gamer and just use your card for desktop use, movies and media editing then you don't have to update drivers quite as often.

[CreepersClassified]

i got a Nvidia GT520 :(

[gytis1232]

my non ti core clock 1000mhz

[09490m]

i got mine for $90 while on sale with a coupons and mail in rebate

[MrSwatspeedman]

Who would win in a staring competition? Him or the box?

[x2Dosequisx2]

two things: 1. Would gddr5 be better than ddr3? 2. ti or non ti? Thanks

[Oelov]

how many times does he say "cool"?

[Collective11011]

I just got one. Upgraded from a 9800gt.

huge performance increase. Oc Core clock @ 930 max temp at full load 60C.

Greate performance for the price. I got it in Europe for 200E

[victor7491]

@Collective11011 I'm planning to get one too, my current card is 9800gt 1gb. I want to ask you: do you get good performance in games and do you regret not getting a Ti? Because in most places I've looked everyone's talking about how the Ti is super awesomely better than the non- Ti, but they don't say exactly how good it is.

[Collective11011]

@victor7491 I think the Gigabyite GTX560 non-ti is awesome for its price. And im extremly hapy with its performanse. You can look at the difrence on the Pass mark site just go to the high end gpu bencmark. Bare in mind that this card overclocks crazy and can easely reach the GTX560ti stock performance.

[victor7491]

@Collective11011 Thanks, that was the push I needed. And I'm getting an Asus, which is stock overclocked and maybe I'll overclock it still.

[Collective11011]

@victor7491 Yoo wont be disapionted in the asus version.

I forgot to mension i bought this card especialy for BF3. And it runs it great on ultra settings. Play hard my frend.

[x2xHalox2x]

a better comparation would be the HD 6850 vs gtx 560

[FLGeneralSS]

2:49 what song ?

[jordo85123]

my computer is 128 bit, my friend said that its reeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally good but i dont know what it means, help?

[CrowdControl2K8]

THIS PARTICULAR CARD HAS PROBLEMS WITH BATTLEFIELD 3. IT'S FACTORY OVERCLOCK IS TOO HIGH AND CAUSES BF3 TO CRASH AFTER A FEW MINS. YOU HAVE TO REDUCE CLOCK SPEEDS AND INCREASE VOLTAGE WHICH WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND REDUCE MTBF. I WOULDN'T BUY IT IF YOUR PLAYING BF3. GET A REFERENCE 560TI INSTEAD.

[MarkiiGaming]

what does "Ti" stands for?

[TheTostitony]

@MarkiiGaming

Titanium

[0oDarkLordRevano0]

2:10

lol "Gigs"

[vagabundoxti]

I bought this one and is very good, paid $189.00 Canadian so thumbs up for this card

[Harrysound]

@vagabundoxti How the noise?

[vagabundoxti]

@Harrysound To be honest there is no noise just the regular sound like any other video card, and to me that's impressive for a video card this size

[robertorrt]

i have the zotac gtx 560 oc (factory overclocked . 860mhz core clock) and when i play games like battlefield 3 the temperature rises to 85,86,87 °C is it normal? i have problem playing bf3 on ultra and i think its because the high temperature .. but playing in high.. the temperature rises to 85°C anyway.. but without problems .......,, i added one more 120mm fan to my case and its the same .. somebody know if this temperature is normal ? ? the cooler of the card is stock..

[iKiillQuiik]

@robertorrt how have u setup ur fans?

[robertorrt]

@iKiillQuiik 1 inlet fan in the left and 1 outlet fan in the rear.. but the rear fan is very slow..it came with the case.. im thinking on changing it and adding one more inlet fan on the front of the case

[robertorrt]

@robertorrt i think my processor is reaching high temperatures too.. is a i5 2400 3,1ghz and it gets temperatures like 76,77°C playing bf3 ... and im playing in 1280x1024 resolution .

[iKiillQuiik]

@robertorrt i got a 200mm fan in the fron for pull, 1 200mm on top push, 2 120mm in the left for pull and 1 120mm in the rear to push the max temp iget is 38 °C

[spunkflunk]

my zotac gtx 560 looks way bigger, does that mean it is better?

[FireFox22341]

@spunkflunk Haha, no no. Though bigger cards sometimes means more video RAM. But Zotak generally make better GPU's, so you're ok ^.^

[buzz9961]

@spunkflunk no

[Ramdompcgamer]

I am getting 2 of these to replace my old card

[N11kon]

I'm getting this for Battlefield 3,I also have a intel core 2 duo @ e7600. Can i put it on high settings on 1280@1024?

[BlumiLand]

@N11kon

Not with your lame proccesor

[N11kon]

@BlumiLand I think i can :P dunno why,but currently with an ati hd 5570 i can put on medium and it doesen't drop below 30. So i think i will

[TERMINATORPortugal]

My MSI GTX560 (Non Ti) I s now at:

Core Clock: 953Mhz

Shader Clock: 1906Mhz

Memory Clock: 2040

It's almost the same has having a Ti version!

Overclocked with MSI Afterburner

[12860682321]

@TERMINATORPortugal You can also can get a higher core clock aka 1GHZ just by increasing the core voltage in the Gigabyte overclocking utility, it not the best but it the only program without changing anything, that will change the voltage.

[FFF693]

In sli very good!!

[Agoraptor]

is this really 24.1cm? mine is 22.5 cm, by gigabyte

[TheVieverselis]

Wtf??? How its so much slower in mafia 2 than gtx 560 ti, and is so similar in other tests???

[TalesOfWar]

@TheVieverselis Less CUDA cores.

[linminhtoo]

@TheVieverselis ti version is much better for a few more bucks (50 more at most)

[galaxiesaver]

@TheVieverselis yeah probably cause of it has less CUDA cores than the ti

[MrBoxfacetramp13]

@TheVieverselis Driver Issues no doubt

[deanSidlow]

would i be able to run this card on a 500w psu?

[hoppsan4]

@deanSidlow Recomended to have 500w or more so I guess

[12860682321]

@hoppsan4 You don't need a 500 watt power supply, you only need a PSU that can supply 225 watt to the video card because of the 3X 75 watt input it needs, so if you are doing extreme overclocking or have a fast CPU or many hard drives then you will need a bigger PSU.

[zennus1]

@deanSidlow Minimum System Power Requirement for this card is 450W

[shawnspeed3]

Wrangler jeans sux...I bought this for $150, why spend $200 for the TI? SLI this 560 OC and I won't need any more power for 1080p...there is such a thing as overkill and waste of money!

[et7313]

This song kicks ass. Who plays it and what's it called?



[MageDb0w]

Hello, what's the fps difference between 560 nonti and 560 ti in bf3?

[Agoraptor]

Do you think this will fit into my Dell Inspiron 620?

[wanted810]

Better is GTX 560 Ti

[Agoraptor]

will this overheat in a dell inspiron 620? thanks

[lionfw]

The gtx560 is supposed to be contending with the radeon 6870 not the 6950.

[larlar752000]

@lionfw That is wrong... The GTX 560 is pretty much the same as the 6950

[MageDb0w]

@larlar752000 do u think the gtx 560 can run bf3 with 60+ fps with 1920x1080 and lowest settings(or around that)

[larlar752000]

@MageDb0w I have a EVGA GTX 560 SC and it runs BF3 at 80 fps on all high settings with and without 2x AA and once everything is blowing up(and I mean everything on a 64 man server) it never goes under 40 fps ever and it doesn't even lag then. I have 4GB of GSkill ram and a 955BE OCed to 3.84GHz

[larlar752000]

@MageDb0w Same resolution btw

[larlar752000]

@lionfw Dammit sorry I thought I read 560 Ti... Yes the 560 non Ti is for 6870 and the GTX 560 Ti is supposed to go against the 6950 since it's in the same bracket but also if you get a GTX 560 non Ti classified or SC it catches up to the 6950.

[HulkHows92]

Whit that cross at the neck you look like Vin Diesel in FnF :D

[rooo1o]

I didn't know the 560 Ti was so far behind the 6950...Man am I glad I went with AMD two months ago

[vkiblackout]

I got mine overclocked w/ 2gb vid ram:D

[Landak36]

HD 6870 is more better :)

[DiViNiTY1337]

What's Ti?

[awesomereece123]

@DiViNiTY1337 it just means it's a re-visited upgraded edition

[Agoraptor]

@awesomereece123 But the Ti version was made before the actual GTX 560!!

[awesomereece123]

@Agoraptor That may be the case, interesting one at that, but the Ti version is still much better.

[deatheater63]

Im sorry i cant find any place that sells the 6950 for less than 250 bucks

[AK47extra]

MW3 its same as black ops just new maps (fail) i love this card 900Mhz

[IconQuan]

Great review but my dude! you got your hands on the pins! >:O

[thesportstv1]

which is gud card gtx 560 or gtxt 560 ti? any idea

[McBeast22]

@thesportstv1 Zotac 560 AMP! has almost the same or somewhere even score than 560ti and its cheaper.

[thesportstv1]

@McBeast22 so zotac 550 amp is better than 560 ti?

[McBeast22]

@thesportstv1 nope but the 560 AMP! non ti is very simular to 560 ti because its GPU is factory overclocked to 950 mhz

[gamerNL222]

will the gtx 560 run skyrim well?

[davelikescake1]

@gamerNL222 im here the exact same reason...-.- my graphics card sucks for skyrim.

[TIZ012]

@davelikescake1 Skyrim maxed out completely everything, resolution @ 1920x1080 make sure u have a quad core CPU 2 get similar performance.

[TIZ012]

@TIZ012 sorry i'm talking about the GTX TI maxing everything on Skyrim...not the GTX

[davelikescake1]

@TIZ012 so you need a cpu like that aswell? im really not sure about much : / i didnt even build my own pc XD

[TIZ012]

@davelikescake1 lol its ok..if its a high clock speed dual core its still good and u might get similar performance :D

[davelikescake1]

@TIZ012 all righty then :P thanks for the info :D

[TheLestijn]

@gamerNL222 Yes, with other good components on ultra, you can also easily run BF3 with this one!

[TRichards66]

@gamerNL222 It definately should, i run skyrim on max settings (except shadows) aswell as graphic mods with the GT 440

[PanaMacSpana]

The 1gb 6950 totally blows it out of the park...that can't be right.

[The64BitGeek]

I have an old 550 watt PSU that has two 6 pin connections on one single cable.

Does that work with this card or does it need two seperate cables?

[funkydeu]

nice amp under the table!

[WLOfails]

gtx 560 or radeon hd 6950???? whats better?

and what does PC gaming (bf3) require more? memory clock or core clock?

[RidzRSBuddy]

What's the difference between the gigabyte gtx 560 and the geforce gtx 560? Nothing, right?

[powmful]

@aFatBear5090

A GTX460 will run BF3 very well, let alone a 560.

[superjervis]

i get the feeling that this card runs cool:)

[THuGZZTA]

5:05 " to get double the poor performance." I think I will be being the 6950 now.

[victor7491]

what is the song used during the benchmarks?

[OrangeLightUk]

ugly card

[rautrohit]

i am running BF3 on ultra settings with my gtx 560, the game is running smoothly, but the problem is the graphic card temperature! after playing for half an hour, tthe temperature of gpu reaches 90 C ! :o....wat can be done guyz?

[aFatBear5090]

How easy is it to overclock a GTX560? Also, will it run BF3 well? what about MW3?

[chanakyadevil]

@aFatBear5090 A software comes with the package, & if you cannot make out how to use it , just youtube it.

BF 3 & MW 3 well, in average at 30-40-50 fps, IN short never less than 30 fps. ;)

[vanhakaveri]

@aFatBear5090 mw3 max for sure, cause its 100% mw2 copy.

[victor7491]

@aFatBear5090 it will run bf3 on max with at least 30 fps (I may be wrong about that) and it probably won't even feel mw3 :D

[spykissa2]

@aFatBear5090 not sure about bf3, i belive most setting on high and some on medium at 1080p, and mw3 will run on max settings/1080p. :D im gettin new computer with 560ti, now i have 9800gt and it runs mw2 on max settings at 1080p and mw2 and mw3 dont have much difference on their graphics :)

[chrisfur2]

@aFatBear5090 mw3 is the same specs needed to run mw 1.

[HdDefused]

@aFatBear5090 yer it will run both of them very well

[WLOfails]

@aFatBear5090 BF3 has a shit ton more graphics than mw3 and gtx 560 is recommended by Nvidia and DICE to run bf3 on 1920x1080 resolution atleast 45 fps average.

[AngryNinja42x7]

@aFatBear5090 This card is recommended to run Battle field 3 and I've seen a 450 run modern warfare 3 just fine for the fact it uses DirectX 9 graphics.

[TIZ012]

@aFatBear5090 BF3 all maxed out @ 1920x1080 yes unfortunatly had 2 overclock my GTX560 TI...i automatically think ur talking about the TI sorry....if ur talking about just GTX it won't max out everything but very close

[TIZ012]

@aFatBear5090 if ur asking about ease...its piss easy to overclock any graphics card just don't screw up the clocks 2 much, try to overclock everything proportionally...if u asking about over-volting and OCing thats a different story then i suggest u don't do it. Stick to safe overclocking

[thundergod6115]

@aFatBear5090 i have a non ti and it runs bf3 maxed out with 4xmsaa at around 30-40 fps

[MrN1kk]

@aFatBear5090 are you joking about mw3?

[MangaFreak2000]

@aFatBear5090 A Intel HD graphics chipset can run MW3, the game is the same as MW2 and BLOPS.

[PanaMacSpana]

@aFatBear5090

It trumps MW3, and runs BF3 on ultra upwards of a consistent 45-60fps sans high anti aliasing options at 1920x1080.

[MrTURBOJOHN]

@aFatBear5090 My GTX560 (stock clocked at 810 I OCed at 850) can run BF3 with low 30s FPS in 1080p sometimes drops to twenties

I may be able to OC it even more but I play for safety

BTW I have a GTX560 MSI

not twin frozr

[GameDeluxeHD]

@aFatBear5090 bf3 runs greats on me!

[awesomereece123]

@aFatBear5090 Just get the GTX 560Ti instead, it's much better than the non Ti

[Decalto35]

@aFatBear5090 it will run mw3 on max very well. But for bf3 u still can go ultra but u may have to sacrifice the anti aliasing and motion blur

[Dan81369]

@aFatBear5090

i can rum mw3 maxed out queit smooth with my laptop 2x 2.20 ghz and gt 220m. Got bout 40 fps ;)

[gorge464]

@aFatBear5090 The thing can get around 40 to 50 frames between battlefield 3 and MW3 on full HD and higher resolution on a single monitor. You won't be able though to get max settings on full HD. The main difference is Anti-aliasing. In full HD it may not be noticeable anyways. So yes, this will run and get good performance on both games.

[mda21996]

@aFatBear5090 dude my n64 can run mw3

[vanroz24]

@aFatBear5090 my gt 6600 can run mw3 on max, lol

[WetOct0puS]

@vanroz24 anything can run CoD

[jonesboyy93]

9 1/2 inches long!!!! thats the size of my dick xD lol

[Shaverea]

@jonesboyy93 Congratz, you have now earned 10 internet moneyz and +25% internetz coolnes

[jonesboyy93]

@Shaverea U Mad Bro?

[Shaverea]

@jonesboyy93 C:

[MrN1kk]

@jonesboyy93 cool story bro.

[tarekmallo]

Will this be a good upgrade from a GTX 460?

[Mastersaofan]

will this be a good upgrade from a gtx 275? pls help

[FFF693]

Q9650 3.0 :/

[HELLFIREV1]

In the next few months I'm buying components for my new PC. Wondering if it's any good?

Asus crosshair iv formula 890fx

AMD Phenom II x6 Black Edition

Corsair 4GB DDR3

Plus THIS card as well (meaning the one shown in vid).

[MrZhaopow]

@HELLFIREV1 dont buy amd..........

[HELLFIREV1]

@MrZhaopow  What CPU would you recommend then?

[MrZhaopow]

@HELLFIREV1 the intel i3 is good enough for gaming but if you want to use it for a few years then get an i5 but if your rich buy the i7

[3nrasandun]

@HELLFIREV1 Your computer will be good for gaming. But I recommend an Intel comp for u. HAPPY GAMING !!!

[rautrohit]

pls help,

i want to assemble a gaming /animation PC. i am thinking of buying intel icore i7 2600k processor. but today i got info tht if u r using this processor, then graphics card is not needed, as it had got intel hd graphics 3000. and i was thinking of buying separate nvidia gtx 560ti. but still if i buy both, will both work together giving max output from both? or will only either of them provide graphics and leave the other useless?

what shld i do? pls suggest

[WorldPeaceGaming]

@rautrohit no the intel is the onboard one. like in built. so if ur gna game yeah u prob will want to buya 560 ti or 6950 and no they wont work together. with the intel u most likely cant even play easy to run games. if u hv a 560 or any other gfx card working then the intel should be deemed useless. my suggestion would be the i5 2500k and a 560 ti.

[rautrohit]

@WorldPeaceGaming - thanx for the reply :), the i5 2500k was my alternative to i7 2600k, but i am not just gamer but also an animator, i will be doing 3d editing, rendering, video editing, photoshop etc. so do u think i5 2500k will be enough for gaming as well as animation softwares?? bcoz computer engineer said i7 2600k will be essential.

[WorldPeaceGaming]

@rautrohit yea it will b enough. if u got the mone yhell yeah go for 2600k. its not exactly "essential" but more "recommended". imp editing and photoshop that kinda stuff doesnt need 2600k but wtvr floats or boat. u can go google stuff but for 220 for the 2500k i think that shld b enough. amd also has cards specialized in 3d type editing liek firepro. but if i were you and wasnt on a budget, 2600k, 8gbram and up, 560 ti or better (id go for a 580, 6970, or 6990), and some big power

[rautrohit]

@WorldPeaceGaming - my budget is Rs 50,000 (approx usd 1000) and prices in india here are diff than wat in us (even if converted from dollar to rupees)..so i will also hv to look upon the prices of the specs........and also even i think 8 gb ram is enough for me, but my computer engineer recommended 16 gb ram for me :o i was shocked :p i havent heard anyone having 16 gb ram in their pc....lol, but anyways thanx for the reply and advice, i will c wat works out for my pc

[WorldPeaceGaming]

@rautrohit yeah 16 would be nice. but honestly for 1000 4 gb would still be sufficient. for 1000 idk if u can fit a 2600k i think u can.2600k plus 6970 8gb ram get a good case like the nzxt phantom prob 650watt psu, some extra case fans, cpu cooler, yeah. buy from newegg online its cheapest, plus im sponsored by them :)

[rautrohit]

@WorldPeaceGaming - i wish i cld hv bought it online, but i live in india, so not possible. and ya i think i will go for 8 gb ram only, 16 gb will be extraordinary. is smps and psu same? bcoz my PC technician advised me 500w one.

[WorldPeaceGaming]

@rautrohit yeah smps and psu is prety much the same but ihvnt herd of it recently.uh google power supply calculator but for 8gb with a i7a nd a high end gfx card id go for 600 and up

[rautrohit]

@WorldPeaceGaming - hmm, good point then! ...i will look into it. so now my config is almost final

intel i7 2600k

nvidia gtx 560 / ti

8 gb ram

i am looking to buy "Intel® Desktop Board DZ68DB" bcoz it combines the gpu of onbaord graphics of i7 with my gtx 560 graphic card by installing virtue software. any suggestion on this mobo?

[WorldPeaceGaming]

@rautrohit i honestly dont think u need it. some typa fancy one. just get some 4 or 5 star one thats cheap and supports 4 memory slots 1 or 2 pcie slots and a i7

[rautrohit]

hmm ya and its expensive too. i thought of tht bcoz i will mostly use the gpu of gtx 560 graphic card, but then the onboard gpu of i7 will be useless and be wasted....... so u mean it wont make big diff by combining both bcoz gtx 560 is enough ?? ?

[WorldPeaceGaming]

@rautrohit i dont even think u can. its pretty much useless.most other moobos come with a onboard gfx card but it sucks majorly and most enthusiasts buy a good 200 dollar one. dont worry bout that part just go for a regular mobo

[kevin3157]

I dont now buy a 560 or an 560 ti pls some one tell me pls

[chezitdude]

@kevin3157 gtx 560 is less money. gtx 560 ti performs much better.

Get the gtx 560 ti

[WorldPeaceGaming]

@kevin3157 depends what ur gaming. thers a prety big price difference. the 560 can handle everything the ti can just not as good. if ur on a budget go for 560 but a ti is better if u need the boost

[MrJrMcLovin]

would the non Ti run well on Battlefield 3 ?

[HillySeTzonE]

Got mine today :D

[ItWasntMe456]

i think you missed the point. the 560ti is better, but in this video he is unboxing a 560 non ti.

[GameDeluxeHD]

nope 6950 sucks



[ItWasntMe456]

the new 460. if you have a gtx 460 now, this will not be an upgrade.

[PTNLemay]

What does Ti stand for?

[oOoDeadlyoOo]

@PTNLemay Ti=Titanium

[Recon9143]

worth it over the ti?

[munroe4985]

@Recon9143 Personally as there's only a slight improvement with the Ti version it's not worth it for the extra £40-£50

[TheKjhouse]

@munroe4985 erm yes it is :P

[Blackthorne2010]

Which performs better? This or the HD 6870?

[ionutfaraz]

@Blackthorne2010 the gtx 560 is 5% better than the 6870 both on stock, but on max overclock the difference between those 2 increases to 10-15%(560 more overclock headroom)

[AWSOMECOOLDUDE99]

Can this card with the AMD Phenom ii x4 run crysis on highest settings?

[AlbinoKoala15]

@AWSOMECOOLDUDE99 indeed it can unless u have shit ram n bad motherboard n psu lol

[AWSOMECOOLDUDE99]

@AlbinoKoala15 kk thanks and i have 8GB DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory and the motherboard is NVIDIA GeForce 7025

[ChubbySticks]

@AWSOMECOOLDUDE99 yes most likely if not it can overclock to similar performance of standard 560 ti and then it will deffo play well

[bradman5505]

what is the power supply requirement for this card?

[TheParped]

@bradman5505 500watts
