MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II Video Card Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

[44Robman44]

This one, or the ASUS one?

[killyamomz]

1 GTX 580 3GB or 2 MIS GTX 560i 2gb cards?

On the following build:

Asus maximus 4 extreme z68

Intel core i7 2600k

16gb HyperX quad core ram

850 psu

800D case

500gb hd - waiting for price to go down for a decent 2-3TB

2 of these currently is the price of 1 EVGA gtx 580 3gb

[JARMOPOWER]

@killyamomz Two 560

[44Robman44]

@killyamomz I would get 580, then you could upgrade later on to two of them.

[matter37b]

@grim4078 You would need a better psu, I believe it's 750w reccommended for most sli setups, but I'm not 100% sure about that, check the nvidia site to make sure, the only other problem I would have is possible heat issues or if you have the space on ur mobo

[MrScheieen]

Can anyone tell me how long this card is ? :)

[TankadinFTW1]

@MrScheieen 9.37 inches

[grim4078]

Hi! Would This setup be able to support upto 2 of these cards in SLI?

intel i5 2500k Quad Core Processor at 3.3Ghz

8 GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM

Gigabyte Z68 motherboard

Coolermaster Hyper 212 CPU cooler

500GB SATA3 Hard Drive

600w Be Quiet! Gold Standard PSU

Thank you! :D

[nTELHD]

@grim4078 No it wouldnt.The power-supply isnt good enough go with 750 watt.

[grim4078]

@nTELHD Thanks :) I was going to upgrade to a corsair 750watt :)

[nTELHD]

@grim4078 sweet as.That should do the trick

[BrandonDaviess]

would this rig be ok;

8 gb ram

amd ii x4 960t

msi gtx 560

700w psu

1tb hdd

[9ggubZprod]

@BrandonDaviess I don't understand why people don't put a little more money into pc and go with a intel setup, but w/e. Yes, this card would work fine.

[ShackMool]

@BrandonDaviess amd ii x4 960t, get out the amd, get in a 2500k

[nexas16]

@ShackMool the 960t is almost two times cheaper than 2500k and still brings awesome performance. Probably 960t has a better price per performance ratio than 2500k

[Candy2Lolipop]

a msi gtx560ti twin frozrII/oc 2gb is very good specially if you play on multi monitor or you play bf3 at ultra high settings and metro 2033

[TheUndercoverFlame]

Does anyone know if this will fit in a Cooler Master 310 Elite?

[TheDeltaFlight]

@TheUndercoverFlame I know Linus says this card is the "Best price-to-proformance" but this video is a year old. I would go with a GTX 570 if I were you ;)

[t3chno0locker]

@TheDeltaFlight or two of these :)

[BestzXProductions]

@TheUndercoverFlame Have you buyed this, if so did it fit in your CM 310 Elite :) ? Im thinking of buying this but i dont know if it will fit in CM 310 Elite.

[TheUndercoverFlame]

@BestzXProductions Well, i bought the ASUS 560 Ti top but i think it is a bit bigger than the MSI. The ASUS fits perfectly in a Cooler Master 310 elite :) I'm pretty sure your MSI will fit.

[JacquesBauer89]

Mine arrived this morning, performance aside (which is top notch), this is an absolutely GORGEOUS card.

[liamcos97]

I have a problem, when i am either a game or web browsing or just about anything my monitors (i have dual monitors) start to "spaz out." the only way to stop it is to unplug my machine, but when i turn it back on it does the same thing again. Please help me. Thanks

[iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1]

wow, where u got Nvidia card??, the ones that are the nearest to the ones made by nvidia are evga,whic i don't like and i think it's garbage, mostly their surperclocked, u can buy this msi for less and get more

[iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1]

GO custom Go pro Go Msi!!!

[INSANE8849]

you sound like d0n7bl1nk



[Ijohanfree]

Where is crazy russian?

[SavageUnit]

whats difference between the Geforce GTX 560 an the 560 Ti? is it a big difference?

[kuusj98]

@SavageUnit the 560ti has more "processors"

[magicmagic99]

@SavageUnit A performance increase, especially an overclocked 560 ti will have quite the difference between the regular 560

[inriches]

Bought this and a Corsair 500W CX Builder Series V2 powersupply for my HP Pavillion elite HPE 310-nl, hope it fits and works without problems!

[davidalex712]

so which do you think is better? the MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II which you reviewed or the MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk?

[deterdettol]

@davidalex712 They both give the same performance. But the hawk edition has even better cooling performance.

[AndrewMunroGuitarist]

Just did a new build, didn't want to pay out for a 580 so I got one of these babies! Look's sick, should do me well for longer than I was expecting! (I was just going to use it until I could afford better but will just stick with this one now!)

[STAKERism]

What is the best buy? SLI GTX 560 Ti or a single GTX 580??

[threatfiree]

@STAKERism sli 560 trust me its worth it, but it depends if u have enough power/pci cables for em XD

[TeamModernWarfail]

How does this card compared to the msi radeon 5950 twin frozr iii that happens to come with dirt 3?

[Timurchin1]

this card is very nice

[Alcadeias2]

shot bro - the 3d mark 11 key worked :D

[AdityaNair1000]

who got the 3dmark 11?

[bow2urepnoy2]

bought this card today! i think i'm set for a couple of years ^_^

[Lukeriddoch]

LOL the code worked for me :D

[yippithebest]

first person unboxing :)

[isaiaswf]

A minha Chega daqui 21 Dias =D

[Palillos1337]

thats why i like the cooler on the 580... all the air pumps out of the case rather than in.

[killerhenk1]

i bougt this card but can't find a full cover waterblock :(

[FranBunnyFFXII]

@killerhenk1 Why the fuck would you buy a card with such an extensive cooling heat sink and then fucking remove it and try to put a water block on it

Seriously what the fuck dude?

[18janto]

I luv TWIN FROZRRR

[maxitaxi234]

I just got this card but its just the 560 not 560 ti but the box is exactly the same havnt installed it yet but im hoping it will run battlefield 3

[EliteSalad]

[xPhanrisalx]

[TKarali]

@PeekMePlay Thats a processor problem. Obviously your processor is burnt out

[PeekMePlay]

@TKarali hehe card works :P ^^

[xxxN1nJa5k1LZxxx]

[xxxN1nJa5k1LZxxx]

[TheKahanex]

[TheKillerFabivs]

@TheKahanex Of course you can

[MageDb0w]

Hey guys, can you tell me if this card will fit into my motherboard? I have MSI H61MU-E35 REV B3 it's a mATX and such.

[xxvladekxx]

Im still happy with my MSI GTX580 Lightning Xtreme edition.3GB card, no SLI stutter /drool

[TheParallex]

i wish gpu's would go the other way up so i can hae the fans showing up in my case

[zeogravity20]

twin frozr look so cool!!! makes me wanna spend the extra 20-30 bucks over other brands

[taimooralibukhari]

Got this yesterday from NCIX

[nhs2008NC]

Oh those protective covers are necessary! especially if you live closer to the beach like me, things tend to get rusty real quick here! especially the ports! I live them on for what I don't need.

[xiaostoryx]

Nice review!

[xXFirzenXx]

What PSU should I get with this GFX since im going to buy it this week?

[nhs2008NC]

@xXFirzenXx A good 80+ rated 500w should do fine for ONE of these.

[DcSoft007]

@xXFirzenXx I'd say get something like a 650w Corsair or XFX, good brand, parts made by seasonic and you can just about pull of a sli setup for later on

[semen47]

Linuses voice convinced me.. Buying it tomorrow.

[ChickoBistro]

whats the length of the card?

[DonnyRedNr1]

I'm gonna buy the GTX 560 Ti, but I am looking for one model in particular, called "Sparkle Calibre X560". But I simply cannot find it anywhere!! It comes in a nice black box and the Card is equipped with 2 purple fans and 4 heat pipes... Does anyone know where to get that? I'm so in love with that one :'(. I mean this (remove spaces): sparkle- usa.c om/ news_date .asp? seq=63 Thanks in advance!!!

[Viroth100]

[eBombzor]

[robrok2010]

@eBombzor Sorry - I am from latvia.

[ASAWProductions]

@robrok2010 Its only US $250

[SkadeDK]

@ASAWProductions Yes but unfortunately not everybody lives in the US where all hardware is more or less dirt cheap.

[Jormungandr69]

@ASAWProductions 400 here

[Pozpenguin]

Gimme Gimme

[TheUkzzMostWantedx]

Can this run crysis on ultra settings?

[FanLPer]

@TheUkzzMostWantedx yes

[rikguitar1]

@TheUkzzMostWantedx

i can run rollercoaster tycoon 1 on ultra settings

[Lamsednav]

@rikguitar1 with anti-aliasing???

[slybunda]

yours is different to mine, my card has a heatsink over the mosfets next to the chokes.

[Nyllet1221]

does anyone know if there is any msi sticker for this card because i bought this card (thanks to linus's reviews!) and i thought it was going to have stickers like my old hd 4850 but it didnt. almost made me sad but my case may or may not look more clean without it.

[thesportstv1]

is there a difference btween MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II vs nvidia gtx 560 ti???

[DjMell0]

@thesportstv1 yes, the MSI gtx 560 ti runs much cooler then the nvidia model. this helps if your going to overclock it

[TyKexBK]

@thesportstv1 Yes, it is factory overclocked so it comes out of the box with much better performance. It also runs much cooler allowing for even more overclocking.

[thesportstv1]

@TyKexBK so twin frozr is better than nvidia model shud i get it without doubts?:D

[TyKexBK]

@thesportstv1 Definitely!

[thesportstv1]

@TyKexBK thnx mate

[hydrokraze]

How good is this to run 3ds max 2012 iray technology?

[tavi921]

@hydrokraze go for quadro!

[bargman100]

the 6950 is better and it can also be unlocked to 6970......

[Chainzaw1447]

@bargman100 Must be ref, doesn't have cuda or physX, also a longer card. So it's not that kind of a deal :)

[bargman100]

@bargman100 Yes but in case you unlock it you get far better performance

[TyKexBK]

@bargman100 The 6950 is better than the GTX 560 and GTX 560 Ti, however the Twin Frozr II is much cooler, better for the price, and can be overclocked much higher because of the cooling system.

[mononker]

@TyKexBK the 6950 is not better than the 560 ti O/C.

[trikstadude3]

@bargman100 Not all 6950's can be unlocked. Plus it voids your warranty. If you wanted to go that route get that Toxic edition.

[LaggyDie]

6950 or this ? :(

[Aztekninja123]

@LaggyDie I will be buying this, mainly since i don't know much about ATI's GPUs.

[romario50001]

@LaggyDie 560ti

[BGamerPCReviews]

max overclock speed bro is? thanx

[blackrack2008]

will this work on an antec 520W PSU ?? I believe it has a single pci-e 6-pin connector

[ItalyNerf]

@blackrack2008 Nope, you need 2 6-pin pci-e connectors.

[blackrack2008]

@ItalyNerf it's okay actually, the GPU comes with two molex to 6-pin pci-e adapters

[bigmitchpreston]

how big of of a psu do u need? i have a 450w atm

[tavi921]

1:58 - is that a bike in the background?

[PortugeesDaBest]

so um... how do i put one of these into my computer and much do one of these cost?

[superpeep12]

should i get a 2gb 550ti or this card in 1gb??

[GuitarBoy152]

@superpeep12 this 1

[superpeep12]

@GuitarBoy152 will 1 gb be enough?

[GuitarBoy152]

@superpeep12 yes

[ItalyNerf]

@superpeep12 This card, memory isn't performance.

[superpeep12]

@ItalyNerf will 1gb be enough and why does the card need memory what does it store?

[ItalyNerf]

@superpeep12 Depends on what resolution you run your games. The memory on the graphics card stores the information of the image that it's rendering.

[superpeep12]

@ItalyNerf ok thanks

[ecofriendlyidea]

hi guys i just wanna know the about the durability of this product because i have seen the reviews of newegg there were many complains about having artifacts and green lines in the monitor after a few months plsss reply

[WowMike2002]

Just ordered up the 2GB MSI 560ti Twin Frozr II! :-) Literally did it an hour ago, shoudl be here around Wednesday! Good replacement for my 260 GTX 216 core. Cant wait! I game in 1920x1200, my current card was handling it on medium with some lag slightly here and there.. I wanted to push it up to max settings ;)

[Edge0fPain]

1. Gets 6850 Crossfire

2. ???

3. Profit

($50 more for me than single 560 Ti, better performance)

[Lukeriddoch]

@Edge0fPain you get more upgrade-ability with a single card solution though

[Edge0fPain]

@Lukeriddoch

Worst excuse for single card solution evar.

[ZeynTM]

Thumbs up if you wish to buy this, but you don't have enough money! :)

[Kandis93]

@ZeynTM Go get a job newb

[MuddaphuckinG]

@ZeynTM I received mine today. It's now in my pc. :)

[ZeynTM]

@MuddaphuckinG You're lucky :) Good gaming mate :)

[frozenskipper]

GTX 570 Classified... Fuck. Yeah.

[DeathDalek193]

i heard the MSI version had an extremely high rate of failure?

[ZerkosXD]

is HDMI better than VGA? i have a 1080p monitor. thanks

[frozenskipper]

@ZerkosXD Much better.

[ZerkosXD]

@frozenskipper thanks i think i have a HDMI port on my monitor.

[frozenskipper]

@ZerkosXD NP :)

[LeftLegFilms]

@ZerkosXD I WOULD SAY SO BUT, ONLY SLIGHTLY

[saurabh93051]

will bf3 run in max setttings on res 1920x1080 wid core i7

+8GB ram??

[DeathDalek193]

@saurabh93051 yes.

[Thestupits]

@saurabh93051 jep

[Ricordic]

Soon im my Case :D

[24allix]

450gts is fine for me =) (14 inch monitor)

[BillyIsBeastHD]

what power supply would you reccomend ?

[ItWasntMe456]

@BillyIsBeastHD corsair cx 500. i have this card and this power supply on a gigabyte 970-UD3 motherboard with an athlon dual core cpu and was amazed at the performance numbers, not to mention the low temps. im staying with amd cpus, but not getting bulldozer.

[BillyIsBeastHD]

@ItWasntMe456 thanks

[24allix]

@BillyIsBeastHD you really only need a good quality 450 watt, but it couldn't hurt to go with 500-600. I build computers with cards like this on 300 watt and lower PSU's. It just depends on the rest of your parts

[LeftLegFilms]

@BillyIsBeastHD At least a 600 watt but i personally got and 850 watt to have room for upgrades

[superpeep12]

@LeftLegFilms if you buy an 850 when you only need 700 will the computer limit it to 700?

[LeftLegFilms]

@superpeep12 yes of corse

[QuanticDARKFiRE]

@zeenoBot get the 560ti, the twin frozr version if you can :)

[LeftLegFilms]

@zeenoBot Get this it is well worth it

[kloklo12389]

is a 550 W PSU enough?

[streetplayer1987]

i have this in SLI with gigabyte gtx 560 ti

[karadan100]

I just bought this card to play BF3 on.

I'm almost puking with excitement.

[Gonzales2009]

Can this beast run Diablo 2???

[5windlz]

@Gonzales2009 No, you may have to SLi it :(

[alejandro10AS]

gtx 560 ti or hd 6950??

[harrydoxisthechubaca]

i bought this card to play skyrim... lol

[harrydoxisthechubaca]

if this doesnt run battlefield decently then i dont know what gpu will... seriously

[mafiatf]

I don't need max settings... During the BF3 Beta I lagged on lowest settings even (I have an ASUS EAH4890 TOP). I just want a playable framerate and then up the settings accordingly.

[FcGrreat]

can i run BTF 3 on 1920x1080 on max settings?

[mayastipeduje]

@FcGrreat i dont think so

[TeamPlayerLP]

tumbs up if u buy this card just to play battlefield 3 in 1080p and max settings :D

[MikeLopresti360]

@TeamPlayerLP for what else would you get it? lol..

[KingStivan]

@TeamPlayerLP i have 2 of them in sli and the fps sucks :P ofc im runing them at MAX every thing ^^
