Gigabyte Intros GeForce GTX 560 Ti Super Overclock Graphics Card

[btarunr]

Gigabyte released a new GeForce GTX 560 Ti Super Overclock graphics card model. The GV-N560SO-1GI-950 from Gigabyte features an out of the box core clock speed of 950 MHz, 1900 MHz CUDA core speed, and 1145 MHz (4580 MHz effective) GDDR5 memory speed. The new model is slightly slower than the GV-N560SO-1GI the company released last month, which has clock speeds of 1000/2000/1145 MHz. The GTX 560 Ti SOC from Gigabyte is based on a custom design PCB that uses Ultra Durable VGA+ high grade components, and WindForce 2X cooler.

The WindForce 2X cooler makes use of a large aluminum fin array to which heat is conveyed by a number of copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the GPU. The heatsink is ventilated by two 80 fans. Like every other GeForce GTX 560 Ti, the DirectX 11 compliant GPU packs 384 CUDA cores, and makes use of 1 GB of GDDR5 memory over a 256-bit wide memory interface. Display outputs include two DVI and one mini-HDMI. Gigabyte did not give out pricing, but one can expect it to be lower than that of the 1000 MHz SOC variant.

is it me or is a 1ghz core going to start becoming standard soon for cards?

 

[cowie]

yes if you think 1g soc to 950 soc card is leading to more 1g cards??

I've been following tech for quite sometime, and I can say with confidence, clock speeds have a tendency to keep getting higher.

Are you serious?! I just ordered the Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti yesterday! (900MHz clock). Oh well.

there were barely enough gigabyte gtx 560 ti SOC's to go around. some websites here in the uk have either taken them down or put them on a timeless pre-order list. This means that only a small number of cards can actually hit 1 ghz. probably why gigabyte came out with a slightly more watered down version of it...
