GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) GV-N560OC-1GI Video Card

Comment:
I run Skyrim on Ultra and BF3 on High with no issues. Card is usually running at around 50 degrees and stays quiet. I would definitely recommend this card for the price.

Efficiency is a good step up from an ati 4870. Temps are cool and Globe of Warcraft, Rift, and Age of Conan run well. Drivers. Flat out the worst drivers i've seen from a business considering that three years ago ati's drivers. Only the 266.6 drivers would perform for the longest time and even then sketchy occasionally. Newest drivers nonetheless randomly crash and reload the driver. BSOD's a a lot.. spent a whole day ripping out my hair to figure these issues out. No thanks. What occurred to nvidia? Applied to be the cream of the crop, now just seriously disappointed.

I had this up to 980mhz core clock easily, and temperature still didn't get above 70, normal temp in BF3 is 45-50, Fans have never needed to go above 60% very quite, my HDD is louder.With my I5, plays Skyrim on ultra, BF3 on high, with frame rate always above 35-40 and up to 80-100

fantastic feature set, superior value, nicely built. Doesn't display any video to my old 20" CRT that worked fine with an old 7900GS and an 8800 GTS 512. but I've tried a 460, a 465 and this 560 and none worked with the great good quality but old CRT display. incredibly very annoying.

Bought 2 of these cards (1 for myself, and the other for a friend). We are both very pleased at the performance this card offers. Playing BF3 on high settings for just over $200 is nothing to complain about.The only issue I have with the card (and it may not even be the card) is that on my friends system, he randomly gets an error stating 'GPU has suffered a critical error' and then the system resets. We are both running identical Z68 systems, so why he is getting the errors and I am not is puzzling.The card looks great and performs very well. Would actually consider purchasing another for an SLI setup.Has my recommendation.

Had some driver issues with battlefield 3 requiring a down clock of the GPU to run with out crash. After a couple of driver releases problem was solved.

I bought this card as an upgrade from a 8800 GTS 640mb, and it was well worth it! I could barely run games like Skyrim and Arkham City with my old card, and after using this card, I was running these games on maximum settings! I bought this card on sale and got an extra copy of Arkham City for free with it, which I just gave to a friend. Surely there were faster cards on the market at the time I bought this card, but this card had the best price / performance ratio, so it was definitely worth it!

Runs cool and quiet, idles about 30°C and gets to about 50°C when taxed. Runs almost everything I throw at it wonderfully. HDMI dongle is too wide for my case (CM690 II Advanced). I am going to have to buy a conversion cable for about ten bucks. This card is nevertheless wonderful, just wanted to note it. Best card for the cash, Gigabyte makes excellent items.

It's a very rapidly card and incredibly quiet so far. I haven't knowledgeable the troubles in games others have. It's big but fits fine in my Antec 300.It went down in cost บ after I purchased it. Dragon Age two looks excellent even though I'm not able to run it with all the highest detail settings at 1920x1200. The Radeon HD 6950 may be a superior card for only a slightly higher cost appropriate now and that's why I only gave it four eggs.Intel i5-2500k @ 4.5GHzGigabyte GA-P67A-UD3Gigabyte GTX 560TiGSkill Ripjaws X 8GB DDR3 1600Mushkin Enhanced Callisto 120GB SSDAntec 300Hyper 212+

Plays anything I throw at it maxed out settings at 1920x1200.Quiet, like Scythe quiet, when not playing gamesMuch more amazingly, fairly quiet even when playing games! More than the years I got applied to a raging howl coming from my personal computer when gaming. I had gone to water cooling on my box because of the issue. I bought this card and am now sticking with air cool, it is quieter than my W/C pump was!When gaming, core temps are 50C - 55C, incredibly superior for a performance GPU. None. I had a GTX275 Gigabyte Overclocked card ahead of this. It was terribly loud. I got the quietest pump I could uncover and went water cooled. Unfortunately no full coverage cooler fit the 275 (was not reference style) so I had to go the stick on heat sink route. These couldn't maintain the power MOSFETs cool enough so I had to mount a fan to blow on my water cooled video card. The mount I came up with was bojankedy and I couldn't put the side of the case on.Soon after a year of this I got sick of it and picked up this card simply because of what I had heard about its efficiency and quietness. This card is so quiet and potent I was able to ditch my water cooling entirely and now have a nice clean searching create that closes up, sounds like absolutely nothing, and never overheats.

First thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was how solid the cooler was (I had originally had the impression it wouldn't feel that sturdy). It runs games very well, but it won't max out Arkham City in every way (DX11, PhysX). It will stay at very comfortable temperatures even when folding. There was also a MIR, I have not yet received it, but so far I have never had problems with Gigabyte and it seems to have gone throughout all the required steps before mailing.Overall, this was a very good upgrade from my HD4890.

When it's royal highness decides to produce video, it works fantastically. ARMA II on ultra high, 10,000 view distance? Boyah. Dragon Age II on max?...mainly. You get the point. Videocard merely doesn't hold the normal. When I put down the cash to acquire this card, I was under the impression I was shopping for an Nvidia product. This feels like a thing I would get from Toshiba. It randomly shuts itself off inside windows [driver issues] and ubuntu [still haven't figured it out...], refuses to run some games on max graphics unless you do a rain dance. It feels like a spoiled actor. I tossed dollars at it and it performs when it feels like it. I'm actually disappointed in both Gigabyte and Nvidia for this. The initially time I've ever had to send something back to either manufacturer. It looks like I'll have to go to ATI if I want a item that works consistently.

Rapid, properly made... small , quiet at idle, works :-) Fan blades appear quite tiny, thin & fragile to me.Utilities are so so... GPU Cooler completely aluminum. Mini HDMi functions good... did not buy here cause less costly elsewhere. i7-860 ʃ.37Ghz8GB ramWin 7

This 560Ti is smaller (by about an inch), runs slightly quieter (the whir and spin up is not noticible to me, but I have tanker ears), and a lot cooler (by at least 12.threeº C in Rift at 1920x1080) than the 8800gt it replaced. Efficiency exceeds the 8800gt's as nicely, in line with the critiques on Tom's and Anandtech. In other words, the card is a far better performer and with far better manners. Even so, it was expected to be a far better performer with far better manners, and delivers to expectations so far. Has not noticably exceeded expectations. Many would say the 'con' is not a fair to dock a point, but I don't start with max points and rate down, I start off from the middle and adjust up or down. 4 out of 5 is intended as a positive. At the three week mark will revise if adjust noticed.

Comment:
None Got it to play Crysis two, game freeze randomly for 3-6 seconds and starts again. Does this usually. Does it in CoD:MW2, Rift. Prior to GTX 560 ti, was running ATI HD5770 with no issues. Going to request RMA, this freezing is unacceptable.

Comment:
Outstanding card for gameplay, runs each new game on max settings at screaming speeds. Runs cool and hasn't given me a issue at all..hopefully it stays that way. The only factor that produced it lag at all was a massive firefight with high physx on Mafia 2..but with it turned off it blows through the game 60+ fps effortlessly. Upgraded from an ATI Radeon x1900xt and this card completely blows it out of the water (of course). I'll be sticking with nvidia for now on..my last card overheated like crazy and was artifacting, I'll in no way waste 跾 on yet another unstable ATI card once more..nvidia for the win!

Could not be happier... GTX 560 Ti video card installed easily, taking fantastic care not to let any static discharge harm this one (what I think need to have occurred to the defective GT 9600). Runs 30-40C, quiet fans can not be heard over my case fans so far, excellent efficiency, superior form factor for my case, running well on the newest Nvidia web drivers. No issues with the factory overclock either. Took about three weeks for the RMA to go via from 1st emails to card delivery...luckily had a backup video card that was good enough to read emails and such in the course of the wait...not a poor practice for any individual.Gigabyte provided a fan equiped GT 240 card as a straight-across trade, but I declined and opted for the GTX 560 Ti for a different 赨. So got about ฽ refund for my original GT 9600 贐 purchase price... Lastly, warranty period is 3 years FROM DATE OF MANUFACTURE...not buy date. Just created it with the 9600 GT! My 1st RMA with Gigabyte, type of mechanical-toned customer service but it is a big, foreign company (Taiwan e-mail address) so that could have an effect on the communication tone. Nice to be in a position to negotiate for an upgrade to better merchandise instead of receiving just a replacement.

Comment:
Mine is running very well and seem to be 100% stable so far. I cant hear it over my other fans so this is a plus. Running in the 30 degrees.

Had the 460 ahead of this and this is even superior. 900 core, runs cool at 30C idle, Effortless to install and precise similar size and shape as the 460(this has two much more heatpipes). Should be able to overclock if I actually require to, but not required with the efficiency of this card. Pretty quiet, but not as quiet as the 460. Fans at 40% stock which is 1800rpm None truly other than it appears to be slightly louder than the 460. Will do some tests to see if I can get it quieter. I wish they would use a shroud that was not longer than the card. That is only mainly because I am making use of the SG06 and it barely fits. I have thoroughly loved the 460 and had it clocked to a modest 800 core from 715. This 1 is already 900 and with very good cooling it appears 1000 is not unlikely. I will in all probability not do so however as this card is in the SG06 from Silverstone and the PSU is a 450W 80+, but it does not have a lot of headroom and I actually don't want to overclock the card making use of my 1600 x 900 monitor. Did not retest my comp for WEI score, but I expect something in the range of 7.8 or so for graphics. Have 7.5 for the 460. I am now a big fan of Gigabyte merchandise. They have good warranties and great quality parts. Effectively worth the investment.

Solid upgrade from my ati 4850. Double the 3d mark vantage score and maxes out most game. Cooler is quiet but has high temps.

This card gives great picture excellent. Points just seem to jump off the screen at you. The colors are vivid and game play is a breeze. i play LOTRO on line and the graphics are unreal. This card has driver peoblems!!! Whilst you are in game you will get a black screen and a message pops up saying vidio driver stopped working then it drops you off on the desktop after closes your program. That's a bad thing if your in an on the net compitition. I searched on the web and discovered that numerous folks are having simular problems so beware. I'm hoping for a new driver to fix the dilemma due to the fact when the driver is working the card is excellent. One thing to contemplate is some men and women have discovered the fix to be as easy as detuning the card. Not me i bought a OC card for a reason.

This is a very solid card from one of the four manufacturers I trust (MSI, EVGA, Gigabyte, ASUS). Good performance and plenty of speed and onboard ram. For my last build, I made the mistake of purchasing a non-name-generic Galaxy Geforce 9800 GTS card that happened to be on sale at the time, thinking that it would be the same as any Geforce 9800 card since they all pretty much used the same nvidia spec board...boy was I wrong. That card overheated easily and made gaming frustrating at times. My previous MSI Geforce card was awesome, and I am sure this Gigabyte card will be rock solid as well. Lesson learned, only buy important components such as a video card from quality manufacturers.
