GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) GV-N560SO-1GI-950 Video Card

Comment:
DX11, Fermi architecture, energy effective, stays really cool. I am very happy with this upgrade. It does run more rapidly than my previously owned gtx 295. Windows is additional responsive with this card. The hottest I have seen this card is about 50c working with gpuz. None so far. I have had no driver concerns with this card (installed beta drivers 267.26. I bought this card to replace my gtx 295 which I believe makes use of too considerably power and runs too hot. I when had 2 gtx 295s operating quad sli but felt it was not worth the power and performance. I had to custom construct fan mountings on my case door Ɠ 120mm fans) and a single mounting plate to mount 2 fans to internally (for better cross flow) to keep them cool. Nvidia's Fermi is an amazing step up. I was a bit skeptical but know I know that this cards performance is additional than sufficient even though it is not leading of the line. This would be great for a sli setup.

Quickly factory speeds. DOESN'T Spend MA'BILLZ I just study the manual from Gigabyte's web page and I'm wondering if any a single else flashed their BIOS like it says to?Or did it just work fine with the normal driver set up and whatnot.

Comment:
none - except for I know im and amd man for sure now. I had similar dilemma a lot of individuals have had, drivers crashed a lot, I had artifacts at times, crashed to black screen. Popped in my old ati 5850 and WOW Anything IS FINE. Bought this considering nvidia had one thing going for it but I have now rma'd this and have a 6950 2gb on the way. If you are on the fence about this and the 6950 dont bother go for the 6950 dont waste your time a lot of folks are getting issues with this card. Get on Nvidia forums you will see 560 ti just about every other thread, dilemma after difficulty.

Particularly Cool !Incredibly Quiet!Really Overclocked !Operating 100% Steady overclocked to1000񳏀񳓬 @ 1.112vI believe I have additional headroom to go a bit further as well. The only con for these gigabyte cards is apparently some people get bad chips and that is not all Gigabytes fault, Nvidia failed to produce the chips. I thought I had a bad chip also until I updated all my drivers! Even if your up to date I would say uninstall all your drivers and reinstall them all.Purchase THIS CARD AND SKIP THE 570 !

Very QuietShorter than a GTX 260 (by about an inch)Much more potent than the 2 GTX 260s that it replaced. Factory overclock is not stable in specific games (Total War: Shogun two & Dawn of War two are the main ones I had issues with). Overclock would result in the video drivers to crash repeatedly. Attempted to raise the voltage of the card to stabilize it, had no luck. When I downclocked the card it became stable and games ceased to have challenges.

waiting for delivery waiting for delivery Initially obtain of my new develop. ahh cant wait. been waiting forever for the original SOC series 1000񳏀 that never came back in stock. Apparently, this is the successor ? noticed its down clocked to 950 from the original 1000 .. meh. . cant wait .. will rate as soon as installed.

This card is wonderful. Installed easily and runs all games at max settings. Crysis 1920x1200 almost everything maxed at 45 fps. Poor Firm 2 anything maxed 1920x1200 res. 60+ FPS. NONE The OC Guru software is OK. I would only recommend working with it if you have ample headroom on your PSU as it is already overclocked to 950mhz stock. The card does hold this stock overclock as properly so the software is a small unecessary, IMO. Cheers and happy gaming.

Card looked nice and got fantastic reviews. The value seemed right so I went ahead and ordered it. Package arrived unharmed. Card was DOA. In each my machines, when it attempted to do 3d rendering it would do nothing but emit a super higher pitch squeal. It took over a week for Gigabyte to respond to my help ticket. Unacceptable. Attempted unique video drivers as well and on a fresh install as properly. I expected WAY much better than this from Gigabyte. A specially binned and crafted GPU shouldn't have as large of a failure rate as it appears to be possessing. Fairly $!#$ that I had to spend for shipping and Gigabyte wasn't even interested in possessing it returned to them!

Replaced my 8800GT but kept many old components like DDR2 ram and Core two Quad so almost certainly not finding the most out of it. Nonetheless managed to get a enormous leap of efficiency and can run most items maxed at 1680x1050. Kills it in BC2.Runs quieter and a lot significantly cooler than 8800GT (idles 35c and beneath pressure hits about 55c compared to 70sC for old card). This card is really long and I feel I was extremely lucky it fit appropriately on my case and mobo (there was a tiny mobo heatsink just below). Make positive you have a good enough powersupply with 2 (SLI) power connectors to power this puppy.I am very disappointed in the efficiency in TF2. There ought to be some setting I am missing or something since I can only do med/high settings in common and it keeps falling to 30 FPS in large battles. I will need to attempt out more source games just before I genuinely commence to be concerned. I added my cache/achievement index to my ignore list in Nod32 as some forums said. I did discover multi-core rendering game be a ㅌ% efficiency enhance. Sooner or later I will upgrade the rest of my method (CPU, MOBO, RAM, PSU). I at the moment have a decent SSD. I feel if you are rocking a 3.five-four yr old system that was nicely constructed back then this card can give you a good overall performance boost. Just be sure that your PSU can handle it and your case is style won't stop you from physically fitting this BEAST.

- Considerable factory overclock- Simple to clock a small further with integrated computer software or MSI Afterburner- Dual fans and copper heatpipes.- Somewhat little form element in comparison with the Radeon 6950 with which it competes- Just about as fast as a GTX570 for considerably much less funds and much less power consumption.- Reputable vendorThe card runs incredibly cool. I have two Xigmatek CLF fans operating on the side of my Coolermaster Storm Sniper blowing air over the card and my idle temp is 24 degrees C (ambient house temp is 20.five degrees). At load I have however to get the card over 56 degrees. I thought this would execute worse than the TwinfrozrII in temps, but it is simply on par or greater. Not 1ghz from factory. Only 1 GB of VRAM. Not an quick situation, but it would be good to have the futureproofing and peace of thoughts as games begin running even more high-res textures. Not Gigabyte's fault in the least though. Recently built a new rig and purchased this to replace my slightly aged XFX4870 OC ed. This card is roughly three-four occasions faster according to my various benchmarks. I overclocked it slightly to 975mhz core񳎎mhz shader and 4820mhz ram devoid of touching voltages. Nevertheless appears like there is tons of headroom left on this card, but there is no real want to push it additional.

Zero complications so far. Uncomplicated to install. Does every little thing at ask it to, comes with OC software but I haven't seen a need to have to OC any far more than it is.Runs Starcraft two on intense settings and doesn't go beneath about 30 fps throughout giant battles. X-Plane on everything insane with 40 fps. Empire Total War with almost everything maxed. Have however to attempt anything else. None? It doesn't clean my space for me? Make positive you have an added pair of underwear nearby the 1st time you play a game on this factor.

Rapidly comes with GIGABYTE OC_GURU effortless to speed up but not necessary but you can go green when oc is not necessary up graded from MSI NX8800GTS 512M OC.. You can read complications with all cards. A fantastic power supply usually helps .Fantastic purchase currently OC so I know it’s a fantastic chip. I also upgraded whole process. Possibly that’s the important to having no problems None so far with no load its 24cትc My last card was 42c playing Get in touch with of Duty - Black Ops ran no hotter than 47c

-runs crysis at max really smooth-Makes even old games like dota look good-good drivers, uncomplicated install none Get it!

Quickly & PowerfulFactory OverclockedExtreme upgrade compared to the GTX 260 None. I had to downlock the 560ti to 822mhz for it to execute reliably in my program, though I do not believe it is a dilemma with the GPU. I had to downlock the GPU to 822mhz. My mobo (ASUS P5N-E LGA 775) could not support the GPU at the factory 950mhz and would intermittintly black out for a few seconds as if power to the display was lost. I believe it's an concern with the mobo receiving energy to the gpu. Voltages are most likely also low. If youre searching at the 560ti as an upgrade make sure your mobo can handle the energy it needs. Downclocking the GPU to 822mhz completely treatments the difficulty.

Overclocks to 1ghz with just a minor voltage bump. Runs particularly awesome even when crunching, 65C max. Cooler is almost silent @ 50% and the angle fans push the air out nicely. When gaming or crunching I get a coil whine sound. I dont know whats causing it and I know its very typical location for newer cards but its extremely noticeable. Stickers on the cooler are peeling up at the corners and not placed effectively at all but thats not a enormous con. If they are vinyl they ought to peal correct off. Only had the card for a week so Im hoping the whine goes away. Its not noticeable from ten feet away but sitting near it I can def hear it. If you have a silent rig it will be the loudest noise due to its higher frequency. On the other hand my HAF is a wind tunnel and its not really that bad.

This issue flies! This is THE GTX560 Ti to obtain. The Windforce cooler is very quiet and clearly, it performs like a champ. Beefy copper heatpipes and a substantial heatsink hold this card great and chilly. For only slightly additional than most, you get an insane stock OC with even far more headroom in contrast to "other" brands which charge way as well a lot for a minor OC. It draws a lot more power than the other 560's, but largely due to the stock OC. Doesn't come with JC2 and Mafia II, but I currently have each. I have mine at 1050mhz core with a slight rise in voltage. At these speeds it reaches GTX570 overall performance and flies previous it's primary competitor, the HD6950 at 1920x1080p or much less.

1. Incredibly quick! I upgraded from a 8800GTS and its amazing the difference for the price. I've tested it the most with BFBC2, STALKER 2009, FARCRY2 and Fallout New Vegas and Amnesia Dark Descent. All run amazingly smooth and look wonderful. Pushing all games to 1920x1080 with full detail!two. Fans run quite quiet and speed up when necessary.3. OC Guru software package functions extremely effectively.four. Have not had to adjust something from its default mhz or voltage settings.Hope I am not shooting myself in the foot by posting a 5 egg review so soon soon after acquiring it running but so far I am very impressed! 1. It is extended so make positive you have the areatwo. Possible to get a bad card appears highthree. Fans seem to blow air into the situation rather than out the rear vents. Not a major deal if you have fantastic airflow but something to maintain in thoughts. When I installed the card, Windows 7 automatically upgraded the driver to 266.66 from my older version. I started to get all the troubles men and women had been reporting about the driver failing all the time. I downgraded to the version on the integrated CD and tested for a week and the complications went away. I then upgraded to the Nvidia version of the 266.66 and so far they are also operating fine. If no problems happen, I am just going to chalk it up to Windows doing an incomplete installation of the drivers.To test the card, I ran Furmark and Heaven Benchmarking. Both completed effectively with no difficulties. Furmark pushed the card to 88 degrees C over 15 minutes prior to it stabilized with no failures. The fans automobile adjusted their speed and had been cranking at 95%. They idle at 40%. Heaven ran at 1920x1080 with total detail and accomplished an average FPS of 45 on my machine which has older specs.Q6600 two.four Ghzfour Gig Kingston HyperX DDR2 800hec Win550 Watt energy provide ࿆ amps)Windows 7 64

Looks, Construct top quality, Overclock out of the box....all for only ten bucks more than the stock cards.. NOT A CON- just utilizing spaceMethod Specs Phenom II x4 955ʃ.5ghz8gigs of AData DDR3 1600 Ram, GTX 560ti SOC, 2xSamsung 1TB F3 Sata drives, Asus 785-Altho i consider my FPS would be higher with a 6 core CPU :) I play alot of RIFT, BF2BC, JustCause2 and MAFIA2. I was using a GTX 460 and all games had been definitally playable but the frame rate with this card is atleast 20fps greater in all games, expecially RIFT. I can now play RIFT in 1920x1080 employing supersampling and 16x AF and not drop below 30fps. Just Lead to and BF2BC wont drop below the VSYNC of 60fps. With Physics on high in Mafia two I occasionally see 50fps but the general overall performance is absolutely nothing shy of wonderful. Idle the card will hang around 30c...below a max load for 3-4 hours I have seen it hit 70c. The fans are close to silent at 70%.
