Zotac GeForce GTX 560 820MHZ 1GB 4008MHZ DDR5 DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card

I needed a decent video card for my test bench PC. I ended up picking up this Zotac GTX 560 video card since it was the cheapest I could find at NCIX with the best performance under $120 dollars. It might be 2 generations behind,but for the price and performance compared to other cards in this price range offering a 128-bit interface instead of a 256-bit like the GTX 560. This card is a sure winner. If your looking for a great card that is able to play all of the latest games, and doesn't break the bank. You cant go wrong with this video card. If you need a video card for gaming under $120, I highly recommend this card.

My build is an intel i5 2500k, 8gb 1600mhz ram, 500watt corsair psu, and a gigabyte motherboard. Definitely noticed performance improvement after installing this video card. Was able to play games at min settings when using intel hd3000, but with this card I can play most games at max settings.GPU temp around 33oC when I first got it, but during this vancouver heat wave, it was averaging around 40oC.

This card works very well, and easily overclocked. the only complaints i have are coil whine. I'm assuming just because zotac uses cheap parts, there can be coil whine on SOME of their cards. i unfortunately received a card with a minor case of coil whine. It doesn't really bother me, it only whines when under stress from a game, and when you are playing a game you have the sound on and cant hear it really anyways. the first time i noticed the coil whine was when i was benchmarking with my sound off. the fan feels a little cheap, it is pretty silent however. but under load my gpu runs in the high 60 degree celcius area. Also the card feels like it's made out of cheap plastic, this doesnt matter too much though because it still looks good, and people dont touch your card once it's in your system.Overall i would defeneitly recemend this card, it handled flawlessly all the games i threw at it on high to ultra settings with upwards of 45-50 fps: Battlefield 3, Grid 2, Skyrim (100fps), Farcry 3, NFS hotpursuit, Metro Last Light.Considering this card is only $135 after MIR THIS IS AN AMAZING DEAL! this card competes directly with the Radeon HD 6870, but is over $100 cheaper. So even though there is coil whine, its plasticy, and the fan is less than amazing i give this card 5 stars. and would/am recomend(ing) this card.

It was a plug and PLAY not plug and PRAY which is good for me. The software is much better than older Graphics card software. For $100 I don't think there's a better card out there. Very happy. I will update  if theres any problems.
