ASUS GTX560Ti 448 Core DirectCU II Review

Test Setup

Our test setup for the ASUS remains identical to that on which we tested the MSI and Gigabyte versions, so this is truly a head-to-head.

ASUS GTX560Ti 448 DirectCU II
ForceWare 285.66
Intel Core-i7 950 @ 4GHz
Gigabyte G1 Assassin
Corsair AX1200W
6GB Mushkin Redline
Noctua NH-D14
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Overclocking

Although the card is, as you’ll see below, not troubled by any thermal limitations, nonetheless the overclocking performance wasn’t great. It’s definitely better than the Gigabyte model, but nowhere near the MSI.

Temperatures

The DirectCU II cooler can easily keep the card cool. Indeed it’s cooler than the already mighty MSI Twin Frozr III. Impressive stuff.
