Gigabyte GTX560Ti 448 Core Review

Test Setup

As there have been a plethora of driver upgrades since we originally tested the reference GTX560Ti and GTX570 cards, we’ve gone away and retested them both on the latest drivers to ensure that our results are as up to the minute as possible. We’ve even tested both reference models at stock, and with an overclock, to give the most accurate comparisons available.

Overclocking

Although the Gigabyte comes out the box at a modest 732MHz, there is plenty of overhead available and we coaxed 800MHz out of the card which is the speed we’ll be using for our overclock testing.

Temperatures

The Gigabyte 448 is fair bit cooler than the reference GTX560Ti, and noise levels are easily tolerable too.
