Sparkle X560 Ti DF Calibre Review

Test Setup

Aside from using the latest WHQL ForceWare drivers, this is our standard GPU test setup.

Sparkle GTX560Ti DF Calibre
ForceWare 285.62
Intel Core-i7 950 @ 4GHz
Gigabyte G1 Assassin
Corsair AX1200W
6GB Mushkin Redline
Noctua NH-D14
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Overclocking

Amazingly despite the already hefty overclock the Sparkle Calibre still has something to give, breaking through the magic 1GHz barrier on the core and therefore taking the dual-linked shaders past 2GHz. Hugely impressive stuff. 

Despite this extremely high overclock the cooler managers to perform admirably, with the highest temperature we recorded being a mere 75°C. Outstanding performance.
