Bad Company 2 Test Settings
While AMD’s Radeon HD 6950 2GB card is doing its best to keep up, the new GTX 560 Ti 448c is able to keep a lead at both the 1680×1050 and 1920×1200 resolutions. The original GTX 560 Ti actually falls behind again by about 20% this time.
Hmm nothing at Newegg yet,
Hmm nothing at Newegg yet, and one at Amazon thats over MSRP. I’m hoping the limited availability of these won’t drive the prices up.
Yes, that is a fear…we’ll
Yes, that is a fear…we’ll see if NVIDIA and it’s partners can keep the consumer’s at the front of their minds in the next few weeks.
Yea one can hope. I wouldn’t
Yea one can hope. I wouldn’t mind this driving down the regular 560 ti prices too.
i wonder if you can unlock
i wonder if you can unlock these vis a vis the gtx 465 to 470 conversion method.
In the past, NVIDIA has done
In the past, NVIDIA has done a much better job locking their GPUs down than AMD has. There has never been a way to unlock the GTX 570 to a 580, for example.
By limited edition nvidia
By limited edition nvidia plan to run these limited quantities? As the specs are pretty similar to GTX570 and I reckon they might hurt the GTX570 in sales badly.
A. These are defective parts
A. These are defective parts not good enough to be a 570 or 580.
B. These are crippled parts.
I REALLY think the marketing team goofed by calling this a 560 TI 448. It should be called a 565, no questions asked.
I dont’ wanna use the word deceptive to describe any of this cause its just a damn GPU SKU but gesh….
I think calling them
I think calling them “defective” or “crippled” is a bit of an overstatement. Is a 570 a “defective” 580? I wouldn’t say that. Just different bins and different SKUs based on the ways the silicon world works.
Now I wish I had waited a
Now I wish I had waited a week to order my new computer build, I bought the 560 TI for rendering. Is it possable to use this and a 560 TI in the same system?
No, a 448 cant be used to SLI
No, a 448 cant be used to SLI with a regular 560TI, treat them as if they are two totally different cards, because well…. they are. GF114 vs a GF110 chip.
I read this review to get
I read this review to get info and details on the Evga Classified card. You didn’t provide hardly any. What about the non-reference pcb, or the 6 phase vrm?… why did you even write a review on it if you didn’t want to go in-debth on the details?
“due to some complications
“due to some complications with the EVGA card (that were all solved on the software side of things on my testing machine) our benchmarks use the MSI version initially.”
… and he doesn’t get to keep the cards forever. It is too bad there wasn’t more time to test the card that you were more interested in but you can see the performance difference on the last page … as in not much.
The Evga card should have
The Evga card should have been left out of the equation completely then, instead of saying “here’s a review of this card” and then telling your readers “actually we couldnt get it to work” …. so dumb.
How did we treat the EVGA and
How did we treat the EVGA and MSI cards any differently?
Oh yeah, and did you read

Amazon has the EVGA single
Amazon has the EVGA single fan version for $279.99. Thinking of getting three of them. One to update my E8500 system that will soon be donated to the kids and the other for a new build in SLI mode.
Is the Classified version worth the $30 premium(price/taxes/shipping) over the FTW version?
I understand the other companies jacking up prices for what the market will bear, but good on EVGA.
Sorry, price is $289.99.(the
Sorry, price is $289.99.(the 279.99 was for the base 560Ti).
So the premium would only be around $20.
Just ordered the EVGA
Just ordered the EVGA Classified version of this card from dabs.com (uk retailer) and after looking at some of the benchmark results I’m really glad I did as I very nearly brought a 570 instead.
Im just pinching myself now as I said I was going to wait for the 600 series to be released before upgrading but then my GT230 is really starting to show its age now.
Can’t wait for this to be delivered.

Hello I am just trying to understand is the NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores faster then the GTX 560 Ti Superclocked 384 CUDA Cores and by how much thanks

Where can I get the 285.88 drivers?
I have an MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Power Edition. It came with the 285.66 drivers on the installation CD. I can find no other drivers at the Nvidia website (or anywhere else) that will work with it.
