GIGABYTE GeForce 560 Ti Super Overclocked

With the recent launches of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti and the HD 6950 1GB cards the so-called “Sweet Spot” of the high-end video card market has changed again.  The video card market has always been defined by the highest end cards such as the GeForce GTX 580 and HD 6970 and a mainstream of around $200 and below. But there is a middle ground for those wanting high performance and pricing in the middle of these two levels, that both AMD and NVIDIA call the “Sweet Spot” above $200 and below $300.

NVIDIA and AMD fight this space very hard as noticed by the simultaneous launch of competing video cards at this price point. AMD had planned on launching their HD 6950 1GB card sometime in February but launched it early to compete against NVIDIA’s card in this price point. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti lies in between the HD 6950 1GB and the HD 6870 in performance and pricing. Several NVIDIA partners have also released overclocked versions of the GTX 560

GIGABYTE was one of the first manufacturers to announce that they had taken the extraordinary step of releasing a “Super Overclocked” version of the GeForce GTX 560 Ti card. By SOC they mean 1GHz for the core clock, the first NVIDIA based video card to be released at that clock speed. Today’s review is of the highly anticipated GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 560 Ti SuperOverclock series card from GIGABYTE. It is the second video card on the market with a 1GHz clock speed.

After the PCs were widespread allover companies, universities, colleges, Institutes and homes.
Around that time, a young MS-DOS was just starting to become the finest operating system worldwide. MS-DOS was a system with great projection, but still many deficiencies, which arose from lack of many hardware elements known nowadays. Like this, this new operating system became the target of a virus: Brain, a malicious code, which infected boot sectors of disks so that their contents could not be accessed. That time also saw the birth of the first Trojan: PC-Write.

AMD Radeon HD 6790 Benchmarks Leaked

AMD Radeon HD 6790

AMD’s yet unreleased Radeon HD 6790 graphics card and now the last piece of the puzzle has made its appearance as some early benchmarks of the card just made their way to the Web together with its price.However, a user of the XtremeSystems forum managed to save a couple of the images detailing the results of the card right before the review was removed, so now we know how the HD 6790 performs against the rest of the AMD and Nvidia midrange solutions.
Judging by these results it becomes apparent that, at least in Crysis, the card easily surpasses Nvidia’s GTX 550 Ti and winds up somewhere in between the 768MB version of the GTX 460 and the 1GB version of the same video card.
As far as power consumption is concerned, the HD 6790 seems to be on par with the 1GB GTX 460 in Metro 2033 although it uses 12W more than its Nvidia counterpart while idle in the Windows desktop.
When compared with AMD’s solution, the power consumption is right between that of the HD 6850 and HD 6870 in load even when the card is overclocked.  This seems to suggest that the Radeon HD 6790 isn’t as power hungry as everyone initially thought, although it definitely isn’t the most energy efficient solution in AMD’s arsenal.
As previous reports have detailed, the HD 6790 is based on a cut down version of the Barts core, dubbed Barts LE, and packs 800 stream processors, 40 texturing units, 32 ROP units and a 256-bit memory bus that connects to 1GB of GDDR5 memory.
The Radeon HD 6790 will be officially launched by AMD on April 5, and according to the same review its price is set at $149 USD, just as the Nvidia GTX 550 Ti.
