**GTX 560 Ti Owners Thread**

I don’t post here very often… but there seems to be a lack of decent ‘GTX 560’ threads on the internet. I hope you guys keep this thread kicking, you really have a gem of information & opinion here.

Being said, I’ve been working on my 24/7 overclock on the 560. 1000core (1.1 vGPU) 1249mem (2498 listed in afterburner)

Overall I’m very impressed with this GPU. I moved to the 560 from an Ati 5850 (that was no slouch, 1000core @ 1.224 vGPU via afterburner) and couldn’t be happier. Right now, I play a lot of COD:BO on a 24 inch @ 1920x1200 – at full max settings I’m happy to report it never really drops below 100FPS. Normally when my 5850 would be in the high 80s’ - low 90s’ the 560 runs in the 120s’. (I monitor in-game with afterburner OSD and “/com_maxfps 0” command)

Right now I’m still on stock (reference) cooler with a modified fan speed duty cycle setting (90% fulltime) and load temps (even once extra voltage has been applied) run in the low 60s’.

Aftermarket cooling is the next order of business. I know it’s going to be a handful (stupid rectangular bolt pattern)

Thank you for this thread, it was a refreshing read.

 

Have you guys encountered stuttering issues in games?? im gonna order a twin frozr 560 ti soon but im concerned about stutter problems as my 460 stutters really bad.

 

Actually, I have. Only for a couple of times in Quake Live. Hasn't happened in several days now, don't know what caused it. It went on for a second or two at a time, not completely ruining the experience, just annoying a bit. I haven't had it in any other games (Crysis 2 MP Demo, Bulletstorm, Dead Space 2).

If your 460 stutters a lot, it's probably faulty and should be RMA'd.

 

I had a stuttering Palit GTX560 - sent it back and got a replacement Zotac 560 OC which works fine.

 

No stuttering here, smooth as butter =)

 

another happy owner here

 

it seems theres going to be another gigabyte gtx 560 ti soc, got the news from here http://www.**********.com/tcm/news/...elease-geforce-gtx-560-ti-soc-clocked-950-mhz.
<.t c magazine



If true its a bit of a downer as i have already spanked my money on 1, and now waiting for the shop to get it in and knowing my luck it will be one of these slow versions.

 

What do you mean "slow versions"?

 

well if you put tc magazine where the stars are with no spaces it should take you to a site where it say that gigabyte a re releasing the gigabyte soc with 950mhz rather than 1000mhz, now i don't know how trust worthy the info is but only time will tell.

 

he means there is a 1000 cored soc and a newer 950 soc
a page back we talk about it,with a link to the tpu news story

DOH I'M SLOW

 

Running 1000/4500 @ 1.025v. Haven't done any hardcore benching, but I ran OCCT for 20mins (73c load) no errors and Heaven bench 3 loops.. stable (60c load.) Been on a few games, no artifacts.

Haven't tried lowering the voltage, or focused on the memory yet. Happy chappy for now.

 

Nice Phrag I see your doing better there!

I got my first look of the msi hawk 560 card in the guru news section
heres the photo and info.





It looks like we will get to see how hot the vrm's really get with tri monitoring.
hope it comes with heart meds in the box too.

 

I recently upgraded from running 2 BFG GTX 275's to 2 Galaxy GTX 560 ti's, and they are amazing. I dont game over 1680x1050 because of my monitor but I can play most games with higher AA and AF and still get the same frame rates. My vantage score went from 23150 to 31553 (ppu disabled) and I had a 3dmark11 score of 8464, Both scores are with the cards overclocked to 927/1850/4420 at .935mV so I am very happy with the cards. If this is what they will do with such a low voltage then I cant wait to tweak the voltage.

 

EVGA GTX 560 Ti SC
VID: 1.062

1st OC attempt: 950
Result: Freeze

Gave up, went back to 900 @ 1.000V. Still, the card generates a MONSTROUS amount of heat when playing BC2...something seems off.

 

Proly nothing wrong there. It is well known that running Fermis outside specs generates enormous flow of parasitic currents.

 

My EVGA 460 SC didn't do anything this ridiculous.

Most of the reviews point to a 470 just pounding out the heat w/ the 560 a touch above the 6870.

Having owned all of these cards, I'd say the 6870 and 460 were pretty close. The 470 and 560 seem to be of the same heat output. The only difference's the 470 had been clocked up to 850Mhz w/ a healthy voltage bump...

 

my KFA2 one runs at around 60-75 degrees when gaming, depending on how intensive the game is, and that's at a 900mhz overclock and a custom fan ramp that keeps it quiet until it gets to 60. In Furmark it went up to 98 degrees so i decided never to run that again..

 

Which means the 470 and 560 don't have the same heat output.

 

At stock settings, the 560 heats the room up faster.

 

Based on what? It consumes over 30W less at stock settings. Doesn't that translate to proportionally lower heat output?
