I upgraded\/switched over from a ATI HD 5770 because it simply be not cut it anymore , graphically speak . my friend also order a graphic card 2 day after . -lrb-  MSI Computer Video Card - n560gtx TI TWIN FROZR II 2GD5 OC  everybody know that the msus 560 Ti Twin Frozr II be one heck of a GPU , but guess what ? this card smoke he by 15-20 % minimum . he be so mad that he do not listen to I and get this 448 core mack daddy ... lol I be a big AMD fan for many year , but the whole driver support situation with they be just ridiculous . there be so many problem with so many different game that I just could not take it anymore . I research this purchase religiously for over 2 week before I make my decision . I be go to get the exact same card as my friend , but 2 day before my purchase I read about the release of this product . after I learn the difference and do some cost\/benefit analysis , this be the clear winner . pro : 1 . this card only run 5-8 % slower than a 570 . for it to be call a `` 560 ti '' be nothing short of a marketing campaign , because it literally have nothing in common with that card . these be the same chip that the 570 's and 580 's use . the 560 's be a totally different chip design . 2 . this card have 448 CUDA core -lrb- shader -rrb- vs the 560 Ti 's 384 . the 570 be nothing more than a 580 with one cluster lance off , this card be a 570 with another one lance off . it be a new card , but it be base on a win and highly performance orient design . plus , for the 560 ti to achieve the performance that it do , Nvidia have already overclock the heck out of it . there be not a lot of room for overclock it . 3 . for those of you who be not into the overclock scene or who simply wish to do no harm to you GPU , it come factory overclock by the most excellent people over at EVGA . they honestly have the best customer service I have ever deal with . with a 3 year warranty , excellent customer service , and a step up plan for down the line , you can not beat evga . 4 . price . this be the best value for a 560 ti 448 that you be go to find . this be right at msrp . and if you want to step up to a 570 , they be up to 340 now !!! you get 5 % less for 20 % less than a 570 ! con : 1 . these card be pretty much just card that could not cut it as either a 570 or 580 . for whatever reason they be reject that be go to get toss if Nvidia could not find a use . after they accumulate a quantity of the `` reject '' they think up this `` limited edition '' idea . the default voltage be one indicator this be exactly what happen . my default voltage be 1.013 . I get on the EVGA forum , and voltage range from 1.000 to 1.075 default !!! if that be not the definition of a binned product then what be !!!??? do not get I wrong , these card be put through rigorous quality testing before they make it to you . this be a good product inspire by bad one ... lol 2 . although this card have 1280mb of VRAM , it still be not the 2gb that other card offer . Games be already hit upward of this limit , so be conscious of this if you like play on ULTRA setting ! 3 . this be supposedly a `` limited edition '' release . if you be plan on add another card in the future , you better get it now or do without . another 560 ti that be not a 448 will not work in SLI with THIS CARD . that severely limit upgrade potential in the future !! 4 . as far as support\/drivers be concern , this be a brand new product . there be only 2 driver that will work with it right now , 1 be a beta , and they both SUCK !!! the driver on the disc give I way less performance than the beta do , but the beta have all kind of little `` beta-like '' bug . so far so good with this product . honestly , the performance be more than I be expect . I order my card within 5min of they available for purchase here on Amazon . there be not near the review that there be now . I be pleasantly surprise at how well they be overclock . on stock voltage\/fan it be stable at 930 core \/ 1860 shader \/ 2250 memory at 1.013 v. the highest I have overclock with raise voltage be 1050 core \/ 2100 shader \/ 2550 memory at 1.063 v. it have give I almost 20 % bump in performance over the factory overclock . not too bad !!! basically I have only be limit by the head the add voltage add ! I be happy as a pig in crap !!! buy this card , or you will end up with a overprice or inferior product . best deal in town !
