NVIDIA ha annunciato ufficialmente la nuova gpu di fascia media GeForce GTX 560 Ti, con la quale il chip maker statunitense permette ai suoi partner,
operanti nel settore della produzione di schede grafiche, la realizzazione di soluzioni che puntano a sostituire dal punto di vista commerciale le attuali
GeForce GTX 460, lanciate nel corso della scorsa estate. In termini di performance, le GeForce GTX 560 Ti superano le GeForce GTX 460 di circa il 33%, in
accordo ai risultati dei benchmark comparativi eseguiti dalla stessa NVIDIA.
La GeForce GTX 560 Ti è l'ultima nata nell'ambito della linea di processori grafici "Fermi"; è naturalmente compatibile con DirectX 11 ed è dotata di pieno
supporto delle tecnologie proprietarie NVIDIA SLI, NVIDIA 3D Vision e NVIDIA Surround. Il chip include 384 CUDA core e 8 tessellation engine; il core grafico
lavora a 822MHz, anche se sono possibili varianti con frequenza di default pari a 1GHz, mentre la dotazione standard di memoria RAM (G-DDR5) è pari a 1GB. Un'altra feature evidenziata dal produttore è l'elevata predisposizione
per l'overclock, anche spinto.
NVIDIA ha reso noto inoltre il prezzo di riferimento per questa tipologia di video card, pari a $249 nel caso delle implementazioni aderenti al design reference. Le schede grafiche con gpu GeForce GTX 560 Ti sono state commercializzate, o sono in arrivo, da ASL, ASUS, Colorful, ECS, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, Jetway, Leadtek, MSI, Palit, Point of View, PNY, Sparkle e Zotac, tra gli altri.

Last summer, NVIDIA astounded gamers with the introduction of the GeForce GTX 460 GPU, which editors called "an incredible value". Flash forward 5 months
later, and NVIDIA is set to do it again with the immediate availability of the new GeForce GTX 560 Ti GPU. With average performance that is 33% faster(ii),
overclocking headroom that is off the charts, and a performance per watt that puts competitive products to shame, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is further proof as
to why GeForce GTX GPUs are favored by PC gamers worldwide.
The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the newest addition of the Company's "Fermi" line of consumer GPUs that were designed to deliver
stunning DirectX 11 (DX11) performance for PC gaming platforms. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti brings a new level of DX11 price/performance to the performance PC
gaming market while maintaining super quiet acoustics and minimal power requirements.
Like all NVIDIA "DX11 Done Right" GPUs, the GTX 560 Ti delivers the world's fastest performance for DX11 games in its class. When
compared to the closest competitive product, the GTX 560 Ti is up to 65 percent faster(iii) in today's newest DX11 tessellated games, and 30 percent
faster(iv) in previous-generation DX9 and DX10 games. With a superior design that includes a default graphics core clocked to 822MHz, 8 tessellation engines
and 384 CUDA cores that were architected for next-generation DX11 games, the GTX 560 Ti is even up to 46% faster(v) than the competition's product offerings
that cost upwards of 20% more!
"The GTX 560 Ti GPU has it all: awesome DX11 performance, terrific overclockability, and ultra quiet operation -- attributes of
the perfect performance GPU," said Drew Henry, general manager of GeForce GPU business at NVIDIA. "With the GTX 560 Ti under the hood, and an awesome library
of DX11 titles coming in the very short future, it is truly a great time to be a PC gamer!"
With full support for NVIDIA 3D Vision and NVIDIA Surround technologies, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti GPU also provides the graphics
horsepower and video bandwidth needed to experience more than 500 games and high-definition Blu-ray movies in eye-popping stereoscopic 3D on a single display
or spanning across three screens for an immersive gaming environment. And with NVIDIA SLI technology, the industry's most scalable multi-GPU platform,
gamers will be delighted by the sheer increase in gaming performance by adding a second GeForce GTX 560 Ti to their PC.
With an estimated selling e-tail price starting at $249 USD, the GTX 560 Ti is available starting today from the world's leading
add-in card partners, including ASL, ASUS, Colorful, ECS, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, Jetway, Leadtek, MSI, Palit, Point of View, PNY,
Sparkle, Zotac and others. At launch, there will be a wide assortment of GTX 560 Ti cards available, including those with stock clocks of 822MHz and others
that are clocked much higher, including some at 1GHz.
