NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 560 Ti: Upsetting The $250 Market
by Ryan Smith on January 25, 2011 9:00 AM ESTHAWX
Ubisoft’s 2008 aerial action game is one of the less demanding games in our benchmark suite, particularly for the latest generation of cards. However it’s fairly unique in that it’s one of the few flying games of any kind that comes with a proper benchmark.
Under HAWX the GTX 560 is once more ahead of our pack, edging out the 6970 and beating the 6950 1GB by 10% at 1920 and 17% at 1680. At 2560 we do see the 560 finally fall behind the 6950, but at the same time we’re looking at a situation where even the slowest card in that chart is well above 60fps.
HAWX is not normally a game we consider shader limited, so compared to NVIDIA’s other cards the results are particularly interesting. The GTX 470 is still hanging on for dear life, but the lower the resolution the wider the gap becomes. Meanwhile over the GTX 460 1GB the lead is still 30% even though we haven’t changed the ROP count, showcasing that there’s more ROP clocks involved in the 560’s advantage over the 460.

Page one, first chart, the 560 Ti is "$149" instead of "$249".Although, I kinda prefer the former.

what's crazy is that when I posted and refreshed the page I was the only comment. It wasn't until page 3-4 of this review (as I was reading after the comment post) that I noticed yours was there so there is some lag between when a post is made and when others see it (even though you see it right away). I wish we had a time stamp feature on the post! :)maniac5999 - Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - link
So the GTX 560 Ti has a 4004mhz DATE rate? Wow, it sure gets around. (chart on P1) ;-)
