A 6950 for the same price as a ENGTX 560 ti top CII?????? No way!!! At lease 700 bucks differance! I don’t know who ur supplier is, but no way. And I must agree with “6950 falls” ATI cards in general are very buggy and unstable, my last 3 ATI’s had constant issues, ranging from overclocking probs, to HDMI problems to even crossfire problems, ATI is just too much hassel in general. Although they are good value for money, and good performers, stick to the tried and tested man!! NVIDIA.

I got a 6950 hell of problems and the card was having problems with fable 3, i returned the card next day got a EVGA 560 ti next day and now is running any game over 50 fps. i will say this second ATI i buy and they all failed me.

Very nice review, I was focussing my search on this reviewed card and the 6950 variant.
There are a lot of reviews of normal 560ti and 6950 based cards, but not so much of the asus direct CU versions.
I like the way you discuss things, they are righ spot on as what i was looking for.
Still not sure which card to pick, the 560Ti or the 6950 based on ASUS Direct CU II design, they are allmost the same price, but have both pros and cons.
I like playing BC2 for instance, the nvidia cards are better in this game, but what about future releases…those choices…:)

Overclocking will just make it hotter and eat more power with marginal gain doubt it can cover the performance gap. Nvidia has piss poor Flop/Watt with the whole Fermi line.

@DrBalthar: don’t forget the secret weapon of the GTX 560 Ti: overclocking. I will publish an article shortly 😉

Underwhelmed. You’ll get a 6950 for the same price using 20-30W less and has more performance. FAIL!

@Michael: at idle, the card is extremely quiet. Under FurMark the cooler is noisy but is supportable (nothing to see with GTX 480 stock VGA cooler!). And I talk for an open case testbed…

I have to say I am quite impressed by the 560. The performance was expected, but still it’s nice to see it’s there.

@komar: juste pour une question de temps. Effectivement en augmentant la tension d’alim du GPU on devrait gagner quelques Hz de plus. J’essaierai de faire un test plus tard.

I don’t think NVIDIA have used ‘Titatnium’ since GeForce 4?

JeGX pourquoi ne pas avoir monter les voltages ?

interdiction du fabricant , pas le temps pour peaufinner l’oc de la bête ?

dommage car la 560 ti à l’air d’etre la reine en overcloking … ou pas ?

For comparison… with same settings my 2 GTX 460 score 1511 points and 60 FPS in unigine heaven.

Settings: 1920×1080 fullscreen, tessellation: normal, shaders: high, 4X MSAA, 16X anisotropic filtering.

@Zibri: I’m sure that the AX750 can handle (without problem) two GTX 560 Ti highly stressed…

By: Zibri

Zibri — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 16:35:15 +0000

I wonder if my PSU could handle 2 of these…
At the moment it’s handling pretty well my 2 palit gtx 460 1gb which have a very similar tdp.

My PSU is a CORSAIR AX750 Gold 12cm PLUG (87+)
