GeForce GTX 560

PC Gamer - Get your PC ready for Battlefield 3

“[a GeForce GTX 560] should get you running at Ultra settings. It’s worth reiterating that there’s more than one type of GTX 560, though. Those that have the ‘Ti’ suffix have more shader cores and a higher clockspeed. The Ti versions cost £40-ish more, but will likely give you headroom to add things like anti-aliasing if you want better image quality.”

“With Battlefield 3, it's satisfying to for once find a multi-platform game that still sets the PC version aside to show what could be possible in the next generation of hardware.”

GeForce GTX 560 is a sensible buy... Considered purely on technical merits the ASUS GeForce GTX 560 DirectCu TOP is the best of the trio. Gigabyte makes a case if whisper-quiet operation is high on your priority list, while MSI's Twin Frozr II/OC provides the best bang for buck.

We get some very low noise levels from this card, it essentially remains silent at all times and the temperatures at load and idle were great. ...Without doubt the best GTX 560 we have seen.

...mixed with a low noise cooler and decent temperature performance. The big selling point however is the cards great performance at 1920x1080 where it enables us to game at maximum detail.

Overall, the performance of the card on test today was very good and it is certainly a worthy successor to the hugely popular GTX460 and comes close to matching its GTX560Ti sibling.

Award: Amazing Value
