Title: EVGA GTX 560 Anyone?
Post by: 100Coogn on July 22, 2012, 09:08:25 PM

Just wondering if anyone has any hands on experience with this card. EVGA GTX 560 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130660)
It appears that it will smoke my current GPU, EVGA GTS 250. 
Thanks for any input.

I am using the EVGA GeForce 560 Ti....love it.  Replaced a  GTX 470. Works nicely with Linux and Win 7. Awesome performance in AH. Turn up the sliders :salute

I use an EVGA 580 and have everything maxed out in Aces High and other games (that are top tier game engines).

Using the 2gb 560 ti and love it. Constant 59 fps because my monitor wont push more than that.

I would go with the 560ti if your budget allows...

What is the "Fermi" mentioned in the ad? I've heard the newer models will not being using it.

You can find a Wikipedia comparison of ALL NVidia graphics cards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units), and use the links within to find an article of each series, like the 500 series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_500_Series). Fermi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_400_Series) was introduced with the 400 series (codename GF###) and improved later.

Will be ordering my card soon, but I need a little more advice.  I've narrowed it down to these two cards.

EVGA: Superclocked
   GTX 560  1GB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130661)
   GTX 560  2GB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130662)

I'm pretty much getting this card to improve the eye-candy in AH.  Will I see much improvement if I go with the 2GB over the 1GB?
Thanks for any help.

If the memory speeds are the same, the 2GB card will allow more anti-aliasing to be used, in conjunction with bump mapping, shadows, and environment mapping along with the 2048 texture size.
