MSI N560GTX-Ti 448 Twin Frozer III PE/OC - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (448 Cores) PCI-E 16X Graphics Card

 (8 customer reviews)

I originally purchased the card due to micro-stuttering that occurred in my original setup which was two GTX 260 Maxcore 55's in SlI. Microstuttering is a known problem with all SLI and Crossfire setups but tend to be less noticeable in faster/newer cards. Generally, if your multi-GPU setup gets less than 30 fps, the effects of micro-stutter become very noticeable. In my case, I used a single faster GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). I'm still thinking of using a second GPU in SLI, but my system is a few years old and would probably bottleneck it anyway.
The card was easily overclockable and stayed relatively cool. As per several reviews, I overclocked the MSI M560-ti 448 from 750MHz to 850MHz without increasing the voltage. Due to crashing while gaming, I had to increase the voltage a bit (25mV) to resolve the crashing problem. The reviews say that way more overclocking is possible, but I'm happy at this speed. Also, the temps stay well below 70 degrees under normal use, i.e...Read more

This card is just amazing, upgraded from a GTX 470 that I had overclocked to 800 core and 2000 memory (making it run about the same as a GTX 480/GTX 570) but generating 90 degree heat during load in a very well cooled case. Anyway, I got a great deal on this card during a 1 day rebate offer (strange, I know) and after selling my 470 the upgrade cost me about $90. Well worth it!

This card runs at 30 degrees while idle in my system, under load around 50 degrees, full overvolted and stress tested around 60 degrees, what a difference from my old GTX 470! This MSI card also has a lot better cooler solution than my reference GTX 470 had.

Performance wise, using the Heaven benchmark as the easiest way to show the differences:

-My overclocked GTX 470, was giving me 27.4 FPS and a score of 691
-The GTX 560 448 at clock speeds gave me 27.2 FPS and a score of 685 (which is what I expected, so my overclock was...Read more

Fastest card I have ever had.

This is the Sweet spot for current GTX500 series cards. Will not upgrade till a hot deal on Kepler arrives.
