This review is from: ZOTAC GeForce GTX560 Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 Dual DVI/HDMI/Displayport SLI Ready Graphics Card, ZT-50301-10M (Personal Computers)
I purchased this card to run in SLI with an existing EVGA GTX560 Ti I had lying around. Since my monitor is Displayport-only and this Zotac card seems to be the only Displayport-enabled GTX560 Ti available anywhere, it was the obvious (only) choice. So far I am satisfied with it, but with reservations.
The Zotac GTX560 Ti uses a non-reference PCB design and is the shortest, smallest GTX560 Ti I've seen. This makes it easy to install. Chances are it won't block off any SATA ports on your motherboard like some longer cards might. The PCIe power connectors are top-mounted on this card which can help in smaller cases, although makes for uglier cable management in large cases. Functionally, the Zotac GTX560 Ti works like any nVidia-based graphics card. You install the card, install the nVidia driver and you're done (just don't use the driver on the disk--go to nVidia's site to get the latest driver with improved support for the latest games!)

Zotac GTX 560,

This review is from: ZOTAC GeForce GTX560 Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 Dual DVI/HDMI/Displayport SLI Ready Graphics Card, ZT-50301-10M (Personal Computers)
I bought the Zotac 560 ti from my friends work for around 219.99 with a 30 dollar mail in rebate. I didn't buy this card because of price... if that were the case I would have gotten a 6950 for 50 dollars less. My friend bought the gigabyte 560 ti (for 30 dollars extra) and our benchmarks are almost identical! We have also done SLI with both cards and it was a match made in heaven with more power than anyone could even need in a pc game...
Performance talk: I was running an Intel quad core CPU Q8300 with this card and lets just say it didn't cut it! No graphics card ALONE can power the physics in awesome games like Starcraft II, black ops, assasins creed, Deus X battlefield, so so etc AT FULL SETTINGS with 1080p resolution... I upgraded to an intel i7 950 processor with hyper threading and now I can run all of my games at full power with this Zotac 560 ti without overclocking. Average FPS on starcraft II at Ultra and extreme settings and 1080p resolution are around...Read more

This review is from: ZOTAC GeForce GTX560 Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 Dual DVI/HDMI/Displayport SLI Ready Graphics Card, ZT-50301-10M (Personal Computers)
I checked the reviews for this card, and even if it has only one fan (compared to MSI's for example), it ranked as one of the quietest while maintaining proper temperatures. This also comes with assassin's creed (download) and has a displayport, which almost no other similar card has.
At this moment, it is priced $20 less than other offerings, and the overclocked edition (called amp in zotac) is priced at just $5 more than this card, with the same game and displayport.
Packaging was nice, it arrived perfectly ok, and mounting was easy. Make sure you have two pci power plugs (6 pins), and a decent PSU. Mine had them so i didn't use the molex converters.
The zotac firestorm overclock utility concerns me a bit with no limits as to what i can input, but i have only used it for monitoring temperature so far. In idle, I get around 37C, and playing, around 60.
I just love playing in 1920*1080 with everything to the max now :) the 560 ti is a good...Read more
