The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a new graphics card just announced by NVIDIA. This graphics card is based on the GF114 GPU. This GeForce GTX 560 Ti comes with 384 CUDA cores, a 822 MHz core, and 1.644 GHz shaders. The card can handle up to 1.0GB GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus and clocked at 4.0 GHz. The card is expected to retail for $249. NewEgg has a Galaxy GeForce GTX 560 Ti listed, but they do not have a price for it yet. This version is slightly overclocked with a 835 MHz core, and 1.67 GHz shaders.
Essentially, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is what the original GTX 460 should have been. The 560 Ti is 147 MHz faster than the original GTX 460. The 560 Ti has 384 CUDA cores while the original GTX 460 had 336 CUDA cores. Of course, this is good news if you want a GTX 460. You can find a 768 GB version of the GTX 460 for $105 after rebate on NewEgg right now, or a 1 GB version for $160.
TSMC manufactures the GPU on a 40 nm process. Remember, TSMC decided to skip the 32 nm process, and went with the 28nm process instead. However, that new process is not available right now.
Anandtech has posted a new review of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
To get a 30% performance improvement out of what’s fundamentally the same GPU is quite an accomplishment. I do not believe NVIDIA was originally intending for it to be this way (rather they’d launch something like the 560 back in July of 2010), but the result is nevertheless remarkable. Since the launch of the GTX 460 NVIDIA’s launches have been mostly solid, and the GTX 560 Ti adds to that list. Price/performance is not quite as aggressive as the GTX 460, but NVIDIA is still being aggressive enough to reshape the market – why else are we seeing Radeon HD 6800s for so cheap, and the very sudden launch of the 1GB Radeon HD 6950?
