Overclocking
With the standard voltage we managed to get the GTX560 TOP up to a healthy 977 MHz before it cried enough. However the benefit of the ASUS Voltage Tweak BIOS is that it’s very easy to add a little boost to the GPU vCore and with an extra 0.05v bump it pushed up to 1011 MHz. Not bad going at all.
Temperatures
Of course speeds are pointless if the card is a cooker, but like the rest of the GF110 range of cards the GTX560 isn’t a great heat-producer. Even better the Direct-CU II cooler is outstanding at remaining cool and quiet. Even with the extremely strenuous Unigine Heaven Benchmark suite running it didn’t get its feathers ruffled at all.
