ASUS GTX560 TOP Review
3D Mark
Published: 17th May 2011 | Source: ASUS | Price: |
3D Mark 11
Even though the benefit of the overclock is only slender as ASUS have already got the card rocking hard out the box, there is still a little extra to be had. Either way the GTX560 nicely slides into the gap between the stock and overclocked Ti variant and is trading punches with the HD6850.
3D Mark Vantage
Vantage places a much greater emphasis on nVidia cards thanks to the PhysX tests, but even still it's clear that the new card has plenty of oomph in the P-score. Differences between the GTX560 and GTX560 Ti become obvious as the image quality is ramped up, with the GTX560 TOP running out of horsepower at the top end.

Ah, so this is the new 560, not to be confused with the 560 TI, not that that should be confusing in any way

Good card, I just found a 560 DirectCU II for £167.99 but the MSI Twin Frozer II 560ti is only £175.99, personalty I would go with the ti.
Nvidia have done the same thing as they did with the 450 and the 550, they have just made another version of an already existing card.
It's not really a bad thing but first we had the Nvidia 550 and AMD 6790 releases which apart from the water cooled version of the 6790 are no better than cards that only cost a few quid more and I feel like this is the same thing all over again. Saying that though there is also the normal DirectCU version of the 560 for only £155 so that is not to bad, still, it would have been nice to see a new card slightly better than the 560ti rather than one slightly less better.

This card is essentially a rehashed GTX460 with a few optimizations made for DX11.
The 560 Ti is in such a sweet spot, why bother without the Ti. I guess with the 5xx series months/years in the works, the product line's performance jumps seem crowded now they've pushed them into production.

Looks like a great value card 
. Well written review as always from you guys 
. Well written review as always from you guys As Zeals said the card is a repeated 460 with dx11
if this stayed at usd$200 instead o upping the price for custom cooler and whatnot itd be nice but paying more then 200 you could just go for a ti (usd$250)
well if you look at my gtx460 1gb top review http://forum.overclock3d.net/index.php?/topic/33283-asus-gtx460-1gb-top/page__p__391392#entry391392
it does give 5-10fps boost in games and big difference in 3d mark scores
