ASUS GTX560 TOP Review
AvP and Crysis Warhead
Published: 17th May 2011 | Source: ASUS | Price: |
Alien vs Predator
The lighting-heavy AvP gives us similar results. Although the GTX560 is well ahead of both the HD6850 and HD6790 it hasn't quite got the grunt to challenge the either the next models up in the AMD range nor the overclocked GTX560 Ti.
Crysis Warhead
In Warhead we finally see a decent improvement from our overclock, managing to bring the GTX560 TOP from an already great 55 FPS average, right up to the 60 FPS barrier. 59.25 FPS to be exact.

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
