MSI GTX560-Ti OC SLI Review

Far Cry 2 and Metro 2033

Far Cry 2

If Crysis Warhead was a nasty surprise, then Far Cry 2 was an entirely pleasant one with the GTX560-Ti SLI coming second only to the GTX580 SLI setup, which obviously costs twice as much.

Metro 2033

Finally we look at Metro 2033, a game we know that adores multi-card setups and takes advantage of PhysX too so it's not surprising to see the GTX560-Ti SLI rocking and rolling here with performance right on a par with the pricier HD6970 CF and GTX590. Impressive.

What's better than one GTX560? Two of course. Today we take a look at MSI's GTX560-Ti OC, in SLI. Strap em up tight.

shows that a single (duo) gtx590 is the way to go... £/fps

My review withdrawal systems are cured, thanks, Bryan

So for £400 a whole £150+ less than a 590/6990 you can get similar performance, not bad if you ask me. Sacrificing some AA in one game shouldn't really put you off and anyone with an AMD card can only have up to a maximum of 8x AA anyway.

If you have the money for a 590 that would ideally be the better option in the long run but if you are on a budget SLI MSI 560 TI's is a pretty damn good alternative.

No tinkering with overclocks?

Maybe, but don't forget that two 570's in SLI aren't listed in the bench results and there are many on the forums that speculate that they would be a better alternative to a 590. If your not looking for a single slot solution that is.

Yer the one problem with two mid ranged cards find myself not having enough shaders but personal gripe. Also Tom did give big thumbs up too sli gtx 570's not too long ago on a forum thread.
