Club 3D Also Brings Out GeForce GTX 560 Cards

Club 3D has joined the string of OEMs that have finished developments of the GeForce GTX 560 non-TI graphics card, having prepared a pair of boards, one of which is factory overclocked, although this is hardly surprising at this point.

Since today is when the newest NVIDIA video card got unleashed, it stands to reason that the Santa Clara, California-based company's many partners would make their own moves in swift order.

Among others, Micro-Star International and Gainward have presented two and three models, respectively.

Now, Club 3D has joined the fray, having brought forth the expected, stock-clocked controller, plus a factory overclocked one.

The two have the same cooling solution, the CoolStream dual-slot device with three heatpipes and one fan.

For those that need a reminder, the stock specifications of NVIDIA's newest creation are 810 MHz for the GPU (graphics processing unit), 1,620 MHz for the shaders (336 CUDA cores) and 4,008 MHz for the memory (1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM).

Meanwhile, the CoolStream OC model has those same components operating at 830 MHz, 1,660 MHz and 4,104 MHz, respectively.

Other specifications include a memory interface of 256 bits, support for 2-way SLI (multi-GPU configurations) and the expected connectivity options (mini HDMI and dual-DVI).

Needless to say, DirectX 11 graphics are fully supported, like on all 500 and 400 series boards, while OpenGL 4.1 completes the feature set.

Finally, NVIDIA PhysX is present, as is NVIDIA CUDA, 32x Anti-Aliasing, PureVideo HD and 3D Vision Surround (which enables SLI setups to display 3D across 3 panels at once).

As with some of the other announcements, there was no specific mention of the prices of either newcomer, though online listings shouldn't take long in showing up.

Either way, with NVIDIA recommending the $200 price point, one can assume that these CoolStream boards will stay reasonably close to that mark.
