Club 3D Presents NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Green Edition

AMD may have shown its stuff on the professional market, but NVIDIA, or at least its partner Club 3D, isn't idle either, though its own move was on the consumer front.

Those familiar with NVIDIA's portfolio of graphics adapters will no doubt know of the GeForce GTX 560 Ti card.

Basically, it is the best mainstream-level card that NVIDIA has at the moment, bordering on high-end (the Ti moniker determines the target consumer base).

Apparently, this very board has been put through a reinvention process at the hands of a certain partner company.

Club 3D is the culprit behind the appearance of an item that bears the name of GeForce GTX 560 Ti Green Edition.

As the name implies, it is made in such a way as to meet customer needs for energy efficiency, though the performance is in no way sacrificed.

All in all, there should be a 10% gain in power efficiency compared to the reference design, or so the press release says.

Meanwhile, the GPU (graphics processing unit) boasts a clock speed of 822 MHz, while the shaders (384 CUDA cores) work at 1,645 MHz and the memory (1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM) at 4,000 MHz.

Three display outputs are present (a pair of DVI ports and HDMI), as is the obligatory SLI support (for 2-way multi-GPU setups).

As for the cooler, it is a custom, dual-slot solution based on the original CoolStream fansink, with high performance heatpipes and a fan with a “a unique fan blade design.”

Unfortunately, even though it is well enough known that sales will begin at some point this month, the exact price was not disclosed.

Until this final bit of information on the GF114-based product becomes known, prospective customers can stop by the official product page that Club 3D has set up on its website, located here.
