POV and TGT Create the Charged and UltraCharged GTX 560 Ti

The POV-TGT team has stepped forth to announce their latest graphics adapters, in this case a pair of new incarnations of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti, the strongest mainstream board in the 500 series.

NVIDIA may have fallen short of expectations when it released the first 400 series graphics adapter last year, but it made up for it when it unleashed the 500 line.

Not only were the 580 and 570 better in all ways over the 480 and 470, the other boards turned out to be quite competent as well.

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the strongest of the mainstream adapters, the Ti moniker being intended to set it apart from the high-end ones.

Now, it appears that Point of View and TGT have again pooled their resources, leading to the appearance of two new versions of this product.

The official press release describes the series as the first “high performance NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 3D processor board family featuring 2 GB of fast GDDR5 memory.”

They are known as the GTX 560 Ti Charged and UltraCharged and are both factory overclocked and equipped with 2 GB of the above mentioned memory type.

For those that want a reminder, the stock version has the GPU, shaders and memory working at 822 MHz, 1,645 MHz and 4,008 MHz, respectively, not to mention just 1 GB GDDR5.

In this case, the Charged card has clocks of 860 MHz, 1,721 MHz and 4,008 MHz, while the UltraCharged goes even higher, to 911 MHz, 1,822 MHz and 4,008 MHz.

In other words, only the memory is left at the same setting, although one can very well say that pushing the VRAM any higher would have been unnecessary anyway, considering the fact that there is double the normal capacity of it.

The announcement mentions no prices, but online stores should list them soon, if they haven't already, so users won't have to wait long for this final information.
