Palit Overclocks GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Light Turbo Limited Edition

Seeking to address the needs of gamers who want to make the best of all the new titles of 2011, Palit has developed a successor, of sorts, for the GTS 450 Twin Light Turbo edition launched last year, in September (2010).

Guru3D reports that Palit has created the factory-overclocked GTX 560 Ti Twin Light Turbo Limited Edition video card.

This will, in a way, pick up the task of the GTS 450 Twin Light Turbo of 2010.

Unfortunately, Palit did not actually say how much faster the item is supposed to run compared to NVIDIA's reference GTX 560 Ti.

For those who want a reminder, the card has the GF114 GPU (graphics processing unit) operating at 822 MHz, while the GDDR5 memory is set at 4,008 MHz.

Meanwhile, the shaders (384 CUDA cores) have a frequency of 1,645 MHz.

Palit's GTX 560 Ti Twin Light Turbo Limited Edition should have all three working harder, though, naturally, this, and the special cooler, will demand a higher price tag than the $200 (200 Euro) point.

The card has a Fermi 2.0-based GF114 GPU and a greater performance per watt, plus a sound output of under 10 dB, which is definitely something to consider.

The cooler accomplishes this even while the two fans work ceaselessly to disperse the heat brought to the heatsink by the four heatpipes.

Palit timed this card quite well, knowing how many games will make their debut starting this month (October, 2011).

Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, all of these will put PhysX, 3D Vision, Tessellation and every other DirectX 11 feature through the grinder.

All in all, it could be said that this ambitious board will stay a favorite right until the next generation of GPUs comes out, and probably even after that.
