14 DAY TRIAL // Gainward has really decided to go all out with the latest addition to the GTX 500 series of Fermi GPUs and introduced no less than 4 different versions of the card, each providing a different level of factory overclocking, as well as some other interesting features on the side. The models in question are the Gainward GTX 560 Ti 2048MB "Phantom", Gainward GTX 560 Ti 1024MB "Phantom", Gainward GTX 560 Ti 1024MB "Golden Sample" and Gainward GTX 560 Ti 1024MB standard, that we'll briefly detail as follows.
Both new Phantom cards pack Gainward's already famous enhanced cooling technology, featuring two silent GR8(Great 8cm) PWM fans and 4 pcs of Gainward Grand-Prix Heat-Pipes Hybrid 6 mm heat-pipes.
The Gainward GTX 560 Ti 1024MB "Phantom" is factory over-clocked for all 384 CUDA Cores at 835 MHz and 2050MHz for 1024MB GDDR5 256-bit bus wide memory interface with memory bandwidth of 131.2 GB/sec, while the Gainward GTX 560 Ti 2048MB "Phantom" sets at default GPU clock of 822 MHz, while its shaders and memory reach 1645 MHz and 2004 MHz respectively.
Next in line comes the Gainward GTX 560 Ti 1024MB "Golden Sample", sporting a new translucent cover design and coming pre-over-clocked 8% from 822MHz to 900MHz for all 384 CUDA cores and from 2,004MHz to around 2,100MHz for 1 GB GDDR5 256 bit memory.
Last, but certainly not least, comes the Gainward GTX 560 Ti 1024MB GDDR5 default GPU, that's clocked at 832MHz while the shader and memory reach at 1,645 MHz and 2004 MHz.
The four new Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti cards are available for pre-order in Europe, their pricing starting at 212 Euro (GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB) and going up to 230 Euro for the GeForce GTX 560 Ti Golden Sample 1GB, 248 Euro for the GeForce GTX 560 Ti Phantom 1GB and, finally, 371 Euro for the GeForce GTX 560 Ti Phantom 2GB.
