Since pretty much the whole world knew that today NVIDIA was going to unveil its brand-new GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card (after all, detailed specs and even the release date have been available online for quite a long time), the GPU manufacturer has finally decided to put an end to speculation and went official, presenting both the card itself, and, more importantly, the estimated price point. As expected, the newest addition of the Company’s “Fermi” line of consumer GPUs sports default graphics core clocked to 822MHz, 8 tessellation engines and 384 CUDA cores, as well as 1GB of GDDR5 memory.

Moreover, the GPU will also offer full support for NVIDIA 3D Vision and NVIDIA Surround technologies, as well as for NVIDIA SLI, should users decide to add more than one card to their systems.

“The GTX 560 Ti GPU has it all: awesome DX11 performance, terrific overclockability, and ultra quiet operation—attributes of the perfect performance GPU,” said Drew Henry, general manager of GeForce GPU business at NVIDIA.

“With the GTX 560 Ti under the hood, and an awesome library of DX11 titles coming in the very short future, it is truly a great time to be a PC gamer!” Mr. Henry concluded.

Last, but certainly not least, we'll have to talk about the pricing, which is actually extremely interesting, the new NVIDIA GPU selling for around 200 Euro (270 US dollars), which will certainly make the new graphics card from NVIDIA quite a hot item for mainstream consumers looking for an affordable, yet powerful upgrade for their systems.

Plus, they'll have plenty of options to choose from, since the GTX 560 Ti will be available starting today from the world’s leading add-in card partners, including, ASUS, EVGA, Gainward, KFA2, Gigabyte, Inno 3D, Leadtek, MSI, Palit, Point of View, PNY, Sparkle, Zotac and others.
