14 DAY TRIAL // Just a very short time ago, NVIDIA officially launched the GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics adapter and, sure enough, its partners, in this case Zotac, are already set with their own models.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti is the Santa Clara, California-based company's first 500 series card to address the mainstream market.
As expected, Zotac already has its own version ready, one which is bundled with a voucher for the download of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Like all GTX 560 cards, it is based on the GF114 graphics processing unit which operates at a frequency of 822 MHz.
This GPU is complemented by 1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, which uses a 256-bit interface and has a clock speed of 4,000 MHz.
The board also boasts 384 CUDA cores and a shader speed of 1,645 MHz, plus support for the NVIDIA CUDA technology, PhysX, 3D Vision Surround and, of course, SLI.
3D Vision Surround will let one play games or media on three displays in 3D as long as a multi-GPU setup is present (enabled by the aforementioned SLI).
Multiple video outputs are, naturally, present, them being dual-link DVI-I, DisplayPort and HDMI 1.4a.
Finally, the product is bundled with the Zotac Boost Premium software bundle and delivers “best-in-class frame rates for a smooth lag-free gaming experience.”
“ZOTAC continues to raise expectations of gamers all over the world. Our new ZOTAC GeForce GTX 560 Ti delivers the performance gamers crave and the power they need to play the latest DirectX 11 titles with maximum details,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.
The official press release did not really give the exact price of this unit, but considering that its performance is mostly identical to that of the reference GTX 560 Ti, its price should be similar.
Depending on how much of a premium the game voucher and the Zotac software demands, the product shouldn't cost much more than $270 (200 Euro in Europe).
