NVIDIA Launches GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448-Core GPU

[wraggster]

NVIDIA has just launched the GeForce GTX 560 Ti with 448 cores. Though perhaps a bit unimaginative in terms of branding, the new GeForce GTX 560 Ti with 448 cores (http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-560-Ti-448Core-GPU-Review/) is outfitted with the same GF110 GPU powering high-end GeForce GTX 570 and GTX 580 cards, but with a couple of its streaming multiprocessors fused off. The card has 448 CUDA cores arranged in 14 SMs, with 56 texture units and 40 ROPs. Reference specifications call for a 732MHz core clock with 1464MHz CUDA cores. 1.2GB of GDDR5 memory is linked to the GPU via a 320-bit bus and the memory is clocked at an effective 3800MHz data rate. Performance-wise, the new GPU proved to be about 10 to 15 percent faster (http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-560-Ti-448Core-GPU-Review/?page=7) than the original GeForce GTX 560 Ti and a few percentage points slower than the GeForce GTX 570."
