Overclocking your graphics card is a very quick and easy way to get a little extra performance out of your system. While the 1000MHz might not be obtainable with all GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics cards, we are confident that almost all will handle 950MHz without a problem. In either case, gamers can enjoy performance gains as high as 1520%.

Yes, the GTX 560 is great, but you could put the 6970 results because we can turn a 6950 in to a 6970. I donīt now if its possible on the 1GB cart, if so itīs the best cart for your money out there. |

Since I cannot find a Radeon HD 6950 1GB for sale and there is little info on them I am going to get one of these. |

Hey I just picked up the ASUS ENGTX560 TI DCII/2DI/1GD5 and its great. It is already overclocked but after reading this review I am sure it can go way past the 830MHz its currently at. I will give it a try and let you know how I go. |

Yes it's true..despite all my NVidia bashing over the last year the 560Ti got the nod to replace my ATI 4870. I ordered the 900Mhz EVGA Superclocked version this week. Cuda support actually weighed heavily as I crunch both Seti at Home and Einstein at Home and I've been really getting my butt kicked by the Fermi card owners. I can't wait to try the 560Ti out on Metro 2033. |

Does the card require voltage tweaking in order to acquire the 1GHz core clock and increased memory speed? |

Have the Gigabyte SOC 950 , runs great and just put on the swifttec 82 gpu block <use the 460 adapter plate> now running like 60c @ 1.1GHz.. yup over one gig with only a very minor volt adjust . using there adj utility not the one that come on disk as that auto adusts and the older utility doesn't just have to put it in start up. so overall the 560Ti is a really great card. Also for Seti ect that use the Cuda.. WOW went from 6K a day on my 9600GSO to 12100 and its still climbing steeply.. I got this for seit and with a amd 955 + the 560Ti its a real happy cruncher here  |

Great article overall. I just have one complaint. I get very annoyed when people review video and CPU's and make judgments on temperature and is affect on the lifetime of the device. Your quote below shows what I'm talking about. "This 24% rise in temperature was quite considerable and although we did not run into any stability issues, upgrading the cooler might be a good idea for long term use." At least you said "might", but I must say it scares a lot of noobs. Nvidia lists the temperature constraint of the 560 TI as follows: Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) 99 C If you want the honest truth the damn card would prolly last five years easy if it was about 90 degrees C under load!!! No one actually tests this stuff though because it takes years to test when it will fail if ever. Also, people who buy these cards are gamers, and they have a 90% chance, I'd guess, of upgrading in 3 years anyway. So why worry about temperature when its well under nvidia's max spec? In conclusion I wouldn't have included the comment about upgrading the cooler being a good idea for long term use. |

@ Daniel - did you read page 2? Install Nvidia System Tools :P So do step one and get back to us  |

I was about to ask the same question as Daniel and I also missed the 'quick reference' to System Tools. Without System Tools, everything else is meaningless but everything else is fully explained in detail and only a quick reference/quick mention of System Tools. WTF |

@ Richcreator - How daffy are you? There is a page titled "Nvidia System Tools", either you need glasses you a lesson in how to read. WTF!!! lol |

This would be the first time for me to do an overclock... So it kinda scares the crap out of me :P I have an asus card wich has only 1 cooling slot "Asus ENGTX560 Ti DC/2DI/1GD5" And when I think about it I have the feeling that it will implode at the minimum increase XD Is there a way of improving it so slowly that there is no way of having to reboot the pc to know when to stop and all of the other crashy similar things? I don't want a major overclock, just a tiny safe one without making my pc blow up :P |

Pettyx. Yes, very possible. Here is the link. it WILL take you a while. A good while. But its the safest way other than scowering the forum pages for already tested rates. Enjoy http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2011/04/25/gpu-overclocking-overclocking-your-graphic-card/ Running 560 ti's in SLI is a nother way to go for it. OC them both and you be running far over the speed of a 580. Possible even a OC'ed 580. There are graphs online showing its performace vs a single 580. Pretty impressive little 560's we have here. |
