GPU Value Comparisons

Busy at work today, so likely no GTX560 update today. But will definately update the charts again before the end of the week

Looks like the 560 pretty much rapes the 6950, and spars with the 570/6970 once heavily overclocked.
So far have only seen the 850 core EVGA at Landmark for R2625.95.
Average OC's seem to be in the 950-1000 core range.
 
If by "rapes" you mean performs alomst exactly the same then sure (thats from two sites data so far)

edit: woohoo, thread got stickied :D Thanks to the mod that did it, and the users that asked for it

gtx 560 at 1.2k core( guy in uk have soc running that 24/7 stock cooling), runs with gtx 580 :P

still best deal out there i think is 6950 vtx3d, mod to 6970, same price as gtx 560

My bad, was looking an overclocked edition, as so many of them are out of the box. Besides, why would you run it stock anyway..

One review got a reference card up to round 980 withOUT voltage tweak (Guru3d), and even the stock coolers are quiet and cool..
(Overclockersclub) got a reference to 1017/2034/2352MHz with voltage tweak..

560 is R173.05 cheaper than that VTX 6950, currently the HIS is on special for less at R2,749.00, which is still R123.05 more expensive than the 560, and it runs cooler and quieter (counts in my books)

I'm not a fanboy, just saying..

yeah pity 6970 is pretty much max oced, tried feeding volts only go 975 core :( some does do 1k core easy though, at 1025 core it beats 580 at vantage
 
I'd like to see if the 560 has the same kind of potential for vendor differentiation as the 460. That was really what set the 460 apart - everyone managed to add something to it. 6970 is pretty well maxed out for overclock potential. Does anyone have a link for that 1.2ghz OC?
I feel that the 560 doesn't quite bring the same value as the 460s did. It's only about par for what it offers in performance. It's not bad, but it's also not quite as competitive.

Ya i'm quit disappointed by the 560, just hasn't impressed me yet.. The 570 is still very much impressive.. But we'll see where prices go in the next few months.. Can't wait to see the 6990 though :D

You feel wrong mate, check out the 3DOverclock review I posted or on their site, Tiny Tom is an honest man and knows his shizzite.
Seriously have you checked any decent reviews? It's a killer card, basically with a moderate voltage bump you're almost guaranteed a 1GHz clock with any reference card.

You're looking at it from an overclocking perspective, which is a legitimate aspect, but I'm unlikely to do volt mods and all that. Stock vs stock, rand/fps is the first basis of a card's value. It is a good card, but it's not the same pound for pound as 460 was I think. If it was maybe $30 less it would be outstanding.

Well, my 460 1GB is at 850/1700/4000 at 0.978v (max 56 deg. in game -Bioshock2 4xAA 16xAF- with the HR-03), stock was 800, and reference stock was 675 or wotevr. If you're trying to tell me the appeal of the 460 wasn't strongly based on it's overclocking prowess, then you'd be dead wrong, it was a major factor, with almost every vendor bringing out heavily overclocked sku's.

An almost guaranteed 1GHz, and performance similar to 470, pipping even the 6970 to the post in most games is nothing to sniff at in my books.

Fair enough, if you don't OC you don't OC. I personally will take that free extra performance (with no trade-offs) and skip off to the hills laughing.
 
Overvolting the 560 does have a major trade-off - it skyrockets the power consumption way past 570 levels. Ok the card's potential is pretty impressive. I like the Twin Frozr one particularly.

Twin Frozr/Hawk/Lightings are always preferred :P

From Bit-tech:

"While overclocking didn’t impact the card’s idle power consumption or heat output (the card clocks itself down regardless), the power consumption of the card rose by 17W (or 6 per cent) to result in a total system power draw of 302W.

The peak temperature of the card also increased, from 37°C to 48°C, but the cooler remained very quiet throughout. With these levels of extra performance on tap, and with marginal thermal and power consumption detriments, there’s really no reason not to overclock your GTX 560 Ti 1GB.

The overclock we managed here is by no means uncommon either - a number of factory overclocked cards will be shipping at frequencies close to the ones we acheived. We also understand that some cards will have upgraded power delivery and even better cooling to allow GPU core speeds of 1GHz and 2GHz stream processors. "

Where are you getting your information from?

The 460's power consumption also rose fairly directly in relation to clocks, but I have no idea why you think it's as dramatic as you make it out to be.

Heavily overclocked it seems to average out about 10W more than a stock 470 at load, BUT 10W less at Idle, guess where it sits at the majority of the time..
