NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Review Thread

[bhavv]

Are you talking about your 560s?

Yup. If clocking to 1 Ghz+, have some serious airflow.

I wonder how hot the Gigabyte SOCs run.

just ordered my first PC upgrade ever!! the Msi gtx560 in the daily deal. i think its time to retire the 8800gt SLI i got with the pc

so new system spec will be -

q9300 @ 2.6ghz
4gb ram
2x500gb hdd
gtx 560

haha managed to get one before they all went , should give you a good boost on the gfx front .

Maybe, it just seems like their basing their review on the logic of 2560x1600. Although when it comes to CPU's usually they really diss AMD CPU's.

What really annoys me about Hardocp is they just show results at 2560x1600, seems daft - I bet theirs more people running 1680x1050 and 1920x1980, I wish they would do the review results on all resolutions.

Hardocp must think everyones loaded and can afford £800+ TFT's lol.

Indeed. Hardocp ceased being relevant a long time ago (around the time they bought in their idiotic "groundbreaking" review system).
Shame as it used to be a quality site.

Probably because its only a single card?

Trident 512K
Cirrus Logic 1MB

My first graphics card was a ISA based Cirrus Logic 512k and then moved on to a 1Mb Trident. That was in a 486 SX 25Mhz, 4Mb RAM rig. I have a feeling you probably edged me out and started off with even older tech like 386 or even a 286!

Well yeah, two cards are always going to be hotter, especially with this type of cooler. Your temps look ok though for sli at 950Mhz What's the noise like?

I have a lot of hearing loss so dont ask me that lol.

Well, they seem to start making noise at 80% which is the maximum the default profile runs them at over 80 degrees, and they are definitely audible at 100%.

1000 Mhz isnt happening in SLI is seems

I reduced the volts to 1050mv and 950 Mhz is still stable, but with 5 degrees less heat



That looks fine now for 24/7 use. The display driver stops responding with 950 Mhz at stock volts (1012mv). I'll try going a bit lower next.

I think you need to overclock your cpu more specially if ur using sli
