just overclock your 560, and you can say it beats the 570.... because it's overclocked.

With just a 192 bit bus width (why did EVGA make this?), I'm wondering if it IS faster than a 560.
Why are some cards 3 years when others are 10 years?
The 580 I had was a 10 year with ER. It is now 3 years with KR
Bit of a shame that not all high end cards are ER
It depends on what the reseller carries. All cards offered in -AR in North America are also offered as -ER in Europe at http://eu.evga.com

Thanks very much for that info - I have a 256-bit memory GTX460.
So bang goes SLI.
Glad I found it out now!

This is odd:

When i bought both of mine, they were listed as KR with 3 yr warranties, which one stands?

Can you clarify if this card is 256-bit or 192-bit please? We ordered 460's, we'd expect full blown 460's, not some cut-down version.

No way could this be faster than a 560
Clock for clock a 560 is better as the silicon was updated.
Also 560's clock higher so a 560 "stock" although Nvidia dont actually specify a generic stock speed for a 560 is around 820mhz, most clock very close to 1000
no 460's get that high.
I would say (purely for arguments sake)
a 740 - 50mhz 560 would equal this 460
Soldato
yeah but are you talking 560 or 560ti remember two versions of 560
my 460 MSI would do 820mhz
my 460 MSI would do 820mhz

Everything else is not the same mate, the IPC on a 560 is slightly better than a 460 and the performance per watt is quite a lot better...
Even though the original GF104 incorporated many of the architectural features which were eventually incorporated into the current generation of high-end GPUs, NVIDIA still refined certain aspects to create the GF114. Much like with GF110, one of NVIDIA’s main focuses was to increase performance per watt. So once again the transistor layout was rearranged so more of the faster, higher leakage transistors were placed on the critical rendering paths instead of being used for periphery tasks. Meanwhile, the slower, low leakage transistors were placed where speed wasn’t a primary concern.
Strategically distributing the transistors in this way still allows for a small speed-up in overall rendering performance but since the GF104 was already “fine tuned” in this way, the effect won’t be as apparent as with the GF110.

Keep banging that drum Fella!
Kudos to Gibbo for sending these back, makes the customer (me) feel looked after
Hear hear.
