GTX 560 Ti, in a nutshell, is a complete video card using the GF104 design; it is to GTX 460 what GTX 580 was to GTX 480. With the GTX 460 we saw NVIDIA disable some functional units and limit the clockspeeds, but for GTX 560 Ti they’re going all out. Every functional unit is enabled, and clockspeeds are much higher, with a core clock of 822MHz being what we believe is much closer to the original design specifications of GF104. Even though GF114 is identical to GF104 in architecture and the number of functional units, as we’re going to see the resulting video cards are quite different – GTX 560 Ti is quite a bit faster than GTX 460 most of the time.

So basically, when it comes to a video card that performs well, at the mid-level price range, you have to go with the GTX 560Ti. I specifically bought the MSI Twin Frozer II version, its overclocked from the factory 880 Graphics Core / 4200 Mem Clock and is warrantied for 5years. It also overclocks very nicely. Obviously I bought the 2 year extended from Memory Express, who doesn’t love over the counter swaps? Check out the specs.
