Overclocking

The Gainward GTX560 Ti Phantom isn't factory overclocked, so it uses the same 822/1040 MHz clock speeds as any other 560 Ti. In the overclocking tests it proved to be a bit problematic, as some tests would run at much higher settings, but eventually we had to come down to 880/1040 MHz to have the card stable through all the tests.

Benchmarks

• Processor: Intel i7 870 (@4022 MHz)
• Motherboard: MSI P55-GD80
• Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 2*2 GB DDR3 2000 CL9
• Hard drive: Seagate 7200.10 250 GB
• Power supply: Xigmatek NRP-HC1201
• Case: Open air test bench

We currently have a nice variety of mid-range cards around so there's plenty to compare the GTX 560 Ti to. The main rivals are obviously the HD6870 and HD6950, but we also have the last generation HD5870 and GTX470 for comparison with older cards. The HD6850 and GTX 550 Ti are the next step down in price and performance, so it made sense to also have their results on the graphs.

3DMark11

Kicking off with the newest 3Dmark and with the results arranged according to the Extreme preset the GTX560 is left third after the HD5870 and HD6950. In this test the results are almost identical with the HD6870.

Vantage

3Dmark Vantage Performance and this again at stock speed the GTX560 is left third after the two AMD cards. Overclocking boosts the results nicely and gets the card to the second place. This time both the HD6870 and the GTX470 are left behind.

Heaven

For one reason or another we just couldn't get the card to run the HWbot Heaven DX11-test, so the results are missing. With the results ranked according to the DX9-test the card is again left behind the two fastest AMDs. It's quite a close call with the HD6870 again, with the GTX560 being about 5% faster.
