toms have a good and simple conclusion -
A quick average of frame rates at 1080p sheds a little more light on how these cards match up in our benchmark suite. Bear in mind that we're excluding the new Batman game due to its show-stopping DirectX 11 bug.

Despite significantly different frame rates observable on a game by game basis, the field averages out in a way that puts each card pretty close to the others. Let's focus on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core, though.

The new card’s performance is about 12% higher than the standard GeForce GTX 560 Ti in our tests. Again, that figure will rise and fall depending on the game you're playing, the resolution you use, and the settings you choose. The point is that there's a quantifiable difference, and the case can be made for spending an extra $55 over the vanilla GTX 560 Ti for this 448-core version.

The problem is that AMD's Radeon HD 6950 1 GB is almost as fast, but it costs $45 less. If you're satisfied with its stock performance and planning to play at 1920x1080, there’s little reason to opt for more than a Radeon HD 6950 1 GB. It has the best price/performance ratio, matching the 2 GB version's performance and nipping at Nvidia's new GTX 560 Ti 448 Core.


But overclocking enthusiasts may see the competitive landscape a little differently. The $265 Radeon HD 6950 2 GB doesn't look like much of a contender compared to the cheaper 1 GB card. However, it gives you the chance to match the $350 Radeon HD 6970, if you're able to unlock its disabled GPU resources through a BIOS modification. Until now, there wasn’t a sub-$300 GeForce in Nvidia's line-up able to facilitate that same level of performance.

Our tests indicate that Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core introduces the potential for big gains via tweaking. As we saw from our overclocking tests, this board can sail past a pricier GeForce GTX 570 at its stock settings. The idea that AMD's Radeon HD 6950 might be unlocked is great, but it doesn't have as much overclocking headroom.

We're happy to see a sub-$300 option catering to enthusiasts with a penchant for Nvidia's product line. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core doesn't detract from the allure of AMD's Radeon HD 6950 2 GB, if you're willing to chance a firmware flash. But with that said, competition is a good thing in this space. More than anything, it's too bad that the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Core is being introduced with the expectation that it'll disappear soon. After all, it shows promise at its stock settings, while serving up value in its overclocking headroom. We're sure there will be power users happy to snatch up these GF110-based boards while they last.

but this cards oc potential is just too good.

and suppose if this was the original 560ti. we would be getting 6950 even cheaper than current and a 6970 1gb:))

It won't, in all probability. Moreover, there's the 1gb version of 6950 which is competent enough at 1080p to put it mildly, and much cheaper.

Nice launch by nvidia. But sad thing is this is a limited edition card, only for western markets for a two month period.

This is what the 560ti should have been like at launch.

This should have been the original 560-ti. Performance is terrific at its price. How much will be indian price? 16-17k would be best for this.

A very good buy for nvidia fans and performance doesn't disappoint at all even at stock. Battlefield 3 performance at ultra settings is even surpassing a 6970 at fullhd.
Too bad its limited edition only.

A GS600 will easily handle this beast.

Can't be very sure about this card:-

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 TI 448 Core Video Card Review - GeForce GTX 560 Ti with 448 Cores - Legit Reviews

Here's a MSI 560Ti 448 TFIII goes head on with MSI 6950 TFIII 1gb. Performance is more or less close. Now the 2gb 6950 TFIII is priced at $269 at Amazon. 1gb one should be at least $20 cheaper. At $289, the 560Ti 448 is in danger of looking a bit over-expensive as the gameplay experience in all these 3 cards would be more or less equal. Indian pricing for newer card will be on the higher side in all probability.

Nice launch.

Don't go by the price tag, the HD6950 will be cheaper for you in the long run.

How?

Power Consumption, that's how.

Nonetheless, a great product!

This product is as I stated earlier, a GTX 570 with one Shader cluster disabled. If it is available around $ 250 then it is a great buy because @ $289, the stated price of this card, currenly you can pick up a GTX 570 ith rebate.
