The GTX 570 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest Fermi 2.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 560 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 199. The good news is, with the release of the GTX 560 Ti, the GTX 560 's price is getting more discount.

NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Fermi 2.0 graphics card inside the GTX 560, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. In our synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 560 blows past the GTX 460 and, amazingly, even the GTX 470 as well.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, HD 6870, the GTX 560 was -4.5 % slower.
