ASUS GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 Video Card
Cons:Not stable at stock memory clock

Pros:QuietCoolSmall card
Comment:
I could not get this card to be stable at stock clocks. The driver kept crashing and I got artifacts until my entire PC locked up during benchmarks. Stock clocks are 810 on core and 2001 on Memory. Once I changed the memory to 1800 it ran perfect. Most GTX 560s I've seen don't have anything over 1850.

ASUS GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 Video Card
Cons:Crashes constantly, Poor power management, No support from manufacturer

Pros:Low cost, Quiet, Fast gaming
Comment:
I have had this card for less than a month and it is constantly crashing the nvidia driver and or BSOD.After exhaustive research I cannot find a fix, sugesstions of rolling back the driver to an older version helped for a shot time then the problems began again. It seems as there is a power leak in the cards and they suddenly try to overdraw power and crash. There is no fix todate from either NVIDIA or ASUS.

ASUS GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 Video Card
Cons:Only 800MHz means this could be a faster 560, but the sacrifice is warranted in the WAAAY colder run temp. (you can buy an overclocked version here on NCIX if you want... its dual fan)

Pros:Can play any game with beautiful quality if you know how to optimize. Runs cool! Quiet
Comment:
I love ASUS products, and this card's smooth, quiet and cold running makes me proud of my choice. Its perfect for a budget gamer, and you could always SLI two of them together and get just as much performance without the heat of bigger cards. Highly Recommended!

ASUS GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 Video Card
Cons:Besides 1 cooling fan (Waste of PSU wattage and not really noticeably cooler..), a 16% Performance Difference (Ti is faster) AND from trusted dealers it's roughly $30 to $50 cheaper...varies on the deals you may find.

Pros:Just as capable as the 560 GTX DC Ti but, read cons!I got a free shirt when I got mine.. LOL "Compromise is for losers"
Comment:
I have this card (Mini-HDMI to HDMI FOR THE WIN) built with and Intel i7 950 CPU, 24gb of Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600MHz RAM on an ASUS Sabertooth x58 MoBo and everything is great. NVidia Control Panel on max settings, fast loads, great picture with my SyncMaster P2770FH, High FPS and no complaints!

ASUS GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 Video Card
Cons:Non-direct exhaust, little loud

Pros:The price for performance
Comment:
I got exactly what I wanted for with this item. For $150, the card performs good and has an attractive look. It would be nice if the fan exhausted out of the case, instead of ending an inch before the vent, but no big deal. Good buy

ASUS GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) ENGTX560 DC/2DI/1GD5 Video Card
Cons:Occasionally nvidia driver recover from crash

Pros:Include the mini HDMI - HDMI adapter
Comment:
Once in a while, nvidia driver crashed, the screen goes blank but the driver recover by itself. No harm done, just continue working. Asus didn't provide a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter for my GTX470, and the mount bracket need hand work to fit in the case. However, they seem to fix the cons with this card.
