PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:Proprietary drivers - I use Linux
Pros:SpeedyNo lagDecently priced Comment:
I bought this card for my most recent computer build. I've had trouble with ATI cards in the past, and this was the first NVIDIA based card I've purchased. So far, I've found it's performance to be quite impressive - no lag, high rate of refresh, effortlessly works at all resolutions. Best of all, it didn't break the bank to purchase. I'm considering adding a second card to my machine once the prices drop a little further. |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:Not a ref card as in the pic
Pros:560 ti!!! Too much to list, came from 9400GT Comment:
I bought this because of the price paired with the $30 MIR. The card is working as far as I can tell (haven't run it through it's paces yet), but I am planning to use a water cooling setup in the near future and hopefully I can get a sweet block for this thing. Probably can, haven't looked yet.The card brings graphics to a whole new level. Coming from a 9400Gt, this thing does laps! I won't go on further about the difference, just be prepared if you were in the dark ages like me! |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:None
Pros:Amazing power to price ratio!Runs most current games at maximum settingsHandles Battlefield 3 demo on high settings with no frame rate dipsGreat temperatures (while running BF3, goes to around 55 degrees max). Idles around 28 degrees. Comment:
I got this card for 180 after MIR. For this price, I don't think you can get a better card. I did a conservative overclock to 900 Mhz and it's been stable for a month.Runs battlefield 3 demo just fine on high settings. Absolutely destroys other games too.I would recommend this card to anyone looking for something in the under 200$ range. This review was modfied by poster @ 10-14-11 01:01 PM |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:Had some trouble running BF3 Beta (Might have just been the beta drivers)
Pros:Runs BF3Overclocks wellTemps are low when overclocking compared to the 400 Series cardsRuns most games at highWell priced Comment:
I got this card around a month ago for about 180 with MIR. Have it overclocked to 1000/2000/2300 i 1.087 Volts which works wonders. Reached a temp of 71C but that was when I was stress testing to make sure it was stable. During games I get around mid 60C with the fan on max. Would highly recommend this card to people who are building a "medium" priced PC. Look forward to get another for SLI during the winter holidays.

Pros:price/performance Comment:
nice price/performance video card. Also, Nvidia drivers are really hard to beat these days. Just in case, if you don't have a mid tower at least, you won't have enough space for it. |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:Takes up two slotsVery VERY long
Pros:Extremely QuietDual DVI outputHDMI outputKeeps cool/Looks cool Comment:
Just got this in the mail today, and have to say, it's a lot longer then I expected. Wider too. Thankfully, where it's placed, I won't need to worry about it cutting into other cards spaces. But if you have a cramped case, it can be hell to try placing it in.All stress tests and all tests of the game all work out great, and really prove how great of a card this is. My only complaint is the size, but even that's not a problem if you have a decent case size.In short, if not for a micro-ATX mobo, should be fine for your case. Powerful, and able to play Deus Ex Human Revolution or Borderlands without breaking a sweat. |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:Larger than what I was accustomed toSingle fan cooling tends to run a bit warm
Pros:Great dealLegitimate lifetime warrantyFastQuietSmaller than other variants Comment:
Bought for 180 after MIR to upgrade for upcoming BF3 release. I was coming from a single-slot 8600GTIt BARELY fit with my current setup. Any longer and it would've interfered with my SATA ports on an mATX board. It would've also touched the middle HD cage on my P180, but luckily that can be removed if it was the case.Runs ~40 idle, but with my sound card blocking its fan it runs ~80 at load. Runs L4D2/TF2/CSS at max settings with effort to spare. I hear it runs BF3 alpha on High around 60FPS constantly, so I'd imagine at launch this will be the best bang for buck card running BF3. For the warranty, it's 1 year limited until you register online. Once you do, the warranty is lifetime (and not lifetime of the card on market, it's literally lifetime of the physical card). This is exclusive for the XLR8-series cards from PNY, and not for their normal lines.For the price, I don't think it can be beat! |

Used this card for a mini-ITX gaming build. Very good performance and the blower design keeps the heat out of case, which is important for an ITX case. |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:-reference design with limited overclocking potential
Pros:-Exceptional bang for the buck-overclocking potential-Great nVidia drivers Comment:
Got it for $199 + $30 rebate - amazing value IMO, considering the other factory oc'd 560 ti cards are going for around $235~I'm not a big OC'er but I was able to get this card running near 900MHz running very stable and cool without any effort (provided your pc case is well ventilated).Looking to pick up another one if the price drops lower in the future.Update:If you plan to do SLI with this card, make sure your mobo provides at least 1 pci slot gap between 2 gfx cards OR buy a version with more aggressive cooling as this card runs very hot in SLI as a primary card.

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:None
Pros:All games max, Runs cool, Super quiet, Excellent build quality with the card it self Comment:
Replaced an Ati Radeon 5770 1gb, Now able to play all games with max settings at (1680x1050) super smooth paired with a Q6600 Stock. Drivers from nvidia are top notch coming no longer any games crashes. The card runs very cool (31 degrees) idle and (70 degrees) max under full load with Firmark Burn in Test. Even with a custom fan profile with higher fan settings the card never gets hot enough to be more than a light hum. Got it for 4 $199 on sale. Definately worth the money, solid midrange to high end car, Hoping to sli it in the future with a new build. |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:- Higher idle and load temperature readings than I expected- Noisy fan at 50% or greater fan speed
Pros:- Nice mid-high range card- Good accessories Comment:
Having owned a Diamond HD4870 with Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo Pro VGA Cooler which runs cool (< 34 idle, 60 full) and silent, I was not prepared for the significant increase in temperature (50 idle, 70+ in games) and fan noise that comes with this card. FWIW, I have a pair of 120mm fans in front of the case drawing the air in and a pair of 80mm fans in the back of the case drawing air out.On the plus side, this card handles every game I own quite nicely at 1920x1080. Games that challenged or occasionally challenged my HD4870 such as Crysis 2, Total War: SHOGUN 2, Dawn of War II, NBA 2K11, Vindictus, now run smoothly.This is a nice card. However, if I were given the choice again, I might opt for the equivalent Twin Frozer II MSI card. |

Cons:~MIR
Pros:~Mid-High end graphics card~Runs cool Comment:
This card idles around 35 degrees and doesn't go above 70 on full load. It plays most games nicely on high or max settings at 1920x1080 resolution. It comes with a bunch of nice accessories and a game which is very nice. The mini-hdmi to hdmi adapter is very handy if you want to plug in your HD tv or console. |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:
fan speed control
Pros: works perfect, runs cool. Comment:
Nvidia still doesn't seem to run their fan speeds according to gpu temp. This one, like my 8800, had it's fan fixed at40%. I didn't push it to see if or when it speeds up, but rather used EVGA Precision to control it with a curve.Other than that, running great. My cpu is bottlenecking I think: 3dmark 06 only went up to just over 12k with this. |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:
Could use more colour on the cooler.
Pros: Really fast. Quality product. Excellent value. Quiet and efficient. Comment:
I bought this when it is on sale and I think $200 for a card like this is a steal.This card is replacing my HD3870 cross-fire and now I can turn up all the graphic options to highest on many games. I'm surprised that this card is very quiet even under load.I've never owned any PNY product before but it looks like a quality product so if you are looking for a new graphic card for gaming run out to get this one while you can. |

PNY video cards are underrated...a lifetime warranty after registration is worth its weight in $$$This thing runs silently and cool.It can be overclocked quite easily with the MSI tool and still run quite silentlyIt plays any game I throw at it better than my old 8800GT.I have it connected via HDMI to an Asus ML239H which has a IPS panel and the colors are just outta sight.frame rates in Just Cause2 went way way up compared to my old card. |

PNY is a underrated company. Although they don't make alot of video cards NVIDIA contracts out alot of work to this company. This video card was $200 after rebate which makes it a great bang for the buck. |

Cons:
Temperatures while gaming on max settings
Pros: PerformanceReliability SmoothnessPrice vs Performance Comment:
Bought this when it was on sale for 200$, awesome bang for buck, and I am ecstatic about finally dumping ATI for Nvidia.Considering the price this card has amazing performance, can power two displays, 3D, etc. The only thing that I noticed that I didn't like about it is that when I am running Crysis 2 on max graphics it almost reaches 70 degrees at some points and kind of worries me seeing how there isn't much to my knowledge that I can do to make it cool down more seeing how its cased in plastic.Overall I'm very satisfied seeing how it runs everything I throw at it no matter the settings like it is nothing. |

PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) VCGGTX560TXPB Video Card
Cons:
none
Pros: -Super Silent-Overclocked easily Comment:
This card replaced two GTS 250 in SLI. The very first thing I noticed when replacing my two older cards is how much quieter this card is when idle. It drops down to a whisper. My older cards sound like jet engines in comparison. I also tested how much better this was over my old SLI setup and it seems to be 1/3rd better which is just enough (plus more I expect) to play Crysis 2 on Extreme (1080p V-sync).Overclocking potential seems to be good. Right out of the box I clocked the card at 900 MHZ (from 822MHZ) and it stayed cool and relatively quiet throughout intense loads.I have a Corsair Graphite case so room was not an issue at all.Comment on promos: I managed to get this with a special offer of Just Cause 2 and Mafia 2 for free. Unlike other promos, this one can be activated on Steam which I liked. It also comes with a free movie offer written on the inside of the box. Unfortunately, it's not really a "download" per-say because it needs to be run in a special application with DRM and the movies aren't in HD, but I suppose I can't complain because it's free. |

Pros: Great for modern gamesSilentLifetime warranty Comment:
Had this card for about two weeks or so, I have not tried to overclock with it so far, but even at stock speeds it was great, played crysis 2 on hardcore settings with no fps issues. Temps are good, that might be a different story when I start overlocking it. Lifetime warranty is always good.. for 200 bucks this card was a steal. |

Cons:
Get's weak in the higher resolutions
Pros: Value, Cool Idle, Low Noise, Powerful, Lot's of overclock room Comment:
The overclocking room on this is amazing. I can get it 900mhz stable with no voltage tweak and 1000mhz with a little voltage.Compared to my 8800GT that was in there before it is small (a tiny bit), much quieter, A whole lot cooler in idle, and significantly more powerful.My overclocked core 2 Quad (3.1GHz) is not bottlenecking it. |

I bought this card to replace the 8800GT SLI i originally hadmy current rig: Q6600 r 3.0Ghz4gb memPNY 560GTX tiI am able to run crysis 2 on advanced, 1600x1050 real smooth, even on Pier 17. It's way faster than 8800GT in SLIThe downside is this card is a bit bigger than the 8800gt, putting it into the chassis was a pain, had to rearange the harddrives. |
Its really just a flawless card. I picked it up for 169$ in store and it performs great for me. Ive had no problems. You really dont need a 590 unless your doing some extreme 3D video editing. Can't complain about this card
