The GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win from EVGA does not stop at your everyday reference design. Instead, EVGA puts two graphics processors on the same circuit board, essentially making it Geforce GTX 560 Ti times two.
The newcomer is based on Nvidia’s GF114 GPU with 384 CUDA cores, which gives us a total of 786 cores–50 percent more than the GTX 580 that is currently topping the charts for Nvidia. The card comes with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory divided into two 256-bit memory buses, and four video outputs–three DVI-D and one Mini HDMI. The latter provides support for 3D Vision Surround with a single graphics card.
Naturally, the clock frequencies are also higher than normal. EVGA has turned up the knobs to 850MHz in the GPU core and 1700 MHz for the shaders. This is not a huge increase from the reference design’s 822 and 1645 MHz, but that can no doubt be amended with some tweaking. The memory frequency, however, remains at 4000 MHz (effective, GDDR5).
The actual PCB measures 29.5 cm and is covered by a cooler with four heat pipes and three temperature-controlled fans that takes up an extra expansion slot. The power supply requires two 8-pin PCI Express cables. The new graphics card is currently available from EVGA’s U.S. online store for $520, which is quite good value for this card. According to EVGA, this card will perform 30% better than a single GTX 580, which has prompted the manufacturer to call it the “GTX 585″.
