Test Setup:
Today's test system consists of the hardware listed below, and as with all good testing a clean install is used and the latest Windows Updates are applied. The applications and games used in today's tests are the latest of what was available at the time of this analysis - links to demos and free trials are provided when applicable.
Palit's GeForce GTX 560 Ti Sonic features a default core clock of 900 MHz, shader of 1800 MHz and memory running at 2100 MHz (4200 MHz effective). This is a healthy increase from the standard core clock of 822 MHz, shader of 1644 MHz and memory of 2004 MHz (4008 MHz effective).
Due to a lack of early support from GPU-Z and Afterburner, no overclocking or GPU-Z screenshots are present. Please note: PhysX is disabled for consistency between results.
