Heat and Noise, Conclusions
Noise and Temperature Results:
Noise measurements were taken with a digital sound meter approximately 3cm away from the video card fan, reducing the ability of other components such as the CPU or PSU fans to interfere with the final results. Software used for stressing was 3D Mark Vantage, looped until the sound level was stable and stopped rising.
Temperature readings were taken at an ambient temperature of approximately 22 degrees Celsius, on a open test bench with the fan set to auto. Load and idle temperatures were monitored by MSI's Afterburner utility. Software used for stressing was 3D Mark Vantage, looped until the temperature was stable and stopped rising.
Conclusions:
With the release of the first new card of 2011, NVIDIA looks to have another well executed and performing mainstream video card, similar to what we saw with the previous GTX 460. That, combined with a healthy overclock and custom cooling solution that is not only effect, but also quiet thanks to Palit's engineers, it stretched its legs further than we expected during our testing, beating out the HD 6870 with ease and clawing at the GTX 570 and even the HD6970 in a few tests. It's hard to ignore the GTX 560 Ti Sonic's raw performance. The only matter left unknown is the pricing once they start landing in Australia, as US pricing starts at $249USD.
