I'm tired of choosing between these three. I will buy whatever you will recommend

MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti

ASUS ENGTX560 TI DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 Ti

EVGA 01G-P3-1560-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti

I've read all reviews and still not sure

If it was me I would pick up the MSI and overclock it a bit to equal the ASUS stock. But if you don't want to overclock go with the ASUS.

Reply to andrewcarr

I'm not gonna overclock in the near future.

Reply to duckroll

Then if you don't plan on overclocking (voids warranty) I would get the ASUS.

Doesn anybody know why they deactivated this awesome card?

It is freaking awesome!

GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GTX 560 Ti

Best answer

My guess is that it isn't made by GIGABYTE anymore.

But you can still get cards at that clock.

Of those three I would get the MSI (I didn't include the sparkle brand one because I would not buy from them).

Yeah, I've checked the MSI Hawk and it is VERY noisy, it sounds like boeing 747. Zotac - $230, not bad.

Reply to duckroll

Where have you heard that it is noisy? What I have heard about it is all good.

So its like most cards at normal it will run at less than 65% fan speed at the highest and it is quiet. If you then overclock it and it has to run at 100% fan speed it is loud.

Already saw that and I would still buy that. That fan noise is with the case open, and on top of that the normal range when gaming is 30-60% so not much of the extreme noise. 60% is were the sound becomes noticeable but still not bad.

Okay, five minutes ago I was sure I am getting ASUS and now I am at the crossroads again

Reply to duckroll

Hard to screw up on any of those 3 cards.
They're all excellent.
I'd go for the lifetime warranty and the SO version.

EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR

Otherwise i'd just choose by whatever looks the best,hard to pick a bad card out of those.
