So I'm deciding whether to get the 560 Ti over the regular 560. I've been recommended the 448 Core by 5+ people but I don't understand why it's so much better.. To me it seems that the regular 560 has better stats in some sections.
So my question is, is it worth paying $90 more for the Gainward TGX 560 Ti 448? Or should I stick with the regular 560 and eventually put it them into SLI? This will be for gaming purposes with my resolution at 1920x1080..
The Powersupply I'll be using is Seasonic S12II 620W Power Supply.
Thanks!

By far the 560 Ti 448 is better. It's a slightly crippled 570, 448 cores vs the 570's 480 cores.The 560 has 336 and the 560 Ti has 384. Both are based on GF114. Where as the the 448 version is based on GF110(GTX 580/570) It also has more memory.
Would I be seeing a dramatic frame rate rise that you know of?
Thanks for the great answer!

Another good card in that range is the 6950. Right now, it's on sale for $200 with a $10 rebate and it also comes with two games (Dirt3 and BF3)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
6950 is roughly the same performance as the original 560 TI (384 cores). For $190, it's a great deal.

570 boards that fail testing on one of the SM's are salvaged and sold as 560 - 448's.
Guru3D uses the following games in their test suite, COD-MW, Bad Company 2, Dirt 2, Far Cry 2, Metro 2033, Dawn of Discovery, Crysis Warhead. Total fps (summing fps in each game @ 1920 x 1200) for the various options in parenthesis (single card / SL or CF) are tabulated below along with their cost in dollars per frame single card - CF or SLI:
$ 200.00 560 Ti (455/792) $ 0.44 - $ 0.51
$ 210.00 560 Ti - 900 Mhz (495/862) $ 0.42 - $ 0.49
$ 240.00 560-448 (501/835) $ 0.48 - $ 0.57
As you can see above, the 560-448 gets just 6 fps more than the 560 Ti (900Mhz) for an additional $30 and it gets beat by that 560 in SLI. The cost per frame (lowest from newgg's current pricing on major brand) is 14% higher as single card and about 16% higher in SLI. I have two other concerns about the 448:
1. It's based upon the 570 and the 570 was the weakest card of the nVidia 5xx lineup from both an OC standpoint (due to a rather weak VRM on the reference cards) and a yield standpoint (the reason we have a 448). The 560 Ti, when equipped with a decent PCB, VRM and cooler has proved itself to be among the best f the bunch in this department recahing OC's of more than 30%. The 570 can also be a good overclocker, provided ya get one which also has the better PCB and beefed up VRM..... see the link below for which ones are which.
http://www.overclock.net/t/929152/have-you-killed-a-570...
2. It's a "limited edition" card due to the nature of the source materials meaning if ya wanna add a 2nd card, it's going to be difficult to find a match.
Look at the non-reference 560 Ti designs, factory OC'd to 900 Mhz. Among them you will find several models that have upgrade dPCB's and beefed up VRMs. The ones w/ 7 phases or more and the special coolers have been known to top 30% overclocks over the reference card speed.

@recon-uk think there is any truth to this customer comment? "I bought the Super Clocked version of this card, and will likely buy a second in the near future. As some people have pointed out they do run hot, pull the thing apart and you'll find out why. The thermal paste is gooped up all over the place, I highly recommend cleaning it off and applying some OCZ Freeze. Enjoy 0 lag on all your games at max".

Happens to everyone
Is OP still around? We've been talking about deals, but we haven't heard from him in a while...
BTW glad to hear it's still only $420 as opposed to $450
I'm still around, sorry about that! I forgot to mention I'm from Australia so TigerDirect and Newegg aren't in the picture.. I think so far I've decided I'll go with 2x ASUS GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II Overclocked 1GB cards.
