Nvidia Preps GF110-based GeForce GTX 560 Ti Upgrade
Nvidia is apparently planning to release an updated and upgraded version of its GTX 560 Ti graphics card reference model.
This new Ti will, if VR-Zone is right, be based on the GF110 chip, which makes it a close relative to the 570 and 580 models. It will also mean a drop of the current GF114.
The publication reports that the new 560 Ti will essentially be a 570 with 14 (and one disabled) streaming multiprocessor with a total of 448 cores, up from the current 384. It is more than likely that the clock speed will be below that of the 570. Expect to see the 320-bit memory interface with 56 TMUs and 40 ROPs.
The likely performance gain is pure speculation at this time, but I will make an educated guess that the card will be consuming more power than the 170 W of the current 560 Ti and move closer to the 219 W of the 570.
Current 560 Ti graphics cards sell for street prices in the $220 to $270 range. An upgrade could breath more life into the card, which should help Nvidia move more chips during the upcoming Christmas season.

Damn, I just bought a 560ti. T_T
So they're going to call it what? A GTX 560 GTi? A GTX 565? Surely they won't leave the name the same (like the GTX 260's upgrade).
Interesting.
It was between the 560ti and the HD6950 for me.
Now I may have to wait.
Although unlocking the 6950 into a 6970 is still oh so appealing!
Wikipedia already has something similar down as the GeForce GTX 560 Ti OEM. It has the same basic die as the 570 albeit with 11 SMs (352 shaders/44 TMUs) and 40 ROPs as well as the same clocks and memory interface as the 570, and a TDP of 210W. So, this particular product has less texturing power than the 560 Ti (in fact, so does the 570 and 580) but a much larger memory interface.
Upgrading a tier 2 card is not impressive. Sure I use a 560 but I bought it a year and a half ago......
Good, i've been waiting and trying to make a decision on a new graphics card. Now i know which one i will be getting
a new gtx 560 ti upgrade vs amd's 28 nm radeon hd 7xxx cards... i choose radeon even if they're unreleased.
And what happens if some poor sap who got a first-gen 560Ti wants to get a second for SLI purposes? Two distinct models aren't going to work together in an SLI configuration, are they?
Why not just lower the price of the 570. The new ti will approach the price of the 570 so whould buy a 570 after the new ti comes out?

I have one too, and, with the release of this new 560Ti, the old one's prices might drop, which means SLI for me, finally.

I think the question will be.. who will buy a 560ti OEM since its so damn close in price to the more powerful (if only by a small amount) gtx 570?

So they can completely stop the G114 fab process and build only GF 110 and more products on one fabrication process. Which makes it cheaper to produce.
Same name it will be called 560 Ti 448core like the 260gtx 216core and this 560 can do 3way sli like the 570gtx
I think that this could be a move to counter the upcoming Radeon 7xxx series (at least the mainstream ones), since it is being rumored that nVidia's own 28nm GPUs will be delayed.
cool !
hmmm - should be good but it aint getting any cooler per revision..
i agree rohitbaran... 7xxx series will be out before christmas..nvidia has nothiing out so might as well push some thing out....nvidia should've dropped some prices...

Yeah... no you didn't.
C'mon nVidia, enough retrofitting old chips, bring on the Kepler!
Is this a new rebrading ? I don`t see the point of it.
rumor has it tsmc(amd and nvidia's gpu manufacturer) is having trouble with nvidia's 28 nm 6xx series gpu's production. meanwhile tsmc reported that radeon hd 7xxx cards have gone into volume production.
nvidia's declaration of a new gtx 560 might be to compete with the new radeon cards. a new card is good news....still, price reductions across the lineup would have been much better imo.
im planning to get gtx 570 fermi OC tmr.. shall i wait then?
I got my gtx560ti when it was released back in I think march...
And it's already oh so outdated and wouldn't play many game smoothly maxed 1080p.
DAMN YOU GPU MANUFACTURERS!

That was possible several months ago. Not so much anymore. Depends on which one you buy.
I honestly cannot see any reason that they should come out this chip, because the performance between a 560Ti vs 570 is pretty close enough. IN fact quite a number of pre-overclocked 560Ti could come almost as fast as 570.
Might as well buy a highly overclocked 560Ti.
The only explanation would be, after so many months of manufacturing large low yield GF110, they got enough broken GF110 chips that couldnt meet 570 Spec. So instead of wasting it completely they gonna milk it and sell it to consumer, Same case for GTX460 SE.
Looks like anyone who bought this chip is gonna get scam like GTX465. High power consumption, medicore performance

Interesting, how can one buy a card a year and a half ago that hasn't even been out for a full year yet.
It may be a good card but price and TDP is too close to the 570. I'll prefer more powerful 570 or amd 6970 over this 560ti.

And then when its released, the next card expected to fall in that price range will be announced and you will decide to wait for that one. Then one day you wake up, your 10 years older and you finally realize that you will never win!

I really early preorder?
Isn't that just a GTX470 at lower power?
The good thing about the current 560 ti's is that you can overclock them like crazy, tbh, my 560 ti is outperforming a 570 on air right now.
