^ that site doesn't look 100% legit..i dont know

I think I'm either going with the 570 or whenever the 6870 replacement comes..
just go with the MSI..unless you are looking at EVGA.

edit: MSI has mini-HDMI and no display port...I'll be looking for something with DP

If you don't care about noise the Msi is perfect
The Asus card runs a lot of quieter

That's what I collected before I made my choice of video card couple months back before I settled down for an Asus 6950 (same cooler different card)
But the Msi cyclone cooler is known to be loud

Bet you it's console graphics not being able to keep up. I have the same thing happening to me with HAWX2

I have the ASUS 560Ti Direct CUII, it is very quiet! My friend has the MSI Twin Frozr, he's had to RMA his already, and the cooler is not as quiet IMO.

It actually took a while to sell out. I bought mine the first day thinking it would sell out that night- but was tempted the days after whether to add a second for SLI :P


It's actually very quiet for a single-fan 560Ti. My case fans (120mm Antecs on High) are louder even at load. It barely fit in my P180 though.

If you guys want a good non-ref 560Ti...

ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II Fermi 830MHZ 1GB 4.0GHZ GDDR5 2XDVI Mini HDMI PCI-E Video Card - DirectCanada

Cheap for the card, go to Memory Express and pricematch.

I'll be grabbing another one to go SLI with.

it sounds like he already has one, which would be the sensible time to use SLI.

but yes you're correct- it's almost always best to get a more powerful single card (unless you can afford 2 top cards in tandem)

If you still don't have it Preordered and you plan on getting it for PC. You can get a free copy of DeadSpace 2 if you preorder through origin.

For those of you still looking for a video card:

Gigabyte GTX 560Ti - 159.99 After $20 MIR (Only for today 9-16-2011).


Looks like a beefy HSF too, but at 9.5" you'd have to check your cases.

That's not a Ti... regular 560 - which is still a decent card.

Here's the TI version: Gigabyte 560 Ti
