Oh god, here we go again.
Fuck this.

So anyway guys about that 560 hey? quite a card, no?
Yes indeed. It performs almost as well as the GTX 480, and consumes much less power and emits less heat significantly.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;27732196]Yes indeed. It performs almost as well as the GTX 480, and consumes much less power and emits less heat significantly.[/QUOTE] Yet the chip offers no other noteworthy or significant features, because it's just a recycled 4xx Fermi chip. :haw:
It's not "recycled", they enhanced the original Fermi architecture quite a bit
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;27732711]It's not "recycled", they enhanced the original Fermi architecture quite a bit[/QUOTE] ...still, it's like every-other nvidia card series is just an "enhanced" rehash of the previous major release since the 8xxx/9xxx series. It's depressing, thinking we're getting a new chip with new features, when in reality we're just getting the same chip with power-saving features and a slight speed bump. :sigh:
No it isn't. If you want a clear example of what you called "just getting the same chip with power-saving features and a slight speed bump", it would be the 9800GTX, which is an overclocked 8800 GTS with near identical hardware. The 5XX and 4XX cards are nothing like that. For a start, the chips themselves are different, with noticeable architectural improvements. I suggest you to look up the benchmarks and compare them. The differences are quite noticeable.
Damn, first I thought of upgrading to this but then I realized there's too many games coming out this year so I'll just save 'til I can upgrade to SandyBridge and to a better GPU.... :|

I'll wait and see what the 6xx series has to offer later this year. :colbert: My new GTS 450 (+8800GTS for PhysX) is getting me by just fine so far.
If I was to get this to replace my GTX 275 how big would the improvement be?
[QUOTE=Zellezra;27732402]Yet the chip offers no other noteworthy or significant features, because it's just a recycled 4xx Fermi chip. :haw:[/QUOTE] What features do you mean? I mean, in the end no matter how awesome or high-tech a chip is, it all boils down to performance. They can bloat it up with shitloads of "features" but nothing beats pure, simple, computing price/performance, because that is all that pretty much matters about GPUs. And "slight" speed bump? What the fuck are you smoking? The GTX 560 Ti overclocked beating a fucking GTX 480 is amazing. If you call "the new series's mid-low end card beating previous series's fucking best card" shitty, then so be it.
[QUOTE=Makol;27750018]If I was to get this to replace my GTX 275 how big would the improvement be?[/QUOTE] I don't think it would be worth it, actually.
[QUOTE=Makol;27750018]If I was to get this to replace my GTX 275 how big would the improvement be?[/QUOTE] All you have to do is google GTX 275 benchmarks and GTX 560 benchmarks and compare. It's not that hard.
would this beat 9800gtx+ sli? I have that and i was wondering if it's worth it to wait until the 600 series or this card? my problem is, they don't have the same games tested, because the 9800gtx is that old.
The 9800GTX+ is a lightly modified and overclocked version of the 8800GTS or something similar. It can outperform two of them easily.

No it's not. The only card that was a rebrand was the 9800 GT and even then it really wasn't because it had a smaller die. The 9800 GTX+ was completely new architecture.

[QUOTE=Makol;27750018]If I was to get this to replace my GTX 275 how big would the improvement be?[/QUOTE] Lets see, 275 is a good as a 460. and the 560 would be just a little faster. So, I don't think it will be a big improvement. If you want major improvements, probably a 6950,6970 or a 570,580.

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;27766596]9800GTX+ isn't repackaged. 9800GT is the repackaged one. it's a smaller, cooler, and less power-consuming 8800GTS[/QUOTE] Maybe repackaging is not the right word to describe it, but it's definitely not a "new" card since it's just a die-shrunken 9800 GTX, which is a overclocked 8800 GTS and offers very little improvement in performance.

[quote=tomshardware]More specifically, it’s (GTS 250) the GeForce GTX 9800+, a die-shrunk version of the GeForce GTX 9800, which was already a slightly-overclocked re-introduction of the GeForce 8800 GTS.

I just came everywhere. Guess what I'm upgrading my GTX 260 to next christmas!
