MSI N560GTX Ti Twin Frozer II review - Introduction

With the reference review out of the way it's time to check out the NVIDIA partner reviews of the GeForce GTX 560 Ti series. In this article we'll take the MSI GTX560 Ti Twin Frozer II edition for a test spin. In the reference review you guys learned that NVIDIA has nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to the baseline performance of the GTX 560 Ti, the overclocking potential however was also really impressive.

And AIB/AIC partners will realize that very much, so you'll spot products clocked at core frequencies of 900 MHz and some of them will even brute force attack that upper threshold higher.

The MSI GTX560 Ti Twin Frozer II tested today indeed comes all customized and factory overclocked, armed with some military grade components and a robust build the dark PCB of the MSI GTX560 Ti Twin Frozer II will carry a GPU clocked at 880 MHz and its memory at 4200 MHz, both thus a nice chunk faster than reference. To top things off, MSI put the Twin Frozr II cooler on this card and that admittedly does make wonders as we measure peak temperatures BELOW 55 Degrees C. As a result of that excellent cooling we can actually overclock this card (without voltage tweaking whatsoever) close to 1 GHz, and that my friends means true value.

Anyway, have a quick peek and then head onwards into the review ...
