Palit GeForce GTX 560 Ti Sonic review - Introduction

Hey there ! In the reference review you guys learned that NVIDIA has nothing to be ashamed about when it comes to the baseline performance of the GTX 560 Ti, the overclock potential however was really impressive. And AIB/AIC partners realized that very much, you'll spot products clocked at core frequencies of 850, 900, 950 MHz and some of them will even brute force attack that upper threshold higher.

Palit submitted their GeForce GTX 560 Ti Sonic, a product that comes with a nice factory overclock and a rather silent cooler.

It comes factory clocked at 900 MHz on the primary GPU core and 4200 MHz on the memory at default. Anyways, back to the reference GeForce GTX 560 Ti itself, aimed against the Radeon HD 6800 series, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is based on a new GPU refresh, the GF114 silicon which features 384 shader processors, a 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface.

All factors combined deliver a product onto the market that is quite interesting performance and features wise, a product that is noiseless and has a power consumption level we can all life with.

But hey now, have a quick peek at the Palit model and then let's head onwards into the review.
