EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win review - Product Showcase

Alright, let's have a peek at the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win model in specific, quite a mouthful naming wise. Above, you can see the card we tested with its bundle. As we just explained 822 MHz is the default reference clock frequency used on the core, this card clocks in at 850 MHz on both GPUs. Based on a 2:1 ratio the shader processor are clocked double of that, 1700 MHz.

The card has 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 memory per GPU, meaning you get a total of 2048MB as frame buffer, but really ... one GB is used effectively for your rendering experience. This memory is clocked at an effective data-rate of 4008 MHz, that's the reference clock frequency.

The design is stylish and good looking alright, we like that. Black PCB, which is roughly 11.5-inches (29cm) in length. This card will eat up two PCI slots. Sitting on top of the two GPUs is the heatpipe based cooler which on top of that has three fans blowing air towards that heatpipe based cooler with multiple thick pipes. A quite sturdy but also unique design.

Power consumption wise we estimate a needed 340/350 Watt to feed both GPU's when peaking, add some overhead for overclocking and the rest of your PC and we feel that a 700 Watt power supply should be your bare minimum. Bare in mind that you need to connect two 8-pin PEG PCIe graphics  power connectors for this board. The power-connectors have been seated along the top side.

The PCIe slot can deliver roughly 75 Watt, the two 8-pin connectors are rated 150W each, so that's a good 375 Watt at your disposal for graphics.
