MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 core OC Power review - Product Showcase 

Product Showcase 

Alright, let's have a peek at the MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 core OC Power Edition, quite a mouthful naming wise.

Above, the packaging bundle. All essentials are included. Below, you can see the card. The 750MHz clocked card has 1.28 GB 320-bit GDDR5 memory tied to the GPU. This memory is clocked at an effective data-rate of 4000 MHz, that's just over the reference clock frequency.

The design is stylish and good looking alright, we like that. It features a black PCB, which is roughly 11.5-inches (29cm) in length. This card will eat up two PCI slots. Sitting on top of the GPU is the heatpipe based TwinFrozr III cooler which on top of that has two fans blowing air towards that heatpipe based cooler with multiple thick pipes.

Power consumption wise we measured only 170 Watts to feed the GPU when peaking, add some overhead for overclocking and the rest of your PC and we feel that a 550 Watt power supply should be your bare minimum.
