NVIDIA Non-Ti GeForce GTX 560 To Ward Off HD 6790 Threat

Guru3D.com Image NVIDIA is readying a new SKU based on the GF114 GPU: the GeForce GTX 560, to counter act AMD's upcoming Radeon HD 6790, and probably higher SKUs in the HD 6800 series.

AMD will unveil its Radeon HD 6790 next week, which will compete with the GTX 550 Ti, and probably seat itself in the market somewhere between the GTX 550 Ti and GTX 560 Ti. It is this gap that NVIDIA is looking to fill, as TPU reports through Heise.

The GeForce GTX 560 is said to have 336 CUDA cores enabled (same configuration as the GF104-based GTX 460 1 GB), 56 TMUs, 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface holding 1 GB of memory. The thing that sets this SKU apart from the GTX 460 is going to be clock speed and overclocking potential, which is known to be higher on GF11x GPUs in general. Unlike HD 6790, there's no set launch date for the "non-Ti" GeForce GTX 560. Tentatively mid-April or early May.
