Date added: 05/30/2011 Hexus - Three-way GeForce GTX 560 shootout - Gigabyte vs. ASUS vs. MSI

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 560 GPU has opened up an avenue whereby add-in card partners have constructed genuinely custom boards. Retailing from £145, partners choose just how much to invest in this mid-range GPU. We've already taken a look at the ASUS TOP and MSI Twin Frozr II/OC, so now it's the turn of Gigabyte to show what can be done with the GeForce GTX 560 GPU.

Like the others, Gigabyte has multiple offerings on the GTX 560. The standard 'OC' model chimes in with an 830MHz core and memory running at 4,008MHz, and it's currently priced at a hair over £150.

Looking identical on the outside is the faster SO variant (GV-N56GS0-1G1), this time specified with a 900MHz core, though the memory remains at 4,008MHz. Given what other partners have put forward, the SO, priced at £180, can be considered an average pre-overclocked GTX 560.
