Testurteil: "4 out of 5 stars"
Test: Einzeltest: MSI GeForce GTX 560 Twin Frozr II/OC graphics card
Zitat: Recommended
Pros: + Twin Frozr II concept works well
+ Overclocks reasonably well
+ Relatively cheap for a pre-overclocked GTX 560
Cons: - Default frequencies not as high as competitions´
In an obvious and predictable move, MSI has thrown its weight behind NVIDIA´s nascent GeForce GTX 560 GPU by giving it the Twin Frozr II/OC makeover. This means it comes equipped with a tasty heatsink and reasonable out-of-the-box frequencies. Able to run comfortably past the 870MHz core and 4,080MHz memory with a touch of overclocking, the Twin Frozr II makes sense if it´s readily available for £160, even in the face of increased competition from AMD via a price-hammered Radeon HD 5870. There´s little to choose between AMD and NVIDIA´s £150-plus GPUs these days, so folk who have a genuine interest in 3D Vision and PhysX would do well to put this GTX 560 on their shortlist. Bear in mind that pricing is hugely congested between £150-£200 and a tenner here or there does make a difference.
