ZOTAC ZT-50313-10M GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Handles any game i've thrown at it with max settings at 1080P. Bought this card the first week it came out, it has been meeting my expectations ever since. Unfortunately, it can't handle max settings with my new 2560x1440 monitor which is understandable. I've had no problems with this card at all.

Cons: Pricey but what card isn't these days

Other Thoughts: for casual gamers using a 1080p or less monitor this card is for them.

Pros: This is an update to my previous review. About three weeks ago my card started exhibiting symptoms of failure (half framerate, choppy performance, system randomly powering down and restarting). Upon further examination of the card, I found that the one set of capacitors and another component that weren't touching the heatsink had failed (mind you I had been overclocking the card at approximately a 17% overclock). I got in touch with ZOTAC and started an RMA explaining the failure and what I discovered on the PCB (corrosion damage on both sides). They not only accepted my RMA, but shipped me back a brand new card within a day of having received the package. Only thing I had to do was contact ZOTAC to find out what exactly they did, and I got THAT response within a few hours. ZOTAC is really on top of their game, and even though this card failed I don't take back anything I said about it... just gotta overclock it less lol.

Cons: Only con is that I had to ship it to Cali from Florida... travel for days... but that's to be expected.

Other Thoughts: I am thinking that if I had come back on the overclock a bit more that the card would have lasted, but with my temps remaining around 76 degrees at full load and never a hiccup in any games, the suddenness of the card failure blindsided me entirely. It was literally one second to the next, and nothing was any indication of what the failure was until I dropped the card back to factory clock speeds and FurMark showed that the card was throttling itself to about half clock speed intermittently. Voltages and TDP percentage were still the usual, just showed an abnormal fluctuation in GPU and Memory load in GPU-Z. All that being said: if you plan to push this card much past roughly a 10-11% increase in clock speeds, be prepared to have liquid cooling available to you with a full PCB water block (if such a beast exists for this rather unique card). I should think this applies to most cards, however.

Pros: Runs BF3 on Ultra while maintaining 50+ FPS. It is extremely hard to force a game into choppy graphics with this card. Very quiet.

Cons: Fans don't seem to be that strong but it still runs cool and means its not loud so not really a con

Other Thoughts: Comes with BF3 for FREE so you really cannot beat this deal. I'm just waiting for it to go on sale so I can see how amazing these will be in SLI.

Pros: Solid, cool, fast

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Paired with 2500K, powers BF3 without a sweat, ultra everything.....smooth (1080)

Pros: Stays very cool, havent noticed any lag spikes at all. Plays BF3 on ultimate at like 30-50FPS which is okay to me. Decent customer support

Cons: With the card, none really. Code didnt work, had to go through customer support on a friday, got the code today. Other than that im good.

Pros: Runs everything at max or near-max settings while keeping 60 fps, usually 100+
Looks pretty cool too.

Cons: This thing is huge.

Other Thoughts: Had a lot of trouble getting it to fit in the ATX case properly but I'm pretty sure that's the mobo not being made to the right specs.
Was worried that I would need SLi for my gaming rig, after getting this card, that would be absolute overkill.

Pros: This card is wonderfully fast and exactly what I was hoping for given the price point.

Cons: The BF3 code was invalid. Someone in the reviews here mentioned getting "Brian" on the phone that fixed him right up. I actually got the same person and can confirm that he is an amazing CS rep. After some quick proof of purchase I got a new code later the same night.

Pros: I can run BF3 with everything on ultra settings averaging at 50-60 fps sometimes I even get 70. It looks awesome! Temps are fine as far as I know. The fan is ultra quiet. FREE BF3 COUPON!!!

Cons: Can't create an interdimensional portal to another universe.

Other Thoughts: Intel Core i5-3570k
Zotac Geforce GTX 560ti-448 cores
Cooler Master Hafx
Biostar TZ77XE4 Motherboard
Cooler Master Silent Pro 850 watts
Corsair Vengance 8 GB 1600 Mhz
Corsair Force 60 GB SSD
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB HDD
Lite on DVD burner
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Pros: Coupled with my AMD FX-6200 it runs BF3 on ultra settings at an average of around 120FPS.
Quiet
BF3 Coupon (already had it for 360 but on PC it is so much better)

Cons: None thus far

Pros: It's cheap and you get what you pay for. Runs BF3 very well.

Cons: Non-reference design makes it near impossible to find a better cooling solution.

Other Thoughts: Spend the extra $20 on an EVGA MSI.
