Pros: Stays Cool under load, Overclocks easily, Quiet; well, quieter than the gtx 285 its replacing. Plays everything I throw at it so far smoothly, I havn't tested out all the games most players are insane about these days, however, all the games I have thrown at it play at max settings (except Antialiasing set to 4x) at a steady 60 frames per second (give or take 5 frames) flawlessly at 1920x1080 resolution. Games played: Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Portal 2, Fallout 3, Dragon Age (Mage with all kinds of sustained effects running), Dragon Age 2. I'll test out Battlefield Bad Company 2, Crysis, Crysis 2 and the Call of duty's later, but so far this is a budget gamer's dream come true.

Cons: None that I can tell so far. I havn't pushed the fan all the way up to max so I cant say how decent or bad that is. I could complain about price, but why? It plays everything out there right now, smoothly, and costs at least $150 cheaper than the GTX 580. You're getting what you pay for, and in this case, it seems like you get the better end of the deal. The size is also good for medium sized cases. I do not have multiple monitors to test out how well this runs in a multi-display setup. I also don't have sli to give a sli review. but if you're going that route, you're not exactly a "budget" gamer anyway, so I'll leave that to the pros. Biggest "con" I have right now is not having enough time or money to be one of the pro's or test out all the games I want. Oh well, in time, soon enough.

Overall Review: I wrote this review the way I did because most reviews for critical components on this site doesn't say what most people need to know "if they're new" to this, especially if they don't understand acronyms like OC, L33t, AA, AF, etc. I certainly wont claim to have the best review out there, but I'm going to make this as easy as I can for beginners. That said, I have OC'd (overclocked) this card to match what the "superclocked" version runs at which is: Core clock: 900 Shader clock: 1800 Memory clock: 2106 and manually set the fan speed to 50% all of this is done in the Evga Precision program that comes with the graphic card. now keep in mind that this Overclock classifies as weak to most players. but it works more than well enough for me. and the temp hasn't gone over 62 degrees C. If you want to build a awesome "budget" system, then this card would be one of the best to go with.

Pros: I got this card a few weeks ago to replace my 260 GTX and boy is it an upgrade! I usually would have to run most games on medium-ish/high with 1280x1024. Now I'm running everything as high as I can. -Just Cause 2: 260 GTX : 54 FPS on Desert Sunrise w/ 1280x1024 and mediumish high settings, no AA. 560 Ti : 74 FPS on Desert Sunrise 1600x1200 2x AA, GPU simulated water, very high settings. -Metro 2033 : 260: 30-50 FPS medium settings DX9 1280x1024, AFx4 560: 40-60 FPS very high settings DX11 1600x1200, AFx16 -Bad Company 2 (w/ latest patch) : 260: 30-40 FPS Maximum settings DX9 560: 40-60 FPS Maximum settings DX9 -No problems POST'ing -No problems at all -Good size -Runs cool... 30C idle and 68C with a full load ( with the fan at 30% ) as compared to my 260 which would sometimes go up to 90C full load and 50C idle.

Cons: -Won't be able to max out Battlefield 3 with a stable framerate. Get three of these in SLI and it probably will... but at that point you might as well get a 580 or two 580s.

Overall Review: My specs : EVGA nForce 780i Mobo Intel Core 2 Duo OC'd @ 3.8ghz DDR2 4GB RAM 560 Ti 500GB HDD -There has been a lot of negative feedback on Newegg's packaging techniques with paper instead of peanuts but the way they packaged my product with paper was very professional. No physical damage to the product or box. In a way I believe this method of packaging is superior to packing peanuts.

Pros: Other thoughts has the computer specs: Skyrim between 50 to 60 FPS(unmodded) on Ultra High. Deus Ex: Human Revolution at 60fps with vsync on. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm runs on Ultra during a 25-man raid between 40 to 50 FPS. Minecraft runs between 100 to 180 fps depending on how many creepers are on the screen. League of Legends does not drop below 80 fps during the messiest 5v5 fights in the jungle. Hopefully that gives everyone a field of reference.

Cons: I will update if there are any.

Overall Review: This GTX 560 TI is teamed up with an i5 2550k processor running at 3.4ghz, overclocked to 4.4ghz(44, 1.25v) and 8gb of Corsair Vengence 1600 DDR3 ram. The games listed are installed on a 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s HDD.

Pros: This card is incredible. I used to have the Nvidia Geforce 7900gs which is a very old video card but surprisingly it still got me by, could play starcraft 2 on low settings smoothly for example. But once I got a new computer I knew it was time for an upgrade. I had my eyes set on the GTX 460 for months leading up to this purchace knowing how great a card it was. But then I did even more research and found out the GTX 470 was considerably more powerful then the 460 so I decided I would buy that. But then on literally THE DAY I was going to buy my 470 and was ABOUT to order it I found out about this card! WOW! I am glad I did! This card although similar to the 470 has slightly better performance. It has better overclocking capabilities, it uses less power, its physically smaller, it runs cooler, and its quieter! Its basically a much better card overall then the GTX 470.

Cons: The only con I have is that the fan speed is VERY VERY LOUD at 100%. I guess this is understandable considering 100% fan speed is over 5000 RPM. I run the fan speed at 30% when I'm not gaming and its virtually silent and still stays around 36 degrees celcius. I use 60% for gaming and although it's audible its not bad at all and still keeps the card easily cool enough even when at 100% load. I have the Cooler Master HAF 912 case to which has many holes for very high air flow but probably makes it a little louder since its not as contained Still not bad at 60% and below.

Overall Review: So far I have tried out Starcraft 2, Civilization 5, Fallout 3, Dead Space 2, and they all run on the max settings flawlessly. I am only using an AMD Phenom II x4 Processor at 2.8 GHZ and its recommended settings for Crysis was High instead of Very High. High still looks amazing and it runs perfect. I am going to soon try to overclock my CPU to 3.4 GHZ and mess around with Very High Crysis settings for the hell of it. EVGA precision Overclocking utility works perfectly with this card and is very easy to change all your speeds. Right now I have this card overclocked to the settings of the EVGA superclocked version of this card no problem. I am sure I could go higher but have no reason to yet.

Pros: The card does everything you would expect a card of its generation and its upper mid-grade status. It is quiet, and I have experienced no stability issues. I would give 5 eggs except the first card just like this one I ordered was a brick. That said when I was investigating the problem I called EVGA support and was almost (about 3 min) immediately connected with someone who knew what they were talking about and walked me through the process to determine the video card was a dud and that I should return it. Also this tech guy was either from the U.S. or Canada, and that says something.

Cons: The first card was a dud, but the replacement one works great.

Overall Review: I am glad this card is not 15 inches long, or whatever the max is these days. Before I replaced my old card, it was way too long and it crowded my case. This new EVGA card is what at least seems an appropriate size.

Pros: If you don't want to fork out big money, but you want an excellent card, this is your happy middle. If money isn't a concern, go for the 670 or 680. If you're like most of us and want bang for you buck, this is it. Card comes with everything you need. The -AR at the end of the model number means it has the lifetime limited warranty. Plays Skyrim with lots of mods on Ultra, Fallout New Vegas on Ultra, Deus Ex: Human Revolution on top settings all without issue. Haven't tried out Diablo 3 but I bet it will be fine. Quiet.

Cons: Runs somewhat warm, but within reason. RMA'ed my first card because I thought there was a 'ticking' sound coming from the card, turned out to be a case fan that decided to start making noise the same day I installed the new card.. What are the odds?

Overall Review: When I RMA'ed the card through EVGA I opted for cross shipping. They told me I'd have to pay to return my first one, but the new one came with a pre-paid shipping label anyway. Customer support was fantastic, RMA was quick. I've been a diehard ASUS fan for many years. Only tried out EVGA on a friends recommendation and so far they have been fantastic. Make sure you get the card for around $200 between rebates and sales. Buy this card if you are on a budget but want value, and buy it from EVGA. 100% recommend. My new system: Corsair Carbide Series 300R Black Steel ASUS P8H77-V LGA 1155 Intel H77 G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 Intel Core i5-3550 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 Seagate 1TB HD

Pros: Had 2 GTX550 Ti cards in SLI overclocked to 1Ghz and ran the Heaven DX11 Benchmark and got an average of 54FPS. Ordered 2 of these GTX560 Ti cards in SLI, overclocked them to 900MHz and ran the same benchmark getting 94FPS average. Hell just one of these cards got the same frames as the 2 GTX550s i had. These cards are just insane and can run any game i throw at them. Batman Arkham City on EXTREME DX11 setting at a nice 50 - 60FPS. Skyrim at full tilt is nothing for these cards. I am just amazed at the performance of these cards and i HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a great video card to buy one.

Cons: NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall Review: System Specs: Corsair 500R Carbide Case (White) EVGA X58 SLI Motherboard i7 950 @ 3.06Ghz 12GB DDR3 1600 Corsair XMS3 Ram 2 GTX560s SLI @ 900Mhz Antec Khuler h2o 620 water cooler Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Pro 120GB SSD Corsair Force 3 640Gb WD Black 2TB Seagate

Pros: Not a bad price, easy, fast. Personally love EVGA for graphic cards, never had any issues. nothing is worse than poor driver support or hardware and 0 support. Grabbed 2, have them in sli running 2 monitors. I can play BF3 on ultra, and stream, trade stocks, music, ect off the same computer and that on windows 7ult(64bit).

Cons: none

Overall Review: I did have one problem, be aware that these cards only will run up to 2 monitors even in sli. i was hoping to run 3 24in monitors, but thats my own fault not evga. still an excellent card and especially for the price.
