This one is faster then the Gigabyte version. The memory is at 4800 vs 4580 for the Gigabyte version. I've noticed these cards love memory speed when overclocked.

The 560 needs the bandwidth, scaling isn't as impressive going from 820 mhz to 1000 mhz vs. the gtx460 going from 675 to 825ish (same percentage increase) when memory speeds are untouched. All the same, with 1000mhz cards virtually indistinguishable in benchmarks from the gtx570, the value proposition is through the roof.

Are the gtx560's the first 1000mhz core cards (at factory settings) ever released?

Nice sparkle realized you need a shit ton of copper to get that core clock :D. Wonder what voltage they're using for those speeds :hmm:.

I imagine these cards will be binned very well for the very best overclocks.

Castiel.....are you ever going to decide ? Based on this thread http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2138642&highlight= you asked for what people thought you should go with. 6950 Tri Fire is winning in "your" poll. But yet you ignored it. The only posts in the 3 pages from you in that thread that has to do with AMD is Post #1 and Post #50. Just buy a NV card and call it a day.

6950 Tri Fire / GTX560 SLI / GTX580 SLI and now GTX 595 ?

Make up your mind already.

So the man is undecided, thats no reason to jump on him.
I wish I had the dough to have all those decisions :)
Go have a drink and relax buddy. :)

I thought it was already said that it would be a GTX590 instead of a GTX595 ?
If you want all of those, and buy those, hope you got several PC's.

Over at the EVGA forums some new info has come out.

EVGA will produce the 590 which will have 2GB total memory and be a pair of GF114's.

Nvidia will produce the 595 which will have 3GB total memory and have a pair of GF110's

Just today i was trying to make myself pull the trigger on an EVGA GTX 580 and a AquagraFX Block but couldn't click the checkout button :(

Does all that copper effect temps at all?

probably not for the shroud, but it looks neat :)
People like shinny things.

The sparkle one looks like it has extra big fans on it compaired to the others, that undoubtly though will probably make a big differnce in temps.
