NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 560 Ti: Upsetting The $250 Market
by Ryan Smith on January 25, 2011 9:00 AM ESTBattleForge
Up next is BattleForge, Electronic Arts’ free to play online RTS. As far as RTSes go this game can be quite demanding, and this is without the game’s DX11 features.
With BattleForge we see the beginning of the same win-some/lose-some results that we saw with the Radeon HD 6900 series versus the GTX 500 series. For as well as the 6900 series did at Crysis, the tables are turned here with BattleForge with the GTX 560 taking a 10-15% lead over the 6950 1GB; even the 6970 itself here falls by at least a frame or two per second. Traditionally NVIDIA does very well in this game, and here it shows to the GTX 560’s benefit.
Meanwhile compared to the GTX 470 we’re looking at a dead heat, and against the GTX 460 1GB the advantage is now to 33% in the GTX 560’s favor.

Page one, first chart, the 560 Ti is "$149" instead of "$249".Although, I kinda prefer the former.

pg. 16 - Series Load Voltage chart has wrong title.7Enigma - Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - link
what's crazy is that when I posted and refreshed the page I was the only comment. It wasn't until page 3-4 of this review (as I was reading after the comment post) that I noticed yours was there so there is some lag between when a post is made and when others see it (even though you see it right away). I wish we had a time stamp feature on the post! :)maniac5999 - Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - link
So the GTX 560 Ti has a 4004mhz DATE rate? Wow, it sure gets around. (chart on P1) ;-)
