Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

This card is an AMAZING bang for the buck. It's nVidia's 4th newest card with possible overclocking potential. It's fast, efficient and QUIET. It's not silent, but it's running 2 fans. I can run Battlefield 3 at Ultra with no issues at all; and I have a mediocre computer (it's not a gaming rig is all I'm saying).
You MUST have a 500W power supply. People make a huge deal about cheap ones being useless and say "this sucks; i got the blah blah blah instead" with a price gap of over £90 in most cases. Get real, people. You clearly didn't buy a £30 PSU just to spent £90 on a new one. I bought a 750W CiT PSU for this which is SILENT and provides enough power to power this, regardless of what trolling computer "genius'" think. You can get these for around £30 if you don't have a current 500W or higher PSU. WARNING: a 500W PSU will allow the card to run well, but not at it's best.
The change this card will give you're computer is worth the money. Just please be aware of the few cons.
Pros:
Looks amazing (not really a factor)
Very fast and efficient
DX11 compatible
Easily installed
Boasts Asus cooling technology and further overlocking potential
Supports DVI, VGA and mini-HDMI; adapters provided to use them too.
Provides 2 4-pin molex connectors incase your power supply is lacking 2 PCI-E 6 pin adapters.
Cons:
Size. It's a heavy beast, but it doesn't do any damage to your PCI slot.
Takes up TWO expansion slots due to a vent.
Requires a PSU wattage that isn't commonly supported by stock computers. Many people will need to upgrade.
The card has been rated 5 stars for it's performance and price; as you can still install and power it for ~£200 - which is cheaper than most other cards that exclude the required PSU.
Hope this review isn't too long and is very helpful.

This card bulldozes any game out there. Been playing Skyrim on Ultra High settings (maximum everything) and it didn't once stutter, flowing at an average of 50fps (sometimes more). All other games such as Crysis Warhead and Portal 2 also perform just as well at the highest settings. Temperatures are great, barely ever getting above 50C. Idles at about 30, dependant on ambient temperature (but never idles above 35). Easy to fit, worked right out of the box. Just slotted it into the PCI-E slot and turned it on and installed the drivers. Well built, well packaged, well priced. It barely even gets noisy at full load. Can't ask for more than that. Asus wins again.
A few things worth mentioning:
- If your case uses PCI-E slot clips, you might not be able to use the clips due to the cooler being so big. This can easily be remedied by using a screw instead.
- The drivers on the disc work but occasionally mess up a little on 64bit systems (such as the theme changing when it goes to screensaver and the resolution changing). Download the latest drivers online to fix these for good (you should do this with any new component anyway...).
Installed card working on the following setup:
Asus M4A89GTD Pro (Socket AM3-940 pin) Motherboard.
AMD Athlon Pheonom II x6 core 3.3Hz 1100T (Black Edition) 9MB Cache.
4 x Kingston 4G DDR3-10600 1333 (240 pin) Memory, total 16G.
Western Digital Hard Drives x 2, Caviar Blue 1TB SATA III 6Gb/s, 32MB, 7,200 RPM.
Windowns 7 Pro 64 bit version.
Updated card and startup, no drivers installed but W7 stated it was looking to download them, it did and downloaded the correct drivers as 15/10/2011 v8.17.12.8562. Strangely these drivers seem more upto date than both the disk that came with the graphics card and those on the Asus website. I will investigate more here over the next few days.
Once W7 had downloaded the correct drivers, in just a few minutes, a reboot was needed to boot into the correct display. Everything worked perfectly upon reboot - now using a great card with plenty of power for whatever I through at it.
I am not a gamer but do edit a lot of HD Video etc and need a really fast graphics card. I will try and post an update after I have played with the card more.
Fist impressions are excellent.
I have posted a few more pictures of the packaging as the card is already shown on the site, it is very high quality and a shame to put the box in the roof after just 10 minutes of use. Still it will set off my resale of the item in 2 years time!!
Thanks Colin.
Footnote: Using the drivers provided in the disk pack you will get versions 23.03.2011 v8.17.12.6785.
Then updating via the driver update section you will get 20.05.2011 v8.17.12.7533
As previously mentioned using W7 update from the start you get 15.10.2011 v8/.17.12.862
My conclusion is just update from the original install situation, you will save loads of time and worry.
Hope this update helps. Thanks Colin.

Für diese Karte habe ich mich aus mehreren Gründen entschieden. Erstens, weil mein altes Motherboard auch von Asus ist (P5N-E Sli) und ich davon ausgegangen bin, dass dies Kompatibilitätsprobleme schon mal im Vorfeld minimiert, zweitens, weil Radeon 6k+ Karten wohl nicht mit dem Nvidia-Chipsatz von dem Board kompatibel sind und drittens, weil ich die leistungsstärkste Karte haben wollte, die von meinem altersschwachen System nicht oder nur minimal ausgebremst wird.
Gleich zum Wesentlichen: Ich hatte davor 2 Nvidia 8800er im Sli-Modus laufen, zuletzt nur noch eine, weil ich unter Win7 im Sli-Betrieb häufig Probleme hatte. Alte Karte entfernt, neue 560er rein, Rechner hochgefahren, Win7 erkannte Karte sofort, lud Treiber automatisch runter, 5 Minuten später konnte ich loslegen. Geräuschprobleme, wie hier des Öfteren beschrieben, konnte ich keine feststellen. Ich höre die Karte nicht! Wobei ich dazu sagen muss, dass ich bis auf Shogun II und Crysis nur Spiele gespielt habe, die so einer Karte nicht viel abverlangen. Ich gehe davon aus, dass die Geräuschproblematik bei den neueren Fabrikaten bereits behoben wurde. Die Klagen über den Geräuschpegel sind ja zumeist noch aus dem Frühjahr.
Zur Leistungsfähigkeit kann ich nur bedingt was sagen. Shogun II und Crysis konnte ich vorher jedenfalls nicht vernünftig spielen, jetzt mit der 560er Ti auf maximaler Detailstufe und das mit einer 4 Jahre alten Dual-Core 2 x 2,6 GHz CPU und 4Gb Ram - beeindruckend!
Die Ausstattung der Karte war sehr dünn und kaum erwähnenswert. Auch war dieses Paket noch nicht, wie vieler Orts zu lesen ist, mit Batman Arkham City gebundelt (Stand Anfang November 2011). Hier könnte etwas mehr gehen, aber einen Punktabzug rechtfertigt das für mich nicht. Verpackungsfetischisten werden aber begeistert sein - sehr aufwendig und schick...
Fazit: Ich wollte mir zu Weihnachten schon einen neuen Rechner kaufen und habe es zum Glück nicht getan. Mit der Karte halte ich es noch mal gut ein Jahr oder länger mit meiner alten Mähre aus. Neben der Leistung (die ich noch nicht zu 100% beurteilen kann, aber da sprechen die Benchmarks ja für sich), war für mich das entscheidende Kriterium, dass ich mit Einbau, Kompatibilität, Betrieb und Lautstärke der Karte keinen Ärger habe. Hier gibt es für mich nur Positives zu berichten. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Kleiner Nachtrag Mitte November: Habe am Wochenende ein paar topaktuelle, grafiklastige Titel gespielt -> die GraKa hat sie alle auf hohem Detailgrad in Full HD gemeistert und das, obwohl meine CPU wirklich schon nen Bart hat...
