Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2011 with a MSRP of $199. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF114) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 560 has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 128 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 560 includes 336 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 810 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 56 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 560 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 150 W.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2010 with a MSRP of $349. It is built on the Fermi 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GF110) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 570 has 1,280 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 950 MHz memory clock and a 320 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 152 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 570 includes 480 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 732 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 60 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 40 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 570 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 219 W.
