The diagrams show the results of two GeForce GTX 560 Ti: one is the reference clocked at 822 MHz and the other is Gigabyte's extreme clocked at 1000 MHz. With the clock rate of 835 MHz, the product from KFA2 will perform just a bit faster than the reference card.

Conclusions
KFA2 GeForce GTX 560 EX OC 1024MB is a more or less regular GeForce GTX 560 Ti card, factory overclocking being minor. But the cooler is really nice nevertheless, and there's an HDMI cable included, too.
Gigabyte GV-N560SO-1GI is probably the fastest GeForce GTX 560 Ti of all we've seen so far. The cooler is simply excellent, it doesn't let the core temperature rise above 70°C, even considering the extreme factory overclocking. The performance, as you can see from the diagrams, allows the card to outdo any rival and counterpart.
We express gratitude to Gigabyte, KFA2 for the provided graphics cards. The PSU is provided by TAGAN, the monitor is provided by NVIDIA.
