Features & Benefits GPU Temperature 5%~10% down Ultra Durable VGA board provides dramatic cooling effect on lowering both GPU and memory temperature by doubling the copper inner layer of PCB. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA can lower GPU temperature by 5% to 10%. Overclocking Capability 10%~30% Up Ultra Durable VGA board reduces voltage ripples in normal and transient state, thus effectively lowers noises and ensures higher overclocking capability. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA graphic accelerators improve overclocking capability by 10% to 30%. Power Switching Loss 10%~30% Down Ultra Durable VGA board allows more bandwidth for electron passage and reduces circuit impedance. The less circuit impedance, the more stable flow of current and can effectively improve power efficiency. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA can lower power switching loss by 10% to 30%.

I'm really satisfied with this product. I replaced a XFX hd6870 that was probably defective with this card. This card at 100% fan speed is quieter than the hd6870 at 40%. Performance are almost equal (the hd6870 has a small edge) but this GTX560 has a lot more room for overclocking (ymmv).

This card will deliver more than the price can let you believe.
Runs skyrim and high settings, some have said at maximum settings, I have not had a chance to test this yet but so far so good no complaints.

So far it been great, it only took me 15-30 minutes to get it working just by installing the drivers, if you have internet then you can install the latest driver within 15-20 minutes. Tested on 3D mark 06 and got good scores right off the bat and FPS where pretty good on a old AMD 64 x2 4000+ CPU. One of the best videos card you can get for it value. You can also overclock this card over 1 GHZ just by changing the core voltage in the gigabyte overclocking utility because if you use like MSI you can't change the core voltage because MSI core voltage unlock only works for MSI video cards. Overall it the best cards to get for it value and it very close to the ti version if not better in some cases.

I bought two of these a few weeks ago as an upgrade to my aging GTX260. I put these in SLI and am able to get consistent, 60+ fps in almost any game at 1680x1050 resolution. Battlefield 3 runs like a dream as well.
The cards are very quiet and even when the fans spin up during heavy gaming/computing, they can barely be heard.

It's definitely a solid card for its price point. Just for some reason I'm not sold on the look of it. Other then that has 2 huge fans, beefy heat pipes, and allows for a lot of airflow.
