Benchmark Reviews, Futurelooks, and ThinkComputers have reviewed two GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics cards from MSI and Zotac.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Benchmark Reviews: MSI N560GTX Ti Hawk Edition Video Card Review:

    "I am overall very impressed with the performance of the MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk, in most tests it was able to better a stock HD6950 and an overclocked HD6950 where a stock NVIDIA GTX 560Ti would not be able to. MSI really know how to build a great video card and our results have proved this today, this card is certainly worthy of the HAWK moniker and my only hope is that further experimentation will yield better overclocking results."

  • Futurelooks: MSI N560GTX Ti Hawk Edition Video Card Review:

    "At the current MSRP of $264.99 from various retailers, the MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk Edition is lethal against the competition. It has the heart of a frame rate killer and it includes a Lara Craft game title to add some value. There are quite a few GTX 560 Ti cards with special aftermarket cooling that come very close to this price and yet they have much lower out of box frequencies. That makes the Hawk all the more enticing.

    Ultimately, the MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk is worth every dollar. Both the Twin Frozr II and Hawk make it very hard for other solutions to measure up. Based on the great value, exceptional performance, and great aftermarket cooling solution, we believe that it deserves out highest honor: An Editors’ Choice award."

  • ThinkComputers: Zotac GeForce GTX 560 Ti AMP! Edition Video Card Review:

    "At one time Zotac was the only manufacturer offering a GeForce GTX 560 Ti overclocked up to 950 MHz, most others were 850 and 900 MHz overclocks. Now 2 other manufacturers offer this card at the 950 Mhz overclock. The only real difference you are going to see between the 3 cards is the cooler and shroud designs. I like the design of the Zotac’s shroud (I can’t argue with black and yellow, I’m from Pittsburgh!) and the fan is pretty quiet during operation, even while gaming."

If you can't find GIGABYTE's GTX 560 Ti Super Overclock in stock, then the MSI Hawk Edition model is a no-brainer purchase.
