Zotac's GTX 560 Ti graphics card is constructed on a black PCB that is really only visible from the back of the card. With an 822MHz core and 4000MHz memory clock, it falls into the lower end of available 560s. If you want something with a bit more horsepower, the 560 Ti OC offers a 905MHz core while the AMP! edition ramps things all the way up to 950MHz. Using MSI's Afterburner overclocking software, I was able to find a stable setting of 890Hz, good for nearly 70MHz extra.
Benchmark testing revealed an average of 3-4 FPS increase in games when overclocked. It's not much, but it's free so there's really no sense in not taking advantage of it. Overall the card was able to handle everything we threw at it. The newest game in our somewhat dated list is Crysis 2 and on Ultra graphics settings at 4x AA, the game was completely playable at nearly 40 FPS.
Zotac has a really nice mainstream graphics card on their hands with the 560 Ti that we looked at here today. While it's not the fastest or latest generation card on the block, the price is reflective of that while still offering non-hardcore gamers a great product that's capable of playing some of the latest titles with lots of eye candy.
