In just a few days from now, Nvidia is expected to release a new performance oriented graphics core, dubbed the GTX 560 Ti 448 Core, and EVGA plans to use this GPU in an upcoming Classified model which was just revealed by a series of leaked pictures.
EVGA’s new creation will make use of the same cooling solution as that installed by the company in a series of previous DS models, which relies on two large diameter fans for dissipating the heat produced by the card while running.
In addition to providing better cooling, this setup also allowed EVGA to raise the clocks of its Classified model over those recommended by Nvidia for the GTX 560 Ti Cores.
As a result, the GPU now runs at 797MHz, as Hardcore Hardware reveals, while the GDDR5 memory will work at the same 950MHz (3800MHz data rate) frequency as in Nvidia’s stock design.
The GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores is based on the same GF110 GPU as that used in the powerful GTX 580 and GTX 570, but has two of its 16 streaming modules disabled.
This leaves the GPU with 448 CUDA cores, hence its name, 56 texture units, 40 ROP units and a 320-bit memory bus connected to 1.25GB of video buffer, just as is the case with the GeForce GTX 570.
The close specs of the two cards, also means that they feature similar performance, a graph detailing the speed of the GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores in Battlefield 3, which was published by Nvidia a short while ago, revealing that the GTX 560 Ti 448 Core should be almost as fast as the GTX 570.
From the information that is available until now, the GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores will make its debut on November 29, with a recommended retail price of $289 (about 218 EUR). EVGA’s Classified model is expected to surpass this MSRP.
