What may very well be the last graphics card in the Geforce 500 series will appear at the end of the month. On November 29, the Geforce GTX 560 Ti with 448 CUDA cores will be launched. Contrary to what the name suggests, however, this is not a model based on GF114. Instead, Nvidia uses a scaled-down version of the GF110, the same graphics processor as in the GTX 570 and 580.

The new graphics card is very similar to its predecessor Geforce GTX 470 with 448 computing units, 320-bit memory bus and 1,280 MB of memory. The clock frequencies amount to 730 MHz GPU and 3,800 MHz GDDR5. The specifications also show that the TDP value ends up at 210 W, only 9 W lower than the GTX 570.
Nvidia partially avoids the risk of name confusion by naming the new model the Geforce GTX 560 Ti 448. At the same time, partner manufacturers have the opportunity to mark the differences in the naming themselves. The price is estimated to land at around SEK 2,500 including VAT, midway between today’s GTX 560 Ti and GTX 570.
