Gigabyte and Sparkle are launching their new GTX 560 Ti overclocked versions, with no less than 1 GHz clock frequency for the core. The names are GTX 560 Ti SOC from Gigabyte and the GTX 560 Ti Calibre form Sparkle.


The GTX 560 Ti SOC comes with 1'000 MHz clock speed on the core, 2'000 MHz for the shaders and finally 4'580 MHz for the memory. Remember, the reference frequencies for the GTX 560 Ti with nVidia specs are: 822/1'645/4'000MHz for core/shader/memory.

Regarding the GTX 560 Ti Calibre it has the same core/shader frequencies as the SOC form Gigabyte, but with 4'800 MHz on the memory.

This means that these card are the fastest on the market regarding the frequencies. It's the first time that a card with a core frequency of 1'000 MHz comes into the market
