Conclusion

General   + -
The ASUS GTX 560 Ti 448 is a yet powerful but still silent graphics card. Thanks to the huge DirectCUII cooler it stays cool and silent even under heavy load. But the good cooling capacity comes at a price. The DirectCUII cooler needs three slot and therefore block two additional slots.   - Performance
- Noise level
 
- Triple Slot cooler
       
Performance   + -
The performanc is what we expected. It's between the GTX 570 and GTX 560 Ti but very close to the GTX 570. Therefore it is possible to play games at high resolutions with activated anti aliasing as well as anisotropic filtering. There really isn't a lot to say.   - Gaming with high resolution and max detaillevel possible  
       
Overclocking   + -
Overclocking this card really is fun but unfortunately it stops quite quickly. Using ASUS TweakIt one can simply pull the regulator for GPU and memory clock to the maximum. In this case this results in 940 MHz GPU clock speed and 4'050 MHz on the memory. It is possible to run 3DMark 11 under these conditions but with Furmark it takes about two to three minutes and the system will freeze.    - 942 MHz GPU
- 4'050 MHz Memory
 
       
Recommendation   + -
If you should be looking for a graphics card that offers plenty of performance, a very good cooler and comes as a limited edition, this is an interesting card. Regarding the price it will cost about EUR 260.- (est. CHF 312.-) which is really close to the GTX 570. What makes this card most attractive is the fact that it is a limited edition. Otherwise it is quite an unspectacular product.   - Gaming-PC
