GeForce GTX 560 Ti Hawk Edition Review

GeForce GTX 560 Ti Hawk Edition is one of the many special editions of GeForce GTX 560 Ti.
The new features include increased memory and core clocks, from 1002MHz to 1050MHz and from 822MHz to 950MHz, respectively. The performance boost is, therefore, quite significant.
The performance is around 10% better than the standard edition, making it a very solid card.

I have an XFX ProSeries 550W PSU will it be enough to power up this bad boy with no trouble, I am upgrading from a GTS450 SC 1G as I checked that the Ti-HAWK is pretty awesome.

I had this GPU and it was the bomb. MSI done awesome work with this and
I could run BF3 @ ultra a bit more smoother than 570 user.
even though 660ti came out, it came out with 192bit memory bus LOL and 560ti is still the best with Perform v Price and I'd love to have this babe back :)

Amazing GPU, can run on very high temperatures(100C with no problems).
Performance in games is perfect, averages 60-100FPS in modern dx11 games on 1600x1050 res. (about 40-60FPS at 1080p) this is with most in-game settings on high-ultra, 4x AA. (BF3, CRYSIS 1 and 2, Skyrim, DA2)
Basically at 1600x1050 res, the FPS wont ever drop below 60.
Only bad thing is that the fans can get quite noisy if its set on automatic.

One of the Best GTX 560 ti ever made......
The HAWK edition gives Awesome performance, gives good fight with Gtx 570,Hd 6950,HD 6970 and also the new HD 7850.
Standard 3d MARK score=4800 and after overclocking the GPU at 1ghz or more the score is fantastic.....which is about 5760-5900.<br
