In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 Palit Super JetStream 2GB Edition are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition.
The GTX 960 has a 379 MHz higher core clock speed and the same number of Texture Mapping Units as the GTX 560 Ti. This results in the GTX 960 providing 24.3 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 960 has a 379 MHz higher core clock speed than the GTX 560 Ti and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GTX 960 providing 12.1 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 960 was released over three years more recently than the GTX 560 Ti, and so the GTX 960 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the GTX 560 Ti when running the latest games.
The GTX 960 has 1024 MB more video memory than the GTX 560 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 960 also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 560 Ti has 12.8 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 960, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 560 Ti is slightly better than the GTX 960.
The GeForce GTX 960 Palit Super JetStream 2GB Edition has 1024 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 960 is 1855 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 560 Ti is 691. The GTX 960 having 1164 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 960 delivers a significantly smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 560 Ti.
The GTX 960 transistor size technology is 12 nm (nanometers) smaller than the GTX 560 Ti. This means that the GTX 960 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the GTX 560 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 960 Palit Super JetStream 2GB Edition requires 120 Watts to run but there is no entry for the GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the GTX 960.

Mini Review | Overview GeForce GTX 960 Palit Super JetStream 2GB Edition is a special edition of NVIDIA's Performance GeForce GTX 960 2GB, created by Palit. Overclock: Central Unit The Central Unit now runs at 1279MHz, instead of 1127MHz and goes up to 1342MHz, in Turbo Mode. Overclock: Memory Clock The Operating Memory Clock is now of 1800MHz while the Frame Buffer remain the same. Cooling Solution The reference NVIDIA Single-Fan Cooling System has been replaced by Palit's JetStream Cooling Solution, meaning the Graphics Card runs cooler under load. Performance Benchmarks indicate a 7% performance over the reference GeForce GTX 960 2GB. | GeForce GTX 560 Ti Gigabyte OC 1GB Edition is one of the many special editions of GeForce GTX 560 Ti. The new features include a new cooling system and an increase in the core-clock from 822MHz to 900MHz. Benchmarks indicate the performance is around 5% better than the standard edition. |
