Nvidia launches new GTX 560 graphic card, now without the “Ti”

Nvidia’s Tegra 2 has been quite the popular boy around the Android marketplace as the dual-core boy to go for. However, Nvidia hasn’t really abandoned their core business, which is desktop GPU.

When Nvidia launched their new GTX 560 Ti graphic card, it was considered a top-notch successor to the aging GTX 460 which was highly regarded. However, between the GTX 560 Ti and the GTX 550, there’s quite a small gap in between. That makes us wonder why Nvidia placed a ‘Ti’ suffix there, and now the question has been answered. There will be a ‘Ti’ edition and ‘non-Ti’ edition.

Because the GTX 560 Ti serve the $250 and above segment, and at times are priced nearly $300, the GTX 560 is slide into the $200 gap to have a fight with AMD’s Radeon HD 6850 with its 336 CUDA cores. The thing is that graphic card manufacturers are keen on releasing cards with dual-slot coolers. I actually prefer if they can develop single-slot cards.
