NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Coming Q1 2011 – Competes With Radeon HD 6950
Rumor has it that the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 video card will be the company’s answer to AMD’s recently released Radeon HD 6950 video card. The GeForce GTX 560 is said to have 384 stream processors, 32 ROPs and a 256-bit memory interface, along with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. The core GPU clock is said to be set at 820MHz, with the stream processors running at 1,640MHz and the GDDR5 memory set at 1GHz (4GHz effective).
According to the grapevine, the chip is based on the same GF104 chip used in its predecessor, the GeForce GTX 460, but using the full allocation of 384 stream processors, rather than the 336 found in the GTX 460. The clock speeds also represent a significant boost over its predecessor, and could help the GPU hit the performance levels it needs to seriously compete with the Radeon HD 6950.
