ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP Video Card Review

Test Setup & Benchmarking Procedure
We’re going to be running the ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II Top through a full range of tests.. As we have recently completely overhauled our GPU testing procedure, some tests may not have comparison data simply because those cards have not been tested under the new procedure. As time goes on, comparison results will become readily available.

This is the system we will be using to test the GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II Top.

As always we’re first going to verify our numbers and make sure we’re accurately reporting the performance specification of the card. Here’s a GPU-Z screenshot, listing all the information required.

Before we actually get into the benchmarks and games, let’s do a simple temperature test to see what the idle and load temperatures of the card will be.
