The best part about the Galaxy GTX 560 is the price. At a mere Rs. 10,290, it is the best price we found amongst any GTX 560 card. EVGA GTX 560 which performs slightly better is priced around Rs.11,900. We are sure the pricing should come under Rs. 10,000 soon. Makes for a good purchase then.
Build and Design: It is a dual-slot card having a black coloured plastic shroud. A large fan is placed in the centre over a heatsink. The shroud has minute holes on the front surface and an opening on the right hand side for easy airflow. The build quality if the shroud is pretty decent but the fan looks flimsy.
Performance: Performance wise, the GTX 560Ti overpowers the Galaxy, but it gives scores similar to the MSI GTX 560 and better than MSI HD 6870. Crysis Warhead just about reached 30 FPS at 1920×1080 at Very High settings. So you will need to lower the settings if you plan to increase the AA or AF. The HD 6950 performs slightly better, but when it comes to temperatures, the delta of 31 degrees C for the Galaxy GTX 560 is better than 36 degrees C of the HD 6950.
