Zotac GeForce GTX 560 AMP Reviews
Zotac GTX 560 AMP! Edition review
As noted in the previous review of the MSI N560GTX Twin Frozer II, Nvidia has taken the rather unusual step of not producing a reference board design or a real set of stock speeds that manufacturers are obliged to adhere to for the launch of the GTX 560. Instead Nvidia has allowed a core clock frequency of between 810MHz and 950MHz to be used. Among the manufacturers taking the most advantage of such leniency is Zotac, who certainly hasn't messed around when it comes to producing an overclocked version of the GTX 560. Zotac has dived straight in and tweaked the core to the highest core clock speed that Nvidia recommends – 950MHz – for its GeForce GTX 560 1GB AMP! Edition. That is 140MHz faster straight out of the box than the reference design – if there had been such a thing for the GTX 560. Well known for producing seriously overclocked boards in its AMP! range, that Zotac has taken this step should come as no real surprise. It doesn't stop at the core clock either because Zotac has matched the core speed with some equally high-clocked GDDR5 memory, pushing it to the recommended (1,100MHz, 4.4GHz effective) limit as well.
Zotac GeForce GTX 560 Ti AMP! Edition
Zotac has stuffed the GeForce GTX 560 GPU into no less than three cards with the GeForce GTX 560 Ti AMP! Edition standing as the flagship. Being an AMP! Edition card the Zotac ships pre-overclocked, so rather than having its GPU and memory running at 822MHz and 1,002MHz (4,008MHz effectively), the AMP! Edition’s parts are clocked at 950MHz and 1,100MHz (4,400MHz effectively). To keep the overclocked GPU and memory from overheating, the card is outfitted with an eye-catching high-performance cooler. The cooler is a dual-slot setup and so renders the slot just below the PCI-E x16 slot useless. The cooler while quiet initially does get slightly more audible after about 20 minutes of continuous use. That said, in a closed PC, it can barely be heard. Unsurprisingly Zotac’s GeForce GTX 560 Ti AMP! Edition was a rocket. In our DirectX 11 Heaven v2.0 benchmark the Zotac produced figures of 82.6fps, 56.8fps and 48.9fps at 1,024 x 768, 1,680 x 1,050 and 1,920 x 1,200 pixels respectively. Palit’s pre-overclocked GeForce GTX 560 Ti Sonic managed figures of 78.6fps, 54.1fps and 46.5fps. Likewise in our H.A.W.X test, the Zotac belted out figures of 180fps, 125fps and 106fps to the Palit’s 172fps, 120fps and 102fps at the same resolutions mentioned above.
