Compare any two graphics cards:

GeForce GTX 560 vs GeForce GTX 560 Ti

Intro

The GeForce GTX 560 features clock speeds of 810 MHz on the GPU, and 1001 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 336 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all of that to the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, which makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 822 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a speed of 1002 MHz on this card. It features 384 SPUs along with 64 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce GTX 560		150 Watts
GeForce GTX 560 Ti		170 Watts
	Difference: 20 Watts (13%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti should in theory be a little bit superior to the GeForce GTX 560 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		128256 MB/sec
GeForce GTX 560		128128 MB/sec
	Difference: 128 (0%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a bit (about 16%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 560. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		52608 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		45360 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7248 (16%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is a better choice, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

GeForce GTX 560 Ti		26304 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GTX 560		25920 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 384 (1%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

Well, the 560 seems much better then the 560 ti considering the price difference in online stores, the 560ti is almost 50% more expensive compared to the 560.

En SLI la 560 es la mejor opcion, por precio y consumo, la TI no le veo nada bueno la verdad, de hecho tengo la 560 y en breve compraré la otra, os aconsejo ASUS pues la refrigeracion es la mas optima, ahora mismo la tengo a 27º sin refrigeracion liquida.
