The ASUS GTX 500 series seems like a distant memory, but we were surprised when a short time back they shipped us this 560 Ti model refresh to check out. The GTX 560 Ti was originally released with a 1GB framebuffer. This card has the framebuffer doubled with a full 2048MB for what can only be some high res mainstream gaming action.

This card comes in around the same time as the Nvidia 680, and honestly a 2GB framebuffer can be quite a potential performer. The price as of writing was $269.99 which is about middle of the road and a bit cheaper than the EVGA variant which also offers 2GB framebuffer. One major advantage here is that this card offers the DirectCU II cooler whereas the EVGA card which is $10 more uses a reference cooler.
