In this video, I'm going to be doing a bit of a different take on the GTX
560Ti. So, I know I included a lot of games
with tessellation as part of the overall
uh visual package that they include, including Hawk 2 as well as Metro 2033.
when I did my full 560 Ti as well as
tessellation information video review on
my NCIXCOM channel, which you should check out. But I wanted to take a
slightly different approach and I wanted to test a couple of the cards. So, I
have the 560 Ti here. I have the 460
Hawk, which I'm going to run at stock 460 speeds just so that we have a more
clear understanding of where the Ti falls in place with the original 460 or
the 560 Ti with the 460. I included the
570 GTX from NVIDIA as well just to give
us a little bit of perspective for how a higherend NVIDIA card will perform with
heavy tessill or rather extreme tessillation enabled in heaven. I also
am using 4x anti-aliasing and 8x anisotropic filtering. And then I also
threw in some competition from the red camp. So I have the uh Radeon 6950
and then I also have a Radeon 6870. So
these are both positioned um well close
to a little under and then within spitting distance of the pricing of the
GTX 560Ti. So let's see how these cards
compare. and an extreme tessillation benchmark.
So, for my heavy tessillation test, I actually discovered that while the GTX
560Ti performs about where you'd expect
in between the GTX 460 and the GTX 570,
that is to say that it's a little bit closer to the 570 than it is to the 460.
It actually outperforms both of the ATI
Radeon uh rather, excuse me, AMD Radeon cards in my testing. So, it outperforms
the 6870 as well as the 6T950 in the heavily
tessillated version of the Heaven
benchmark. So, thanks for checking out my video and uh don't forget you can
also see my real game tessellation
benchmarks in my NCIXCOM video on my
other channel. Don't forget to subscribe not only to Linus Tech Tips, but also
