00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.000
In this video, I'm going to be doing a bit of a different take on the GTX

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:16.640
560Ti. So, I know I included a lot of games

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.880
with tessellation as part of the overall

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:25.519
uh visual package that they include, including Hawk 2 as well as Metro 2033.

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:28.640
when I did my full 560 Ti as well as

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.960
tessellation information video review on

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:36.239
my NCIXCOM channel, which you should check out. But I wanted to take a

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:41.440
slightly different approach and I wanted to test a couple of the cards. So, I

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:43.040
have the 560 Ti here. I have the 460

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:47.760
Hawk, which I'm going to run at stock 460 speeds just so that we have a more

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:54.239
clear understanding of where the Ti falls in place with the original 460 or

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:58.640
the 560 Ti with the 460. I included the

00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:01.039
570 GTX from NVIDIA as well just to give

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:06.240
us a little bit of perspective for how a higherend NVIDIA card will perform with

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:11.119
heavy tessill or rather extreme tessillation enabled in heaven. I also

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.760
am using 4x anti-aliasing and 8x anisotropic filtering. And then I also

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:25.439
threw in some competition from the red camp. So I have the uh Radeon 6950

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:29.200
and then I also have a Radeon 6870. So

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:31.439
these are both positioned um well close

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:36.880
to a little under and then within spitting distance of the pricing of the

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:39.680
GTX 560Ti. So let's see how these cards

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:42.680
compare. and an extreme tessillation benchmark.

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:52.079
So, for my heavy tessillation test, I actually discovered that while the GTX

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:57.759
560Ti performs about where you'd expect

00:01:52.079 --> 00:02:00.240
in between the GTX 460 and the GTX 570,

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:08.399
that is to say that it's a little bit closer to the 570 than it is to the 460.

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.120
It actually outperforms both of the ATI

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:15.599
Radeon uh rather, excuse me, AMD Radeon cards in my testing. So, it outperforms

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:22.720
the 6870 as well as the 6T950 in the heavily

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:24.160
tessillated version of the Heaven

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:29.440
benchmark. So, thanks for checking out my video and uh don't forget you can
