In this video, I'm going to be doing a bit of a different take on the GTX
0:08
560Ti. So, I know I included a lot of games
0:12
with tessellation as part of the overall
0:16
uh visual package that they include, including Hawk 2 as well as Metro 2033.
0:21
when I did my full 560 Ti as well as
0:25
tessellation information video review on
0:28
my NCIXCOM channel, which you should check out. But I wanted to take a
0:33
slightly different approach and I wanted to test a couple of the cards. So, I
0:38
have the 560 Ti here. I have the 460
0:41
Hawk, which I'm going to run at stock 460 speeds just so that we have a more
0:45
clear understanding of where the Ti falls in place with the original 460 or
0:50
the 560 Ti with the 460. I included the
0:54
570 GTX from NVIDIA as well just to give
0:58
us a little bit of perspective for how a higherend NVIDIA card will perform with
1:03
heavy tessill or rather extreme tessillation enabled in heaven. I also
1:08
am using 4x anti-aliasing and 8x anisotropic filtering. And then I also
1:13
threw in some competition from the red camp. So I have the uh Radeon 6950
1:21
and then I also have a Radeon 6870. So
1:25
these are both positioned um well close
1:29
to a little under and then within spitting distance of the pricing of the
1:33
GTX 560Ti. So let's see how these cards
1:36
compare. and an extreme tessillation benchmark.
1:43
So, for my heavy tessillation test, I actually discovered that while the GTX
1:48
560Ti performs about where you'd expect
1:52
in between the GTX 460 and the GTX 570,
1:57
that is to say that it's a little bit closer to the 570 than it is to the 460.
2:04
It actually outperforms both of the ATI
2:08
Radeon uh rather, excuse me, AMD Radeon cards in my testing. So, it outperforms
2:13
the 6870 as well as the 6T950 in the heavily
2:19
tessillated version of the Heaven
2:22
benchmark. So, thanks for checking out my video and uh don't forget you can
2:26
also see my real game tessellation
2:29
benchmarks in my NCIXCOM video on my
2:32
other channel. Don't forget to subscribe not only to Linus Tech Tips, but also
