There's the problem :P Honestly I don't think it will be the magic king of mid-range, but it is looking to be priced squarely in between the 6870 and 6950, and perform squarely in between them on average. Great, it's just a step up from the 460 (which, incidentally, the 1GB 460 can now be found for barely over $300 now - making it an absolute performance/value freak). Be aware, though, it looks to have a similar overclocking headroom as the 460 - expect to see some 1GHz factory-clocked editions soon enough and if they're priced properly, special-edition 560s could soon become the mid-range king. But the reference clocks don't allow it to topple the 6950.	inphinity (7274)

But the reference clocks don't allow it to topple the 6950. Its a "reference card" the same as the EVGA or Asus reference versions , but i suspect your not serious. I think [H] reviews adds real value in combination with standard canned benchmark reviews although are slightly subjective. However largely I agree the 560 is a very solid mid range card One thing to consider is many people are flashing the ATI 6950 to a 6970(mem bandwidth still diff) with next to no effort and of course no cost. I am not sure this is possible on the 1Gb version of the 6950 as the 6970 has 2Gb. On the flip side vs the 6950 the 560 core looks like it will overclock up to 30% which is very nice. Just grab any only reference card and use free MSI Afterburner, click "apply on startup" and factory overclocks are kinda a sales gimmick these days excluding enhanced coolers.	Battleneter2 (9361)

Yeah, trying to flash a 6950 1GB to a 6970 is a baaad idea, it tries to address memory > 1GB and causes lots of issues - if you're lucky enoguh for it to initialize properly afterwards. The 560 does look to OC well, I have already seen some reports of the Asus DCUII TOP edition getting up to about 1140MHz core and 1150MHz RAM - bear in mind this edition has a significantly modified cooler over the reference design - and pushing itself up to GTX570/6970 performance levels, looks like it'll hit the shelves here at about $499 (similar to the 6950 2GBs). In anything up to about 2560x1600 the 1GB is fine - after that, the 1GB buffer is a serious limitation. nVidia really need to release a 1.5GB or 2GB 560 to compete with the 6950 2GB at stock clocks, and the 6970 with OC editions.	inphinity (7274)
1172389	2011-01-26 03:27:00	IMO, if using 25x16 you need more than 1Gb of memory. and Kyle of at [H] is a serious DH!....if you have the audacity to question his reviews or posts he deletes your posts and bans you! Out of 17 reviews Kyle is the only one to suggest that the 6870 is the competitor which goes against what AMD say! None buys a mid range card for 30"gaming...FW! Both cards are even in performance even when OC'd, the 6950 has the cool dual BIOS, how either as stated Im not sure what flashing a 1Gb card with 2Gb BIOS will do!, Eyefinity will be crippled with the reduced memory so the AMD 1Gb variant to price compete with the GTX560 falls short, where GTX560 has CUDA, PhyX and 3D all of which are viable features on a 16x10 LCD	SolMiester (139)

Out of 17 reviews Kyle is the only one to suggest that the 6870 is the competitor which goes against what AMD say! My big gripe is they often say frames in the low 30's is smooth and playable, in many games "to me" thats not correct, thats the debatable subjective part of there system. Some people really are fine with 25-35FPS others bork at it. Well the 6870 in that review is also a 1Gb card also. To be fair they are not pro ATI or Nvidia, only recently they reviewed a GTX580 vs The HD5970 in favour of Nvidia which is very controversial. I tend to agree with your main point, using 25x16 seems off , more for the point that the market is mid range really meaning 1920x1080 and below. Most with more expensive 25x16 monitors are not going to settle for a GTX560, its a mis-match. They do flat out claim canned benchmarks are very misleading, I think there is "some" truth to that from my own experiences. Its grain of salt stuff.	Battleneter2 (9361)
