Thanks to Bobnova, we've just published a review on the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560 OC (1Gb GDDR5) graphics card ... model GV-N56GOC-1GI. Not to be confused with the Ti version, this graphics card is an extremely good overclocker as Bobnova finds out. Here's a snip ...

Today we're looking at one of their newest video cards, it's based around the Nvidia GeForce GTX560 core, has 1gb of GDDR5 ram on a 256bit bus, and a unique to gigabyte dual fan cooling solution.

The design of the card is interesting in that Nvidia did not make a "reference design" for this card.  For most mid range and high end cards Nvidia builds a "reference" card, Foxconn makes hundreds of thousands of them, and then the various manufacturers (gigabyte, zotac, MSI, etc.) slap a sticker on it and call it good.  Then later in the GPU core's life cycle the manufacturers will come out with their own modified or brand new designs, such as Gigabyte's Super Over Clock series.
