The Box and Packaging
The packaging is an unknown to me, as I recieved the card without a retail box. My guess is that it will contain something along the lines of the following: The card, obviously, a driver CD, at least one molex to 6pin PCIe adaptor, a miniHDMI to HDMI adapter and/or a DVI to HDMI adapter, a DVI to VGA adapter, an instruction manual. You know, the usual stuff.
A Closer Look
Appearance wise, Gigabyte’s Geforce GTX 560 looks little different than the GTX560Ti, not surprising as the only real difference is the core. The PCB board looks the same, it uses roughly the same Wind-Force x2 anti-turbulence cooling solution, and it has the same video outputs. The only noticeable differences are the PCB markings, and when you install the card in to your system, the card detects as a GTX560. For connectivity, there’s a mini-HDMI port and dual DVI, I’d like to see a full sized HDMI port, but finding room on the back panel for one would be a pretty good trick.
