The Box and Packaging
The packaging is what you would expect from Gigabyte … a nice looking box, but nothing special. However, it does come with the usual intruction manual, driver CD, 2 x 6pin PCIE power cables, DVI-to-VGA converter and a mini-HDMI to standard HDMI adaptor. I suppose Gigabyte could have included a DX11 game or possibly a “full feature” HDMI cable … if they did, then it would make the product complete.
A Closer Look
Appearance wise, Gigabyte’s Geforce GTX 560 Ti looks no different to their older GTX 460 models. The PCB board looks the same, it uses the same Wind-Force x2 anti-turbulence cooling solution, and it has the same video outputs. The only noticeable difference is when you install the card in to your system … then you’ll see the GTX 560 markings on the PCB, and during driver installation. For connectivity, there’s a mini-HDMI port and dual DVI, which I think is more than enough for most users.
