@ 2011/02/07At the highest resolution the SLI configuration is comparable to the GeForce GTX 570 SLI tandem we tested earlier in scalability. Its performance increases by an average 70% over that of the single card. The maximum performance boost is as high as 105%. Its advantage over the GeForce GTX 580 and Radeon HD 5970 remains the same at 19-21%, though. Compared to that, the GeForce GTX 570 SLI tandem enjoyed an advantage of 42-43% over those cards. Thus, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti SLI delivers comfortable performance where the single GeForce GTX 580 can do the same and even fails in BattleForge and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
So, a dual-GF114 graphics card wouldn’t be competitive as a flagship solution. It might be fast but only about as fast as an ordinary single-chip GeForce GTX 580. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti SLI tandem doesn’t have the hardware resources necessary to beat the upcoming Radeon HD 6990. It might be interesting for enthusiasts as a two-step upgrade, but if you have the whole sum of money to spend, you should instead prefer the GeForce GTX 580. And if you’ve got a Radeon HD 5970, you can rest assured that your graphics card remains unrivalled until the next generation of dual-chip products from AMD and Nvidia.
