ZOTAC GeForce GTX 560 Ti w/ Batman Arkham City $184.99 AR, $30 MIR, $4.05 Shipping, Tigerdirect

I'm tempted to go for this, but I can't find any reviews for the ZT-50304-10M model of this card. The reviews on newegg for the similar ZT-50303-10M card are not very good.

here are several reviews...click [google.com]

when in doubt...google it...lol

Zotac's 560 & 570's have had issues with stability for DX11 games. MSI, EVGA, and some other brands were much better at releasing bios updates to correct instability with their cards. Last I checked Zotac had not released an official fix. Forum posts suggested overclocking or increasing voltage to reach stability - but these cards all seemed to have stock voltage regulators, so I wasn't willing to try that out.

I bought a Zotac card and ended up having to underclock it by 20 mhz (using some MSI software), which was lame but its still clocked higher than stock. I did get my rebate check back from them in a reasonable time as well, just make sure if you go through them to do their online preregister thing to speed the process up and also log the information for your card. MIGHT have to send a prod email a month or so after you submit for rebate to make sure things are moving.

From a brand perspective - If you don't mind having to potentially tinker with clock speeds or troubleshoot if you have any stablity issues then this would be a good cheap buy.

Mostly worth noting that this is also the 384 core version, there's a better version floating around of the 560 that i think has 448 cores, but I don't know how the prices compare.

Why do people keep posting this? The 448 core version has always been called 448 core and had 448 in the title. Everyone knows this is the regular 560ti

nothing here

Haha clock speed dont really mean much, but in reality, architecture means more, but yeah, I'd say the 560 ti is about 20-30% fasterthan the 460.

Because every time it's mentioned in another thread someone later says "PHEW thanks for saying that I almost bought this".

Note this is not the 560 non ti version.

This is also not the GTX 570.

Actually you have that backwards. The architecture difference between the two cards is a 10% difference.
The rest is pure clock speeds.

It was extremely easy to find that when I searched "460 gtx vs 560 ti" the first article on google search results shows this with a fair amount of data to back it up.

I don't know if I should keep telling people this cause I may have more competition to find a basement bottom priced 460 gtx when kepler is out.

Nevermind.

do they also have the same number of cores? I'm just saying the OP shouldn't take clock speed for granted... other things like cores and architecture are important too.

In any case, we all agree this is a decent deal, so happy all around (now to wait for a non-reference 570 at this price )
