The nVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 1024MB PCIe Display Card from PNY is a powerful 3D display card for use with Windows computer systems. The card installs in an available PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. It requires an empty adjacent slot to accommodate its double-width form factor.
The card supports a number of advanced graphics technologies. It can handle games and applications that are written using the DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 libraries with equal ease. It can be used with an optional nVIDIA 3D Vision kit to add true 3D support to your computing experience. If your system can support two of these cards you can take advantage of SLI technology, which effectively doubles 3D graphics performance by spreading the rendering workload across two GPUs.
The card's GPU also offers support for nVIDIA CUDA and PhysX technologies. CUDA allows compatible applications to leverage the card's powerful processor to aid in computations, which translates into a significant speed boost. The PhysX engine is used by games to simulate real-world physics. As this is handled by the GPU, it allows the computer's CPU to work on other aspects of gameplay -- which translates into smoother gameplay at higher resolution!

Comments about PNY Technologies nVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 1024MB PCIe Display Card:
This is how gaming should be! What a fantastic graphics card. This one runs cooler then the 560Ti and uses less power. But, graphics wise you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two. This is an outstanding value. I've played Witcher2 which is graphics intensive. Also, Total War Shogun2 uses DirectX 11 and needs the horsepower graphics this card delivers. This card rocks. Without spending twice as much, the finest movements and details display. The game play is right there and does not lage.
