Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs 570 Benchmarks Review Linus Tech Tips

The Linus Tech Tips video compares the Zotac GTX 560 Ti 448 core limited edition to the GTX 570, using Modern Warfare 3 as the primary benchmark to illustrate real-world gaming performance. The host explains that the 448-core card uses the GF110 core, the same family as the GTX 570, though it differs from the original GTX 560 Ti in core configuration and length. The testing setup includes a Modern Warfare 3 run that begins with a two-minute segment of street combat, highlighting typical action where players aim and shoot, with minor in-game events such as a grenade and some bot-controlled teammates. Zotac’s 448-core card is noted for its compact size and thoughtful port layout, offering two DVI, a full-size HDMI, and a DisplayPort, compared to the GTX 570 which has two DVI and a Mini HDMI; the Zotac card is also described as surprisingly quiet and shorter, which may benefit smaller cases. The reviewer emphasizes that both cards share the same architecture and driver, so the performance difference at high settings and 1080p should be modest, roughly between 5% and 10% in favor of the GTX 570, with the 560 Ti 448 generally being a better value if priced lower. The video concludes with practical takeaways for buyers and a request to subscribe for more unboxings and reviews, acknowledging the limited testing time while presenting a snapshot of how the two GPUs compare in gaming workloads and overall form factor.
