Meanwhile in 2044: "Is 1 TB of VRAM enough to play this game?"
Probably vram recommendation on that date would be 48 to 64 gbs
@@Artisto22756 Unreal Tournament from 2004 had 32 MB video card required
Is 4 Peta Bytes of DDR8 enough to run Windows 25 in 2044? 😆
meanwhile nvidia will still be pumping 8 gig cards

Only a month ago I still had a 550 Ti in my PC...now I have a 1070 Ti coming in the mail. I can hardly wait
It will be a nice performance boost, even fi it's nowhere near the latest and greatest
Had a 950 Radeon once was epic card
1070 is a fantastic card and very capable. I'm using a GTX 1070 in my daily rig.
sweet!!! the 1070 ti carried my system and my friends system for a while. legendary card
wanna sell your 550? I need a GPU!
It's very impressive what 1Gb of Ram could do back in the day. Now a days most cards have at least 4Gbs or more and can sometimes struggle on basic tasks. I just got the RX 7800XT and while it's very powerful and nice to have, my first GPU the Gtx 1050ti would still to this day serve me very well if I had it still.
Yeah been meaning to look at the 1050ti again. See how well the legend is holding up!
@@RandomGaminginHD I had the Asus Phoenix edition, low profile card. I think I threw it out before the GPU pandemic started as I thought it was a useless card, mistakes were made.
I thought 4gb would never be fully utilized back then. A couple years later I met the 8gb RX580 and Cities Skylines with a bunch of mods, lol.
@@GodSaveTheUnitedStates CS doesn't use that VRAM, as such. It just tries to run about 80% of the game's load on a single thread, which causes a bottleneck in system memory, including cache, RAM and VRAM, which fill up due to allocation requests delayed by the slow simulation.
Ayyyy my first GPU was the 1050 ti too! That was a good little card for the price. Only reason I got rid of it was because I wanted to max out Doom Eternal when that came out. Went to the RX 570, then to an RX 6600, and now I've got an RTX 4070
I had two of these in SLI at one point years ago. I happened upon an affordable 3D monitor and it was the cheaper way to play 3D with decent framerates. Borderlands 2 in 3D was life changing. I have a soft spot for this GPU, I'm astonished it still has this kind of fight left in it.
Played WoW and BF3 on those in 3D. Was amazing.
I had two 560ti sli’d, was a beast of a system back in its day!
I recently scored a 1070 with a 6 core xeon hp z440 workstation for $250. Cant wait to benchmark it and try it out. I think I got lucky with the 1070 cuz i was originally going for the 970, but i found a good deal on the 1070.
1070 performed admirably for me through the dark times of 2021. I still haven't sold mine after finally upgrading.
the 1070 is far above the 970 just from the vram alone in todays games even if you ignore the extra compute power
I would love to score one of those z440's. I love the idea of reusing an older workstation for a bang up budget gaming system. I'm still torturing an old optiplex 7010 with a zeon e3 1230v2 and an RX580 8GB. It does well with the older games I enjoy playing e.g. American Truck Simulator, Cities Skylines, and GTA 5.
I scored a functioning 1070 Ti for $98 on eBay. I was so stoked that I bought a better xeon to go with it
@@miliart7695 OMG dark times was scary , I had R7 250x , but it died :/ , I literally needed to look on darkest part of Swedish market , I manage to find GTX 760 3gb for very cheap , oh tho gpu had cooler from cpu ... I use it about 12 months , but every day it work was like winning lottery 😂 (tears are real)
Looking at the GPU size today the GTX 560 looks so small
Oh yeah , I have been useing mid range GPU for long time ago , and after prices went to normal state , I bought used high end gpu , and I needed to do so cable managment and gpu fit with 1.5cm space left :)
Fascinating that this thing has the same TDP as RTX 4060 ti, but those have much beefier coolers. The GPU it self on GTX 560 is about 10% bigger than on RTX 4070 ti.
RTX 4060 and 4060 ti are really small. Nvidia only made the boards bigger and more sparse to make cooling more effective. 4060 LP is even smaller than this card.
Current GPU design is in a sad state
@@aboriginalmang
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Nvidia didn't do reference boards for 4060 and 4060 ti 16GB? It's board partners that make em big
Brilliant video Steve ❤
Thanks!
The fact that these huge stutters are on every games including Minecraft makes me wonder if the card has another issues than just being old
I think it’s the vram being maxed pretty much all of the time
No Vram and no driver support, I think thats exepected performance for this card.
I think it’s just the VRAM buffer overflowing
@@0rogontorogon Minecraft doesn't need 1G of VRAM does it ?
@@MisterKrakenson fancy graphics and higher settings yea
Just the “plain” GTX560 , not even the Ti model and not even the 2GB version ( I still have my *GTX560Ti 2GB Phantom* from Gainward) and yet ,some decent numbers considering its age.
I’ve said it many times that if we take in account the performance we see in current tests … a proper Fermi GPU ( *GTX580 3GB* , or a *GTX560Ti 2GB* ) could still perform wonders *if the drivers were up to date* !!
based on a super-capable and an all-around compute-based architecture ,a properly implemented Fermi(like the 2 models I mentioned) ,with proper driver support ,might not achieve very high fps but it is very capable to get the job done…
Thank you for these tests ,Fermi is my most nostalgic architecture.
I use mcbook with nvidia gt 650m Kepler (1 gb 128bit gddr5 ram) with new thermal paste it doesn't overheat and the gpu still runs very well for titles like gta iv or gta v
The 560ti with the extra memory was the only 560 worth buying. The other 560s were just upclocked 460 with the bus intact. When the 560 came out they changed the 460 to version 2 and cut the bus from 256 to 192. You could buy 2 460s for the price on a single 560. Then all you had to do was connect the sli bridge and overlook them to get better performance than the 560s.
Great video! It's good fun to build a pc using old hardware, then go through the steam backlog(which goes waaaaay back, in my case)
A hair better than a GT1030 (DDR4) or a little bit slower than a GTX750/GT1030(GDDR5) albeit with a massive power draw. The 1030's are still supported by newer drivers for now and has very low power consumption. This is best suited for free to play online games on any old 4 core processor, but if you plan to play any AAA games released in 2018 or later then prepare to be disappointed ^_^ I had the 560ti (50usd used) and it served me well from 2016 to 2018 until it was replaced by GTX 1060 3gb (199usd bnew) which I'm still using to this day in 2024!!
I had a 1030 in my living room PC and it played just about anything with lower presets, even in 4K for things like Roblox (no, really!). The extra gigabyte of RAM and up to date drivers makes a huge difference I'm sure.
GTX 560 Ti was my first graphics card, so it's interesting to see how a card from this era is holding up. Cool video :)
It's like seeing what ps5/ps4 games would look on a ps3/ps4, love it. Crazy how much life this still has in it
I'd put that in a category I'll call "if my graphics card failed, I was absolutely skint and someone offered it to me for a fiver".
You should try to limit the FPS in riva tuner options, to test if the 0.1% low improve in several games/cards. You will be surprised in some games, even if the limit is near the average (60fps would be the limit with more sense, to "work better" on older monitors but even for all range of fps, 45, 90, 120, 144, etc).
And try Dirt Rally 1 with older pc's. Ego engine will surprise you and it's a great game to test and very cheap nowadays.
Keep with the good work!
I bought a m evga gtx 560 ti back in 2012 ran great for world of warcraft and star trek online and star wars the old republic and whatever else i was playing at the time. Still have it in the original box! It started showing lines on the screen so i bought a gtx 1050 ti 4gb from MSI still have it also in original packaging as well!
My first DIY PC was powered by a 570, and it used to be able to run some games at 1440p. This brings back memories!
I had 550TI with the same amout of VRAM and it worked alright. Around 2016 it got upgraded to GTX 960 4GB.
I love how the card looks so clean even though its old age.
Your so on point with these uploads. My friend just gave me a load of his "old hardware"....you know what guys like us love to hear. There was a EVGA 750ti in there with a Gigabyte GTX 560...unfortunately has a dead second fan, but I have a box full of 120mm fans to ziptie on. I have a soft spot for 2008-2015 era of gaming, so this 560 isn't bad to have on hand. In my area though, second hand, the same money will get you a wide range of cards for the under $50 for that era, so the 560 isn't too exciting but free is good.
My child self would've loved a gpu like this back when I knew nothing about computers and was playing games on an igpu.
I love seeing how some of these old cards can hold up. So basically 720p or lower settings.
Yeah best suited to 720p for sure
@@RandomGaminginHD I'm surprised to see how well it did in Fortnite - I imagine Fortnite offloaded some GPU tasks onto the CPU because it saw available headroom... the CPU usage was very high, around ~80% sometimes
I doubt my first video card survived as many years of usefulness. The Fermi cards can still play some modern games after almost a decade and a half! Now I miss my old GTX 460...
This makes my old GTX 760 2GB SLI setup look beastly
The reviews that really matter 👌🏻
Note there are some earlier GTX 460s which had 2GB (I have two), back when NVIDIA allowed AIBs to make VRAM-doubled SKUs, and some of them run much the same or faster than that 560's 810MHz clock, while other 1GB 460s were already faster anyway (such as the EVGA FTW which had an 850MHz core, I had two in SLI, or there's the Palit Sonic Platinum 1GB which had an 800MHz core).
Infact the 560 had the same shader/TMU/ROP config as the 460, due to it being just a cut down version of the 560 Ti. Worse, the existing 460 v2 was considerably faster (despite the lower ROP count) and could oc like crazy, eg. there's an EVGA model with an 867MHz core which can usually oc to 1GHz+ (I ran my pair at 1025MHz), which made them especially nice in SLI, also because they were very well priced, though alas the v2s didn't receive the doubled VRAM treatment, probably because by then NVIDIA realised how often people were buying such cards to achieve top-end performance at a much lower cost than premium models, sans the lesser VRAM (it didn't matter a hoot for games like FC2).
The 560 Ti finally increased the shader/TMU count for midrange SKUs (a full GF114), though it had the same 32 ROPs, while midrange base VRAM from NVIDIA didn't increase until the 660's 2GB (which was basically the same speed as the GTX 570 despite having a much higher shader count, because the shader design completely changed). The 460 is Fermi, while the 560 and 560 Ti are Fermi 2.0, but weirdly the 460 v2 is also Fermi 2.0, though with a narrower memory bus (which didn't seem to matter in practice, and it meant less heat, hence the easier oc'ing). I plan on jamming a 280mm AIO on a 460 v2 sometimes just to see how high it can go for lols.
Perhaps the most interesting Fermi 2.0 SKU is the GTX 580, partly because of its 50% higher ROP count than even the 560 Ti, and the much higher shader/TMU count, but also because of the doubled-VRAM variants which ranged from the blower style EVGA 3GB with a 797MHz core (Palit had a similar model with a 783MHz core) up to the MSI Lightning Extreme 3GB with a default 832MHz core (though it could oc to 950MHz+). Fermi 2.0 was especially good for CUDA and FP64, something NVIDIA utterly crippled with the 600 series. Indeed, for CUDA the GTX 580 beats all the 600s and all the 700s except the 780 Ti and Titan, though not for gaming of course. NVIDIA changed the shader design after Fermi 2.0 to improve power efficiency and other issues, but it meant the newer designs needed 2x to 3x the shader count to reach similar levels of performance.
Steve, I'd be happy to lend you an MSI L.X. GTX 580 3GB model to test out, it would be fascinating to see how it behaves, inparticular where its much larger VRAM gives it an edge even where its base performance may be lacking vs. later models, or slower SKUs like the 560. Let me know if you're interested. I'm in Edinburgh and thus can easily post one down (search for "SGI Ian", you'll find my site and thus my Yahoo email address). I could also send a more typical GTX 580 1.5GB model to compare.
I was able to pick one up for $15! Excited to try it out :)
I had a Sapphire Radeon 6850 1GB around that time, which was a little behind the performance of the 560 if I remember right. Still had a blast with that card paired with a Phenom X4 955BE overclocked to 4GHz.
I remember the most recent game I played with my old 1gb hd7770 was Resident Evil 7 and it ran well except there was something wrong with the foliage, like the trees looked weird.
I had a 560ti a long time ago! I loved that card
do you record with obs or with a capture card
What a beast still. Impressive!!
The GPU i had when in 2011, instead of grabbing a PS4, i moved to PC for the first time was a *_Zotac GTX560 2GB._*
I loved that card because it was able to max out 720p@60fps rock solid, but still capable of 1080p@60fps at medium settings before i upgraded to a gtx970 in 2014.
Its amazing how long these PC parts lasts. im still running my old HD 6950 in a pc for older games
still have my 560 (my first gaming graphics card), which suffered from overheating after 9 years of dust buildup and little to no maintenance back in 2020. no idea if a cleaning and repasting would bring it back, but considering the value of the card today it might only be worth the effort for nostalgia's sake or practice.
I went to tech power up and even they didnt have a 560 1 gig card where in the world did you get it ?
its a miracle, that thing is still alive. 560 suffered from gpu falloff.
I have the same one on my wall of GPU's among other old cards.
I picked up a 5700x3d for $168USD from AliExpress today! I'm not sure if that counts as budget yet, but it's definitely getting close. I'd be curious to see a video on it or a similar chip from you in 2024 :).
my first gpu was 9800gtx+ 0.5gb and was a beast back then ...ah memories
Had a Palit GTX 560 which I sold sometime last year. It was a really heat engine.
Holy shit I am pretty sure I had an Asís 560 as well. I built it for battlefield 3. So many memories on that baby. It had a 2500k air cooled and I was supposed to have 8 gigs of ram but one of them was doa and I never got across to rmaing it.
I had a 560 SOC back in 2011. I would crash all the time. Had it RMA'd but Scan didn't have any in stock and sent me a 570 instead, no extra charge :D
I kept my GTX 560ti until the 10 series came out. I then snagged a GTX 980 that someone was offloading. I'm surprised how well the 500 series is still doing.
I had this card from 2011 to 2015. It was a dual fan card from MSI, unfortunately the fans gave up (twice) so it had to be replaced. Pretty ok card although it was my only GPU which actually malfunctioned before getting replaced.
I remember getting the gtx 560 in 2011. good times. Had it until the 900 series
So the 560 does actually launch RDR 2 in DX12 mode, which leads me to think it may not be build with DX12 ?
I mean, it actually shouldn't be able to run actual DX12 code path am i right ?
I still have a GTX 650 Ti kicking around that I purchased new way back. It's like brand new still!
You should try another upscaler for example magpie or lossless see if you can pump extra fps in so upscale 634p to 720p
I still use this in my homeserver to encode h264/h265 files with jellyfin. It's also still well supported in linux.
that GTX GPU really makes the difference, this unit runs better than my old GT1030 2GB, I am on a GT1030 4GB at the moment due to SFF requirements,
but seeing this 1GB GTX run like that on a i5 8th gen 16GB DDR 4 system shows me that the GTX even dated really does hold up but maybe with more Vram...
The I5 8400... That CPU was nothing but utter crap for me for whatever reason, had so many power issues it couldn't handle running discord alongside a game without the game stuttering.
Nice to see the 560 still performing remotely well.
had this same 560 model around 2012 and it began displaying red lines mere weeks after warranty period. and it was noisy too, not so fond memories
What cpus/ram used?
I had this with two 150 watts PSU setup, then I bought a 650watts PSU and then it malfunctioned. Been gaming with it from 2021 till 2023. And wouldn't you know, I have been using it with the heat spreader detached.
I played a lot with GTX560, Witcher 2 among the others! :)
Breaking the 1024MB VRAM barrier was quite the feat back in the day. I can't wait to see single 1024GB GPUs. I've already had a taste of this with multi-GPU servers for scientific compute, pooling 2TB VRAM across 32 GPUs, and going back to standard desktops feels sobering.
I had a rig with HD7770 which perform similarly to this. It can only comfortably play AAA game up to 2014, anything newer than that it's a struggle. I tried to play AC Unity and it's too unplayable for me lol. I finished Witcher 3 and GTA 5 though, with below 30fps😬 If i were to play it again, I probably would've chose 720p resolution to get better fps since I don't have big monitor anyway.
I didn't know this gpu was still this capable (if you want to call it that ) I have a ti version of it sitting in my dad's old gaming computer from years ago didn't think it would be worth putting in anything except for old games
Could you try running modern day graphics cards on older games? Lots of games that I really wanted to enjoy as a teen (Skyrim, modded minecraft, etc.) are now enjoyable at super-high framesrates. Can you give us a hint of what experiences exactly can be expected?
just put a 560 ti in a streaming system for the bedroom. nice to know what gaming performance i could get without having to get up.
Please, consider donating it to a museum.
I had the GTX 570 and it was "okay". Replaced it with the 770 Ti 4GB relatively quickly for my first 4K setup.
Still have a 6850 in that form factor. Yes, not great even then, but always liked the look. Swapped it out when the 970 was released, which I am still using. Not as pretty though.
I been buying games from GOG lately the oldest was Alone in the dark from 1992 and the witcher from 2007 you get the point even the first Alan Wake 2010 i am guessing this card would run these games great.
A 560 was my very first dedicated graphics card!
If I could send you my old 8400 GS card to test out, I would. Should be good for a few laughs. Mind, I was able to finish RE4 and RE5 at 800x600 using that card along with an Intel Pentium E2160 and DDR2 2GB RAM. Good times.
Para alguien que no quiere jugar lo último y quiere algo más casual es una opción a tener en cuenta, y también describir siempre tiene su buena cantidad de juegos que soporta
I still have my old GTX 650 with that kind of cooler design.
ATI Radeon HD 5870 in 2024 please?
I had the OEM GTX 555 in an Alienware x51, I thought it was close to a 560... but it was way off 😆
Pretty decent considering you can pick one of these up for less than £20.
Oof, those stutters in CS2 are painful.
Especially given what kind of game it is.
Seeing all these "GTX 560 was my first GPU!" posts makes me feel OLD.
I got the 560ti version, and it served me well, from 2011 to late 2017.
It was the my second GPU and it was fine for the era, but I got talked into a 660ti the next year and gave the 560 to a friend of a friend. Good times.
My first GPU was a Z80, does that make you feel better?
Gt 710 vs hd 630 but 2gb vram version of 710 the video on RUclips has compared gt 710s 1gb version
I'm very surprised how well this ran Fallout 4
I thought that was Radeon HD7850 1GB like mine for a second
Wow 😮
and i thought my 750 ti was old. impressive performance for such an old card tho
Somehow it seems to handle those games better with the original 2500k CPU in previous video o_0
Red Dead Redemption 2? or was it slide show Redemption 2?
can you do a video on the rx 580 in 2024?
some igpus are close or better today. how much power did this 560 thing pull?
Best igpus are MUCH faster
dayum I have this card somewhere, didnt think it could still run something (likely gpu would run 5-10fps every game but nvidia being nvidia so vram is limiting factor likely causing many games to refuse to launch). (BTW this card was capping vram already 2012 I got it, as it is budget tier card)
PS GT 1030 gets worthy competitor
Reminds me of my old friend the HD 7770
i have the exact same gpu in my windows xp gaming pc, even the same cooler
i have a 550ti, itd be nice if it could help me content create on mc
Legendary card
Yeah the one I wanted back when it came out but couldn’t afford
my first gpu
my old pc has gtx 560 and i7 2600
Is the rtx 4080 ti enough to play games in 2042?
I have a 460 which looks the same, only with green stripes and it has 768 Mb of memory
Gtx 1050 ti revisit please.
The only uses case for this card. Is if your on a zero or near zero budget AND you allready have or get for free a PC with a PSU that has 2 6pin powercables AND the GTX 560 is free or like max. £/$/€ 5,-. Just untill you can get a better GPU. Otherwise if you can afford a PC with a PSU that has 2 6pin powercables. You can get a better card or use your total budget and system configuration better. Nice video do 👍💯
Can we take a moment to appreciate just how well optimised GTA V is? If you turn V-sync on the stutter will go away BTW. I had a 560ti 448 core for a while and it was a really good card, had some really weird VRAM amount like 1.282gb or something.
do the hd 6950 pls
Back then 2 of these was beating a 580 for cheaper haha
I had the same boi it died i heated it over gas stove 😂 and got it to work, probably still working gave it to someone

cool vid by the way
Yes but rx 460 is obviously better than gtx570tie yk
