There may still be no official word on NVIDIA's mid-range GeForce GTX 560, but it already seems to be doing the rounds on Chinese shopping site TaoBao, courtesy of Gigabyte.
The two cards that are listed will be clocked higher than the GF114's rumoured 823MHz stock speed. The Over Clocked version will get the bump up to 900MHz for the core, 1,800MHz for the 384 shaders and 4,000MHz for the frame buffer, while the Super Over Clocked model will reportedly turn it all the way up to 1,000MHz, 2,000MHz and 4,580MHz.
Of course, this won't come as two much of a surprise to anyone who saw the flood of factory overclocked GTX 460s that hit the market after launch. Although none made it as high as the gigahertz barrier, cards clocked at 150MHz higher than the stock 675MHz core-clock were a common sight. Given that NVIDIA is bound to have made some improvements to the design of the already overclocking-friendly GPU, it shouldn't come as a surprise that these speedy boards are on the way.
Unfortunately, the product shots are just edited versions of the equivalent GTX 460 products - the model number on the SOC heatsink still says '460' - but that doesn't necessarily mean that the listing are fake.
NVIDIA's next update to the Fermi architecture still hasn't been officially announced, but we're expecting it to drop into our laps sometime in the next few weeks. Pricing on these up-tuned models works out to around £220 and £230, making the stock cards prime candidates to do battle with AMD's Radeon HD 6950 1GB at around £200.
