MSI GeForce GTX 560 Twin Frozr II/OC graphics card review

3DMark 11

3DMark 11 is the latest version of this hugely popular synthetic benchmark. Making use of DX11 features such as tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading, it provides modern-day results and is available as a free download.

The de facto leading synthetic gaming benchmark groups the better cards in the 4,000-5,000-mark range. MSI's card is about five per cent faster than a default 560, while the HD 5870 is as fast as a GTX 560 Ti.
