Aimed squarely at competing with the Radeon HD 7770, the launch of the GeForce GTX 560 SE is imminent, and today pictures and performance information have emerged of Galaxy’s compact solution based on this GPU. The specifications of the card are as follows:

40 nm GF114-200-KB-A1 GPU
736 MHz core speed
957 MHz (3,828 MHz effective) memory speed offering 91.9 GB/s bandwidth
288 CUDA cores
48 Texture Mapping Units (TMUs)
24 Render OutPut units (ROPs)
1 GB GDDR5 memory comprising of an interesting 4x 1 Gbit and 2x 2 Gbit ICs
192-bit memory bus
4+1 phase VRMs driven by dual 6-pin PCIe power connectors

The card’s short PCB has the VRMs moved to the front and is cooled by an aluminum fin-stack, two heatpipes and an 80 mm fan. Chinese technology news site QK123 has provided the following benchmark scores:

As one can see from the scores, the card sits between the GeForce GTX 550 Ti and the GeForce GTX 560 Ti, putting it in the correct position to go head-to-head with the Radeon HD 7770.

Overclocking the card shows near-linear scaling, and it tops out quite close to a stock GeForce GTX 560 – decent for a card in the sub US $200 bracket.

As seen by the graph, the power consumption is quite impressive, coming in a fair margin below the standard GeForce GTX 560 and even below the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. More pictures are shown below. Source — QK123
