5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Midrange Card
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013

I replaced my 9800 GTX+ with this card after it went on sale and Asus was offering a $30 rebate.

While it's not as fast as newer cards or the TI version of the 560, it does handle what I throw at it relatively well. The 560 TI version are running $80 to $100 more.

Team Fortress 2 running windowed with high-medium settings typically hits a high of 120~150 FPS and lows of 50 FPS during the most intense combat sessions (multiple sentries in one room, ubers, krits and 15+ people fighting together.)

Natural Selection 2 runs around 40 FPS with low graphical settings but that is more related to a bottleneck on my CPU rather than any issues with the graphics card

Sins of a Solar Empire and Anno 2070 run smooth without any lag or graphical issues with high graphics settings. Before on my 9800 GTX+, I had some minor lag issues with rendering.

Speedfan reports it idles at 29-30C while load goes up to 45C. I haven't overclocked it yet. The fans are relatively quiet compared to my Zalman CPU fan. Card stays cool under pressure.

Installation was a breeze and I downloaded the newest nVidia drivers off the web. After a restart was solid. Total installation time was under 15 minutes, 5 of which was downloading the most recent driver package.

While it does require two 6 PIN power connectors, the card comes with a Molex (4 pin) to 6 pin converter.

The card itself is fairly large, so don't buy this if you have a case smaller than a mid tower. If you have a 2-4 year old mid range to high end video card, you should be able to fit this in your case.

This isn't the best card on the market, but the value it offers for mid range gaming is very high for its cost if you can get it for less than $160. At $200+ there are better cards out there.

EDIT:

Rebate came in 5 weeks in a AMEX Gift card.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great card. Runs a little hot and loud.
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2013

I bought this card when I made the upgrade to a gaming desktop from a laptop. It's a beast of a card and I have no problem running any game on "Ultra" settings. But my first case was small enough that it caused my machine to overheat and shutdown after about 20 minutes of gameplay. No good. So I bought a new big quiet case from Amazon. Installed everything including a liquid cooling system and two extra large fans. Great. Now my computer is super cool. Heat will never be a problem again.

But you know who didn't get the memo? The ASUS ENGTX560. When the card starts working hard, its fans kick into overdrive. Which is nice, but not when they're not necessary. The card is louder than the rest of my computer combined. That's not to say it's an exceptionally loud card, I just have a quiet case and this ruins that just a little bit. I'd still buy it again, but I'd love to be able to disable the fans on it without a screwdriver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mid-range video card; handles graphics with ease
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014

Pros:
This is a great mid-range video card in the ~$200 range. I bought one in August 2011 and it still handles everything I throw at it. I might not play the most demanding games though - I often play games like Unreal Tournament 3, Duke Nukem Forever, Portal, Portal 2, Civilization V, and Minecraft. When I bought this card, my PC (at the time) had an Intel Core i7-2600 CPU, 8GB of DDR3-1333 RAM, and an ASRock P67-Extreme4 motherboard, and with Unreal Tournament 3 I got about 62fps at 1920x1080 and 63-64fps with Duke Nukem Forever. I've since put faster RAM in my PC (DDR3-1600) and a faster processor (Intel Core i7-3770K) and this video card is still chugging along with the high frame rates.

If you're into scientific computing (for BOINC projects such as SETI@Home, Milkyway@Home, etc.), this card is compatible with some of such projects. Running SETI@Home v7 7.00 for Nvidia, this card can go through a work unit in about 6-15 minutes.

Also, the card is quiet, even though it has 2 fans. Its temperature seems good - Mine runs at around 37C when idle and 57-60C when under a load.

This card also has 2 DVI ports, which is nice if you want to use 2 monitors and have a high-quality picture on both. With the DVI port, you could probably also use a 3rd monitor.

This card is also capable of SLI. I recently bought a 2nd one of these cards to work together with my first one in SLI mode for even more video power. Installing the 2nd card was a breeze - After I put it in and powered on my PC, the Nvidia driver automatically detected it and configured itself to use both of the cards. Now I can run 2 Nvidia-bound BOINC tasks at the same time, and games run very fast as expected.

Cons:
The HDMI port on the card is a mini-HDMI port, so you need to use an adapter (included) to plug in an HDMI cable.

The card is a bit longer than a lower-power card. You'll need to have adequate room in your PC case and no parts on your motherboard preventing this card from being installed. Also, even though the card uses up just one slot, it takes up the space of 2 slots due to the cooler. These things are normal for high-end video cards though.
