ASUS GTX560 DirectCUII TOP Graphics Card Hands-on Review

JJ from ASUS unboxes the new ASUS GTX 560 DirectCU II TOP dual-fan graphics card. We dissect the cooling assembly to reveal the copper heatpipes and special care that goes into making this one of the coolest, quietest, and most reliable graphics cards on the market.

Love the card. "Driver has stopped responding", high temps even on lowered clocks and freeze with artefacts it a normal day of my card. Reading that most DCII and "TOP" series card have same problem starts me thinking...

my super alloy chokes on my 6950 DCUII that are supposed to operate noise free are whining like mad even at 60 FPS

@ASUSIlluminati Don't feel bad... I've done it too.

One of the fans on my ASUS GTX 560 is making a squeaking sound when it turns. It sounds like something that a bit of precision oil would fix. Does anybody have a suggestion for what I should do? I'm nervous about tearing down the unit and what oil I should use. Thanks!

Yeah the titan is crap, but it's a full pc, i was talking about a real good case, for example they could partner up with corsair and make a ROG themed case or a whole new case

Great video and thanks for all the info. Going to build my new system around this card. Also, you look good, forget what " clasesocial" that lives in his mom's basement eating Cheetos says. I doubt he even knows what the word exercise even means. Keep up the good work, appreciate all the info that is always given. Can't wait to see you do another video.

Love the video and Asus, but I'm just puzzled by the sticker in the bottom of that card, saying GTX 560 Ti, but the card is(?) GTX 560. Any explanations for this?

[Shirow]

I'm getting 40C idle 82C load with the 560Ti card, which seems to be around 20C more than the norm. Anyone have any suggestions?

[BikerBry]

Holy smokes! Look at all the TIM on the heatsink! - Good to see an ASUS guy stab the PCB with a screwdriver! LOL

[jandevocht]

I ask myself, i have the non-top version of this card. Is there a diffrence in build quality? Did they left somme hings off?

[eyihrspinntdoch]

had my card replaced now with a 7870 from sapphire ... its all quiet now

[camperzbware]

is it worth it spending an extra $64 for a 560ti?

[Clanklt]

I'm going for this card, a good choice? :)

[lalomean]

I wont ask for just the card I want the whole setup haha!

[name-znuu]

this card is a whorkhorse..have had it for two years..can run most games on ultra..

[DeViLzzz]

Get tired of looking for info. on old video cards and finding unboxing videos. Thank goodness that sort of thing is pretty much dead now. All people want to see how cards perform.

[kaaaaaaaaavi]

No difference in anything but clock speeds.
