This Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti reference card in a retail box arrived today and it is absolutely as cool as it looked in the pictures.

This looks pretty neat! What era was that card from? I'm not very familiar with this time period of cards, so I have no reference point.

I know I can look it up but that's boring when someone passionate about their new acquisition probably wants to talk more about it 😛

Haha, fair enough. It's from 2011. Not as retro as most of the stuff here, but in January it'll already be 15 years old. It is an upper mid range DirectX 11 level card which was later given basic support for DX12 features via a driver update years later.

Nothing really all that special aside from the apparently rare Nvidia packaging and the fact that it is complete. Probably makes a solid card for a Windows XP build though. 😀

My first ATi Rage2+DVD PCI with 4MB, before i had only 2MB ones for PCI.
