ECS GeForce GTX 560 Black Review

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 has been around for a long time and you can find all sorts of variants on shelves by various manufacturers. You can buy one for anywhere between Rs.10,000 to Rs.13,000 and some of the differentiators are memory size (1GB and 2GB variants), video output, custom design and factory-overclocked GPU and memory.FeaturesAlthough quite late, ECS has recently added a factory overclocked variant of the GTX 560 to their mid-range graphics card line up. Just like their premium motherboards and graphics cards, they call this model the ‘Black Edition’. Sounds good, but the card doesn’t come across as something that would make jaws drop. In fact, it doesn’t boast of any bells and whistles. We expected a mean-looking card with a black PCB and a great custom design. But on unpacking, we found that the GTX 560 Black uses Nvidia’s reference design for the PCB and the cooler. The packaging looks really nice, but those who like good aesthetics would be disappointed with the plain vanilla design of the card.
