The card features Nvidia's GTX 560 GPU with 384 CUDA cores, and works at 950MHz for the GPU, 1900MHz for shaders and packs 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4200MHz and paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. The reference model was clocked at 822/1645/4008 so it is pretty clear that MSI's GTX 560 Ti Hawk is something special.
MSI completely redesigned the PCB so you are looking at GTX 560 Ti GPU with a PCB that has 8+1-phase power design, Military Class II components, Active Phase Switching and edge support so there is no PCB bending and voltage read points. The card support VDDCI voltage adjustment in case you are looking for some additional overclocking potential.
MSI went all the way with this card and has used its latest Twin Frozr III dual slot cooler. It features a nickel plated copper base, four copper heatpipes (two 8mm ones) and has two 80mm PWM fans with new Propeller design blades. Back at Cebit we had a chance to check out the Twin Frozr III we noticed something that wasn't on the TF II, a small heatsink that covers the VRM and memory modules.
The card features all the regular outputs, two DVI and one mini HDMI and should start to appear in retail/e-tail pretty soon.
