We didn’t actually expect any wonders from the GeForce GTX 560 Ti SLI configuration, especially after our tests of a GeForce GTX 570 SLI setup, but its results are quite disappointing anyway.

The tested SLI tandem is overall faster than the Radeon HD 5970 but this didn’t make any difference in any of the games. Moreover, the Radeon HD 5970 is an old product whereas a dual-chip Radeon HD 6900 series solution wouldn’t leave any chance to the hypothetic GeForce GTX 590 with two GF114 chips. We guess Nvidia’s future flagship card will be based on two GF110 cores, probably in the full configuration, like on the GeForce GTX 580, but with reduced clock rates to keep the card’s heat dissipation within reasonable limits.

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti SLI tandem is not an improvement over a single GeForce GTX 580, either, just as you can see in the summary diagrams.
