GeForce GTX 560 vs GT 630

older Released December, 2011

EVGA GeForce GTX 560

900 MHz
1 GB GDDR5

Since GPU overclocking provides more performance gain than memory overclocking, overall overclocking potential is still good.

Released June, 2012

EVGA GeForce GT 630

810 MHz
1 GB GDDR5

I can't say the 630 blew me away, I knew it would run some games, but this card is just a really amazing value right now for a low end system running old and new games.

The onboard ram is fast of course and the fan seems sturdy enough.

With the GT630 WoW automatic settings set the graphics to high and I get 30-36 fps and the game play is much smoother (no jumping or lag from the graphics side).

GeForce GTX 560

50.4 GTexel/s

GeForce GT 630

I am not a gamer and some have said this in not the best choice for video games; that said, this is the first budget card I have had that will run the nVidia Human Head Demo smoothly which among other things I use a benchmark.

floating point performance How fast the gpu can crunch numbers

GeForce GTX 560

I needed this to be able to speed up some very graphics-intensive games and it does just that.

shading units Subcomponents of the gpu, these run in parallel to enable fast pixel shading

Keep in mind that these overclock settings may not work for everyone, I'd recommend not touching your voltage if it's your first time overclocking but only mess with the Core/Shader clock.

texture mapping units Built into each gpu, these resize and rotate bitmaps for texturing scenes
