Taipei, Taiwan (November 29, 2011) ― the new limited edition ASUS GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores DirectCU II features 448 CUDA cores instead of the regular 384. It gives gamers access to improved stability and overclocking with advanced DirectCU II cooling, resilient Super Alloy Power components, and the exclusive GPU Tweak tuning utility. With so many AAA PC games on the market, the new card presents a new golden standard.
More GPU-powered gaming goodness
The new limited edition GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores DirectCU II revamps the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 560 Ti GPU, going from 384 CUDA cores to 448, which compares very favorably with GTX 570 reference specifications, standing at 480 cores. The GPU clock on the new GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores DirectCU II runs at 732MHz, while the 1280MB of GDDR5 operate at 3.8GHz actual. The interface consists of a large 320-bit data bus. As such, the revised GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores DirectCU II offers noticeably better benchmarking and real world gaming performance compared to previous GTX 560 Ti versions.

Will likely only be here next year...
Price should be around R 3200-3500 for this Asus one, however I really would not buy any of Asus DirectCUII cards cause of what I have experienced with the GTX 580.
George S, what have you experienced?
The GTX 580 I got with a bent PCB and Fan Wedged into the metal cover(being unable to turn the fan with your finger), the heatsink was bent as well, and the box didn't even show any sign physical damage at all. The second card we got also din't look straight when installed, as if you tugged on the power cables and I said to myself that I will stay away at all cost.Originally Posted by VPII
You really get the feeling the PCB backplate is not for heat as Asus claims but to strengthen the card. These cards actually needs 4 Slots and not 3.
It is a pitty that you got two cards in such a poor state / quality. My past 4 graphics cards has all been of the apparent lesser name brand "Inno3d" when compaired with Asus or Gigabyte. I've had no problem and the same goes for the EVGA cards which I've used. I do however want to say that I prefer Asus motherboards to any other. I tried Gigabyte and MSI and although the boards were of good quality, they just did not give me what I was looking for when overclocking. Again, that is more my personal preference than saying the other brand is bad.
Lastly, I want to just mention that I've purchased hardware before and it seemed sealed but after opening it I could see that it was basically "second hand" which made me question the shop.
