Did they do something to this one from an original 560 or the 560 ti to make it $50 less?

edit: Less = less performance ?

SE basically means "suck edition"
810MHz Core clock, 1620MHz Shader clock, 256 bit 4008MHz memory, and 336 Cuda cores - GTX 560
776MHz Core clock, 1552MHz Shader clock, 192 bit 3828MHz memory, and 288 Cuda cores - GTX 560 SE
It's to sell chips that needed more clusters turned off to function.

it doesn't seem to even preform like a 7700 ? http://community.futuremark.com/hard...+560+SE/review

SE means Second Edition, or in some cases Special Edition, but its Second Edition in this case.

I Suppose its a rebadge of the GTX460 SE which i have, and sorry to tell you but it does NOT suck.

For that price its a pretty damn good deal, hell my 460 SE was 150 when i got it like a year or 2 ago and handles everything i throw at it, even BF3 at high settings.

a gtx560 se is just a cut down gtx560 with 288sp and 192bit bus. overall its basically dead even with a 7770. in BF 3 though its much faster so if that game is important then a gtx560 se is decent card. other than that one game, a 7770 makes much more sense as its way more efficient and cheaper.

I don't know about cheaper, but.. same price range? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161402

MSI 7770 GHZ edition $110 after MIR

Works out cheaper than any of the 560 se's on Newegg right now. Not a massive difference, but cheaper non the less.

As you thought Rodger, yes it's slower. SE= Slow Edition as some like to joke, but it's very true. Or to be more accurate, "Slower Edition". It is weaker than a regular 560.

All right. We seem to have established it's a bad "medium range" card with the need to still shell out for a 560 or 560ti instead .
