On the other side, the NVIDIA Quadro K2200 leads by 0.7% with 10,761, and the AMD Radeon Pro 450 leads by 1.1% with 10,804. This grouping shows the GTX 560 Ti sits in a competitive bracket where small percentage swings determine rank.

The TITAN V CEO Edition presents a more complex picture. Its average benchmark score is 9,037, which is lower than the GTX 560 Ti's average, yet its individual tests tell a different story. The TITAN V CEO Edition scores 16,988 in Passmark G3D, a strong result, but also records a low Passmark G2D score of 1,086, which drags its average down. Despite the higher G3D score, the overall average places the TITAN V CEO Edition in the 45th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 at 9,022, just 0.2% behind, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 at 9,058, which leads by 0.2%. The AMD Radeon 890M scores 9,210, leading by 1.9%, while the AMD Radeon 550X trails by 1.3% with 8,918.

The data shows a significant spread in benchmark methodology. The GTX 560 Ti's single OpenCL score of 10,690 is consistent and reflects a mature driver stack for that test. The TITAN V CEO Edition's Passmark G3D score of 16,988 is roughly 59% higher than the GTX 560 Ti's OpenCL figure, indicating substantially stronger raw graphics performance in compute-heavy workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on fundamentally different architectures and process nodes. The GTX 560 Ti uses the GF114 chip based on the Fermi 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 40 nm process at TSMC. The TITAN V CEO Edition uses the GV100 chip based on the Volta architecture, fabricated on a 12 nm process, also at TSMC.

Transistor counts reveal a massive generation gap. The GF114 packs 1,950 million transistors on a die size of 332 mm², resulting in a transistor density of 5.9 million per mm². The GV100 contains 21,100 million transistors on a die size of 815 mm², giving a density of 25.9 million per mm². The TITAN V CEO Edition has roughly 10.8 times more transistors and a density 4.4 times higher.

Memory architecture differs completely. The GTX 560 Ti has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 128.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The TITAN V CEO Edition has 32 GB of HBM2 memory on a 4096-bit bus, providing 868.4 GB/s. That is roughly 6.8 times more bandwidth and 32 times more capacity. Memory clocks also differ: the GTX 560 Ti runs at 1,002 MHz (4 Gbps effective), while the TITAN V CEO Edition runs at 848 MHz (1,696 Mbps effective), though the wider bus negates the lower clock speed.

Compute resources are orders of magnitude apart. The GTX 560 Ti has 384 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The TITAN V CEO Edition has 5,120 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 128 ROPs. The TITAN V CEO Edition also includes 640 tensor cores, a feature absent from the GTX 560 Ti. This translates to a pixel rate of 13.17 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 52.67 GTexel/s for the GTX 560 Ti, versus 186.2 GPixel/s and 465.6 GTexel/s for the TITAN V CEO Edition.

FP32 compute figures highlight the gap: the GTX 560 Ti delivers 1,263.4 GFLOPS, while the TITAN V CEO Edition delivers 14.90 TFLOPS, roughly 11.8 times higher. The TITAN V CEO Edition also supports FP16 at 29.80 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, which the GTX 560 Ti does not offer. Power draw scales with capability: the GTX 560 Ti has a TDP of 170 W, while the TITAN V CEO Edition has a TDP of 250 W. The GTX 560 Ti uses 2x 6-pin power connectors and a suggested 450 W PSU, while the TITAN V CEO Edition uses 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin and a suggested 600 W PSU.

API support differs as well. Both support DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6, but the GTX 560 Ti's DirectX feature level is 11_0, while the TITAN V CEO Edition reaches 12_1. The TITAN V CEO Edition also supports Vulkan 1.4, whereas the GTX 560 Ti has no recorded Vulkan support. The GTX 560 Ti uses PCIe 2.0 x16, while the TITAN V CEO Edition uses PCIe 3.0 x16.

The Verdict

The data paints a clear picture for different use cases. The GTX 560 Ti, with an average score of 10,690 and a 49th percentile rank, is a competent legacy card for older workloads and lighter 3D tasks. Its single OpenCL benchmark result of 10,690 is competitive within its immediate rival group, where margins are under 1.2%. For users constrained by power delivery, the GTX 560 Ti's 170 W TDP and 450 W suggested PSU are modest compared to the TITAN V CEO Edition's 250 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU.

The TITAN V CEO Edition, despite a lower average score of 9,037 and a 45th percentile rank, demonstrates superior raw 3D capability with its Passmark G3D score of 16,988. This score is about 59% higher than the GTX 560 Ti's OpenCL result, and the architecture supports modern features like tensor cores and Vulkan 1.4. However, the low G2D score of 1,086 suggests this card is not optimized for 2D or desktop compositing tasks, and its average score suffers accordingly.

For a builder prioritizing modern compute, tensor core workloads, or high-bandwidth memory applications, the TITAN V CEO Edition is the obvious choice from the recorded data. For those seeking a simple, lower-power card with a higher average benchmark score and legacy compatibility, the GTX 560 Ti holds its ground. The choice hinges on whether the workload is 3D-heavy or general-purpose, as the average scores alone do not tell the full story.
