We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASRock, Kingston, Mittoni, Noctua and Corsair.

We'll be checking out the Galaxy GTX 560 Ti GC amongst a heap of other cards, but the few we really want to pay attention to is the MSI version of the 560 Ti to give us an idea of how much extra performance we get from the OC, while also looking at the AMD 6900 offerings which are here at both stock and overclocked.

Let's get started!
