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 comparing the MSI GTX 560 Twin Frozr II OC against the same line-up of cards we compared the Palit offering to. That means the MSI GTX 560 Ti and MSI GTX 550 Ti from NVIDIA and the HD 6790, HD 6850 and HD 6870 from AMD.

Let's get started!
