As far as i know the zotac is as fast as the gainward card and with 2 GB very cheap.
The only negative i read is it is very loud, maybe the saved on the cooling system.
If it does not matter for you , it is a good buy.

Found a review here for GTX560ti 2GB:

Seems very nice, not very loud, but still I dont get 1GB vs. 2GB same price issue.
I must be missing something... :?:

Oh, struggled with gainward, zotac and asus, seeing nothing against the 2GB cards.

That's correct, i.e. you would be able to use up to 512MB if you would use all three cards.

Will this change in future? Instead of using the lowest one ...

Tyrot, good question!
Would be cool if the rams could sum up :)

One question more regarding the graphic cards, GTX are all made for PCI slots.
My current motherboard Asus P5Q has an one PCIe 2.0 slot and 3 x PCI slots.
This PCIe 2.0. slot, is this an "up-to date" or already an old unusable slot for GTX cards?
Thanx again :)

@tyrot, No, the whole scene has to fit in to all gfx cards, so the smallest one limits the other cards.
It is to slow to transfer the data between the cards, you loose the performance of real GPU renderer.
@picajol, The PCIe 2.0 is the fastest slot today.
I had to buy a new case because of the size these cards are, take a ruler before you buy something. :D
