What's great about it: Price/quality, handle overclocking, stays cool, works perfect
What's not so great: Loud fan when running above 60% fan speed, SWTOR makes it get REALLY hot.
Great card, handles overclocking up to 1200mhz on the core using the EVGA Precision tool with little heat problems and stays very stable.
Plays top end games at the highest setting with a marginal drop in fps even without the OCing. Though just a note, SWTOR seems to make it heat up to 80c for no apparent reason, reviews from people more knowledgeable then me say it can handle those temps, I just don't like them that high.
Had to reset the CMOS to get it to work, not a big deal though, was just the first gfx I had ever installed and didn't expect that.
Over all, Im very glad I got this instead of the GTX 590 I had been looking at.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Value for money
What's not so great: Not as quick as its bigger brother
The 560 is a great gaming card for the price. I didn't have the money for a 570 or 580, But the 2Gb on this do offset the slower speed a little so all in all it works well.
Playing BF3 at Ultra on almost all settings with little to no stutter in game.
Factory OC is very stable. The OC tools that come with it let me play a little, so I got a few more fps. Don't be tempted to overdo it though as it will crash if you push it too far.

What's great about it: 2GB GDDR5
What's not so great: Still an expensive card despite how long it was been around.
I first have to admit that odell123's comment worries me as my graphics card has also reported the "driver has failed // recovered" ordeal a couple times as well. So long as this is not a repeat issue, I believe it can be passed off as a driver glitch. Just be aware of this to those who already own this card.
Otherwise very happy!

What's not so great: My particular video card had problems.
Installed video card , after several days screen would go dark after 15 seconds and it would recover, it would do this 15-20 times a day., Also sometimes after crashing would say "video driver has failed and recovered". I installed the latest drivers. Evga is known for good video cards and service, apparent ly I got a bad one. I reinstalled my old video card and returned Video card. I am a very experienced in computers, been my hobby for 35 years.

What's great about it: Price, easy set up, 2GB!
What's not so great: Nothing
I am coming from a EVGA GTX 260 OC edition that I got a few years ago and I decided it was time to finally update. When I seen this on sale the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 with 2GB at this price! I had to get one.
Games look great and I am please. I first tried out a simple game like Sonic Generations which ran as smooth as butter, did a few benchmarks like Lost Planet 2 which gave good frame rates on my PC. Then came GTA IV which ran everything MAX! and still had 35 FPS and mind you I have a older Gaming PC (still using Intel Core 2 Quad) Next up I will try Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. While I don't have the best gaming PC it does do what its intended for and won't upgrade to the i5 or i7 just yet.

What's great about it: Amount of on board memory
What's not so great: Could be cheaper
While the cuda count is lower vs their Ti brethren the 560 series by evga has been fantastic. I am running 2 in sli and have seen 30-40 percent increases in frame rate vs my older quad ati 5670 crossfire setup. I would recommend these cards heavily for a home pc gaming enthusiast.

What's not so great: NO MINI HDMI CABLE BUT YET CHEAPER EVGA CARDs HAVE THEM
We all know EVGA are good cards but with this packaging i am only giving it 3 stars simplyt because it does not include Mini HDMI cable. Lesser priced EVGA cards come with MINI HDMI but not this one. Expect to pay a minimum extra 20 dollars for the cheapest mini hdmi cable. SHAME ON EVGA FOR NOT INCLUDING THIS We shouldnt haver to pay even more money top use the hdmi card when the 550 1gb package comes with mini HDMI and it is 60 bucks cheaper then this card??
Had I known their was no mini hdmi cable in package i probably wouldnt have bought this as the 550 1gb comes with cable. Makes me angry when manufactures do this it is no different then the hidding the true cost they didnt tell you about. Now that i got that off my chest I am off to fry's to buy a mini hdmi cable that i shouldnt have had to purchase in the first place.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: nothing so far
This graphics card does everything i need it to do. I upgraded from a ge force gt440.Which i had only had for 47 days before i was unhappy with the quality and decided to go with this bad boy.With the 440 in when i played rift i could play on modified high graphics(no shadows or water textures) at about 35fps. With the 560 on ultra ultra settings (there ultra doesn't have everything up so you gotta do manually) I'm not dropping bellow 45fps. Runs flawlessly no hiccups or lines blocks that i sometimes got with the 440 in. I would highly recommend this card to people if your on a budget but still want bang for your buck. I couldn't picture spending anymore on a card because honestly i cant see how my system could perform any better. Install was a breeze put it in hook the cords up and go to nvidia.com to dl driver. be gaming in 10 mins.

I just picked up one of these bad boys last night. I am running BFBC2 at max settings and resolution at 75 FPS. The card is quiet and I have had no issues. I can not wait to see what this will do on BF3.

Thank you Best Buy for selling EVGA ( they are the best!!!).
I bought two EVGA GTX-560 cards and run them in SLI mode and love it. They work great and I can max all of my computer settings with plenty of head room to spare. One card will be more than enough for the average user, but two makes it better.
The night I found out, Best Buy sells EVGA graphic cards, I couldn't help but buy one (actually two). This is the smartest move Best Buy could have made. Plus, the cards were in stock and ready for pick!!! No Waiting!!! I love it, can you tell?
