With the GTX 460 gradually making its way into the $175 market and the HD 6870 hitting the $199 price point, NVIDIA needed a card that retailed for less than the GTX 560 Ti but offered much improved performance over GF104-based cards. To accomplish this, they took the GF114 core found in the GTX 560 Ti and did a bit of cutting. The result is the 336 core GTX 560 1GB...without the "Ti" moniker and boasting a price of just $199.
