This would have been better compared to another “normal” 560ti as anyone can go and look up how a card stacks up against another, but since you are reviewing what is considered a low-energy card why not do the review justice and show the performance and power draws against a 560ti from asus or msi? In my opinion this review did not really showcase what this card is being sold to do? All you did is line it up against two AMD cards and show that it can hold its own, but why not showcase it against its “twin” and show the power savings and any if at all performance loss? Until then I feel this has just been a wast of time to read and a waste of your time to put together.
