For our GeForce GTX 560 testing, we received a sample from Palit. The “Sonic Platinum” label indicates that this card is the fastest version among Palit’s GTX 560 variants. It has 900 MHz core frequency and 4200 MHz memory clock. This speed is achieved using 1 Volt of electricity.

Sales Package and Contents

Here’s how the package box of Palit GTX 560 Sonic Platinum looks like:

The front side is dominated by the picture of a motor engine, which appears to have become a common design element of Palit’s graphics card boxes. Thanks to its purple color theme, it looks somewhat more elegant compared to the package box of Palit’s other products.

The bundled accessories consist of:

• A Quick Installation Guide
• A Driver Disc
• And a Molex to 6-pin power converter
