For more specifications, please take a look at the Desktop Graphics Card Comparison Guide.
If you compare the specifications of the four cards above, it is obvious that the GeForce GTX 560 is far superior to the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. With a price difference of only US$ 50, this makes the GeForce GTX 560 a much better buy than the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. But if you are already using the GeForce GTX 460, it doesn't make much sense to upgrade despite the "higher" model number.
Custom SKUs
NVIDIA claims that the GeForce GTX 560 is rather overclockable. To prove their point, they released this slide which shows overclocked SKUs from their partners, with core clock speeds ranging from 850 MHz to 950 MHz. The GDDR5 memory clock speeds ranged from the standard 1001 MHz (4004 MHz QDR) to 1122 MHz (4488 MHz QDR).
