GTX 560 confusion

OK so I am looking to build a computer (I have another thread in the desktop computer section about it). Anyway I was originally plannning on getting a GTX 460 as these seemed to be good value (around £140), decent graphics cards. I was then told that they are getting a bit old now and to look at the 560s. Well these all seem to be around the £200 mark(out of my budget), however I found that these were GTX560 Ti, I have also found a few which are simply GTX 560, these are only about £150(Maximum I want to pay).

Therefore my question is, what are the differences between them? Is a GTX 560 much better than a GTX 460? How much better is the GTX 560 ti? is there any specific figures I can look at which tell me exactly how good a card is?

When I decided on the GTX 560, I looked at people on youtube testing them and thought it worked really well with the games I want to play (BFBC2 and CoD) however I just realised they were using a gtx 560 ti. I can't find videos of anyone using a GTX 560 which is why I am so confused. What is the difference?

Thanks
 
The 560 is a card released just a couple of weeks back. It almost matches with the 560 Ti. 560 is the way to go you can see the crysis test results below.
560 has a bit less cores than 560 Ti and less memory clock.

Alright, that's ok then. Thanks

I was just worried that the 560 would similar to the 460 and found very limited information online. Probably because it is so new.
 
Yes being new the search engine spiders show the results of 560 Ti
This is one unboxing video

Lets take this a step further for my benefit... Why would you buy this card over a 560 Ti? How does this stand up to the 6870? etc.
