There have already been rumours suggesting that NVIDIA is working on a vanilla GTX 560 SKU - one, which drops the Titanium (Ti) suffix.
Word now has it that NVIDIA has apparently pencilled in May 17th, as the day to usher in its newest arrival.

As for exact specifications, the picture is still somewhat hazy. Barring a point of contention suggesting that the GTX 560 will debut with core speeds exceeding 800MHz, it is suggested that our conjecture in the above table should give a good feel of things.
It would be reasonable to assume, of course, that more titbits will surface as the rumoured launch date draws nearer.
