I have the 560ti and it's a great card. just do not get the new drivers, get ones from the 280.xx whatever. the newest ones are causing random pink screen freezes, unless you run dual monitors. other than that its a great card, I get 125 fps avg on all games which is also where I capped it at. all games are running on highest setting so far.

MW3 is the newest game i have, and it runs that well also.

hope this helps. don't let the driver thing worry you if you like the card.

I also run max settings on all games, including Mass Effect 3, MW3, and Rage (Rage is awesome, btw.). I run at 1900x1200.

I have a xfx 6950 2gb for less than 180.00 us from tigerdirect. I run everything maxed out. If you are looking for sli or crossfire setup maybe go with a pair of gtx 460. check this site http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+460

The GTX 480 will perform better. The stock GTX 480 is about equal in terms of performance as the GTX 570. But the GTX 480 pulls a lot of juice from your Power supply than even a 580. And it runs pretty damn hot.
