I have 2 gtx 560s in SLI (non TI). Last I checked they put out numbers close to a gtx 580. But, they lack the ram to let lose AA in games like BF3. The cards run fine but a tad hot and overall I am happy and could hold off....

The thing is:

1. I want to play Tomb raider and Bioshock and that comes out to 120ish.
2. I like the numbers of the 7870 xt at the price point of $210.00
3. The 7870 XT (7930) has the ram that I am missing and comes with the games free.
4 So would you spend 80ish bucks to trade in 2 560s for one 7870 XT or keep things as is and just get the games.
