Hi to all and thanks for help
So i have an old rig and i don't want to buy a new one but only change my graphic card.
My configuration is:
Case: Thermaltake kandalf with 25cm fan full tower
PSU:Enermax infinity 720w
MoBo: Asus Rog Maximus Formula SE
RAM:4bg 2x2gb Geil 1066mhx OC 1333mhz
Cpu: Q6600 3,2ghz
GPU: gts8800 xfx 640mb
Screen: Samsung syncmaster 26"
all cooled with thermaltake bigwater 745 1x Radiator 240x120 + 1x 12x12

The system have low temp like 16-20 C° so a bigger and heater new card is not a problem and i think do some oc more with the cpu.

I readed a lot about bottleneck with the q6600 and the new gtx series but nothing with benchmark or some spreadsheet.
Someone think that a gtx570 is a waste of money but i m not sure that a 560 is enough for 1920x1200.
wich take?and i need to OC more the cpu?

Sorry for my rusty english and thanks for help me.

Get the 560 Ti, either the stock or superclocked version (you can overclock the cards) and it will run pretty much all the games I play (Crysis 2, Rift, Portal 2, ect.) at max setting at 1920x1200 and I am running an e6750. if you can't stand some FPS drops once and a while at the maximum settings on those games and still feel the need to run everything at max, go with the 570. The extra VRAM is nice for that. Otherwise, the 560 Ti is good enough until Ivy Bridge and the new Nvidia cards come out.
