bump?!

Save your money and just get a second GTX 560 Ti. Especially when given a nice OC two of those in SLI should have no problem with any game at max settings at 1080p. The difference between that and the options you listed will be negligible.

Really? A bump after 8 minutes?

If you're that impatient, get the 580s - clearly you need the fastest thing you can possibly buy.

It's a 560, not a Ti, and I am building a new system, so should I recycle it? I really want 570s or something in that class SLid/CFXd

EDIT: and what about 3X 6950s?
