560 Ti good for Guild Wars 2 / BorderLands 2?

Should I wait for Nvidia's new cheaper card or get something else for new Games...

A 560ti is good but it cannot run new games on ultra at high resolutions. What budget do you have?

I guess what I need. I've heard you don't need to spend $500 on a card. I wanted to play Diablo 3 and found out I didn't need a new computer. Now I have a Z77 Extreme6 and a 3570k in a box in my closet and I need to finish my first build... I'm hoping it will last me a couple of years. Thanks for the input.

I am in beta for guild wars 2 and yes this is only beta and the full game will probably be a bit more demanding for sure but i can run it on max settings on my pc with a 560 ti in it. like i said though the final release will most likely be more demanding then the weekend beta ver but no one knows until the system requirement are announced for the game. Also i would have to agree with pezonator that 560 ti is good but will not run all the new games on ultra. If i were you i would wait for the 660 ti instead of going for the 560 ti which will be replaced within the near future. Hope that helps.

The 560Ti can play BF3 maxed out with SSAO and no AA.
Borderlands is a great game and is easy to run, the 2nd installment should be very good on a 560Ti.

And this is exactly what you need to think of Andy. Sure the 560ti can run BF3 on Ultra but with no AA. It's my personal preference that I want AA turned on in my games. If you can pick up a 560ti on special, go for it, otherwise I would also wait for the 660ti or the 670 if you can afford it.

Thanks everyone... I'll wait for the new cards. Hopefully prices will drop by then to
