560 Ti or 570

Ok, I get my taxes back soon so it's time to update my graphics card. I have a 250gts right now and it plays pretty well at 1440x900 resolutions. I got Battlefield 3 at launch and my PC barely runs it. I haven't actually played it in months because it's barely playable. Now with TW2, Arkham City and Skyrim it runs just fine. For my next card I want something that can run BF3 properly and be decently priced. I am willing to pay under $400 right now but I am also willing to SLI at a later time.

I am looking at two cards right now.

This 560 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051778S4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER and

this 570 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130595.

I think the 560 is great because of the price but I'm worried that I'll lose performance vs the 570. What I would like to know is if I will actually see a big difference in fps or requirements. It is also important that if I go to a higher resolution monitor that I won't see huge drops in fps. So thanks in advance.

I have the gtx 560 ti and it is a very good card for running games like bf3, ultra and high combo settings. The upgrade to the 570 really depends on how much extra money you have. For a game like bf you may only get 10 more fps from the 560 ti, which can make a difference. But is it really worth the extra?KamikazePanda25

It depends upon how much r u willing to shell out.. Though 560ti wud run ur games at maximum for the time being.. 570 is obviously faster...

Save the money n buy 560Ti..

Overclocking is a hard as learning how to print your name. Add 10% to core clock on msi afterburner and tinker with volts to get it stable if necessary. Get the 448 core I say.

For the money I think I'll be getting the 560 ti and I'll try overclocking it as well.

Not trying to ninja a thread by any means, but how good are SLI 570's?kris9031998

That plus the 560 ti single card. I run on ultra, 4xfsaa, 16xfsaa at 1680x1050 at 40-60FPS. SLI FTW for BF3. 1680x1050 is native for my monitor.

I hate overclocking, it scares me too much. Almost anytime I have tried it, just increasing the clock by a few Mhz has resulted in something going wrong on all of my builds. OCing is just a waste of time becuase you have to risk your expensive hardware.

560 ti seems to be a real good card that most people really like. I have heard great things about the zotac amp edition and I think it's fairly cheap at newegg.

The 6870 has about the same performance as the 560 Ti, and is like up to $50 less.
