Well I've found that the cards in SLI don't scale very well right now because they're so new. They scale 95% in battlefield 3, but lower than 50% in all the other games i saw it tested with. I'll just have to give it a couple months before i make a decision. I'm fine with what i have for now, but this card looks like it can eventually be fantastic if they get SLI and TRI-SLI scaling to reach a maximum

There any real reason you want to sli or tri-sli?

What resolution you going to be gaming on? SLI on 1080p is pretty much overkill with those GPUs. If you're gaming over 1080p it would make more sense.

Upgrading is one of my hobbies and i like to be prepared for the future of gaming. My cards are currently running out of steam. I won't need to upgrade until 2013, I'm sure, but i still want to and this 560ti 448 looks promising. Check this comparison site out: http://community.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu

Check out the Game Performance with the 560ti 448 and compare it to the 460. Granted the 460 on there is not overclocked (I have FTWs) and it doesn't specify if it's the 1GB version or the 768MB version. But mine can't perform that much better. The 560 448 seems to be much better. I don't get a very good FPS with SLI disabled though, as you can imagine, it cuts my FPS in half in games that really utilize SLI (Skyrim & Arkham City don't seem to scale at all, but Arkham City is known to be broken all around)

How well does this card scale when in SLI? 460s and 560s scale around 80-90%. Is this card any different? I mean, if this beast scales to 80-90% and features tri-sli, then I'm entirely sold. 160-180%? I'll take it. Thanks for any replies. I want facts, not guesses

Just FYI if you go with the 2500k on my setup it runs way over 60 everywhere but in certian citys which are in the high 30's at there lowest points. I also second getting the 2500k over the 2600k. Most games dont use 4 cores yet let alone hyperthreading so i think its a non-issue. Save the hunderd bucks now or wait for ivy if you want to spend 300 bucks on a processor.

If you are going to upgrade to a Sandy Bridge, make sure you get the i5 2500k. It's 100mhz slower (at stock) than the 2600k and doesn't have Hyperthreading which nothing really uses anyway. Oh and it's $100 cheaper than the i7.Spike1988

No point of going from a 940 to Sandy BridgeMonsieurX

I've heard that a good Sandy Bridge setup can run Skyrim at max settings with 60fps and no slowdowns, since the game is so CPU-heavy. I have two GTX 460 FTW 1GB cards in SLI, but SLI isn't working in Skyrim with my Core i7 940. I've heard that SLI, in fact, works just fine with a Sandy Bridge for Skyrim. The only Sandy Bridges that I can find that interest me, all have built in HD Graphics Chips. Can I still use my 460s with those particular Sandy Bridges? Or am i limited to using the built in HD Chip? Here is a link to a Sandy Bridge that interests me: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-BlackFriday-_-NA-_-NA

Can anyone tell me which video card is better? I currently have two 1GB GTX 460 FTWs in SLI. They scale extremely well. I get a 90% FPS increase going from a single card, to SLI. How do the GTX 560s scale? I don't mean the 560 ti's, I mean the 560s. I want answers from personal experience and testing. If two GTX 560 2GB cards in SLI can get me 10-20 FPS better, then I'll make the upgrade. But if it's less than 10 FPS then it's not worth it
