Over the past couple months I've been browsing Tigerdirect, Newegg and some other online retailers looking for a new video card. I want to upgrade from my GTX 460 SE which is having a hard time keeping up in games that I've recently purchased such as Skyrim, Saints Row 3 and Battlefield 3. I'm looking for a video card that will be well worth the investment, bringing a significant performance increase over my current video card. As of now I've steered towards the Nvidia 570 series, more so the EVGA Classified edition of the 570.The specs look amazing, the lifetime warranty is a keeper and it's nearly $150 less than the GTX 580.
Is the upgrade to a 570 worth it at this point? Is there a better price/performance option out there than the one I've found so far? I'd like to know what you guys think.
If you want to spend that much on a card, get the 7870. It blows the 570 out of the water, and uses much less power.
It's out already?

Also, how do you post a link that is clickable through text? I've been wondering this for a while
Thanks for reading.
Broodlords are like bacon: way too many is almost enough.
Cheaper than the 570, but performs nearly the same as a 570. I suggest this, mainly because the GTX570 is where the price:performance ratio drops.
After searching TigerDirect, here are the three best models for the 560 Ti 448.

*EDIT* Found reviews on the 570 and 560 Ti 448 Cores. Here they are getting tested on Metro 2033: The Last Refuge (DX11)

As you can see, the difference between the two is about a 1-2 FPS difference.

Nope, but they should be out by the end of this month, hopefully.
