    2gb GTX 560 ti vs. 1.2gb GTX 570

    Which should I get? I'll be playing WoW, SC2, Diablo 3, BF3, probably MW3, and more MMOs

    1920x1080

    <3 you all

    570. 2GB 560 would only be useful if you were using a massive resolution setup.

    2GB is worthless unless you're playing at high resolutions (much higher than 1920x1080). Just get a regular GTX 560 or an HD6870 and be done with it. Both will run everything you want to play on high/ultra @ 1920x1080.

    And to be completely honest, if you're running a massive resolution setup, why are you using nVidia anyway? :P

    I know someone running three of those 2500x1600 Apple screens (yea, the 900$ ones). He runs it with a 6970 crossfire setup, works much better than the Nvidia cards he had before. Crossfire scaling, at least the last generations, has been amazing.

    try 3WAY SLI 3GB GTX580 =P ... at massive resolution gtx580 are bottlenecked by their stock 1.5gb VRAM but with the 3GB version its another story. Some1 on overclock.net did that test and showed us some benchmark. The 3WAY SLI was better than 3WAY 6970 but not by that much ... in other word it didnt really worth the extra money.

    That wouldn't be a bottleneck until you get to MASSIVE resolutions...

    Even so, two 6950s or 6970s in Crossfire can drive 6+ monitors and not bottleneck all that badly... but they will still bottleneck a little bit.

    None!
    Get the GTX560 SOC and with the rest of the money, go get drunk/laid/have fun whatever!

    Why would you get a 560? 570 > 560, and can still be overclocked...
