check out the benchmark pages... with the aggressive OC 1000/2290MHZ the 560ti (1Gig) is on par and in some cases BETTER than the 570. and with the more reliable 950mhz OC its pretty much on par with the 570.

That's pretty awesome for a card that's 100 bucks cheaper than the 570.

Yes on a overclock to 1000 you can basicly match the 570 at stock speeds. The 570 on overclock however leaves the 560 in the dust and most everything else as well. But like you I am on a budget this time of the year, ( got to pay Uncle Sam greenbacks ) so the 560 appealed to me. Not sure how much of a bottle neck the Q9550 on a Asus P5K will be. But I am sure the 560 will smoke my old 9800gt. I am so looking forward to dropping it in tomorrow afternoon and trying a little over clocking to see what I can get it up to. When I get COD loaded I want to be setup and ready. Next year I will do a new build. And then I will go all out, who knows what will be out there this time next year?
