I had the exact same GTX260 and I consider my GTX560Ti to be a big step up. You should consider TR's recent article on the 448 core GTX 560 Ti before you buy - even if the launch only brings down prices on other cards.

What games do you play and at what resolution?

I usually do 1920x1200. I'm trying to play Skyrim maxed out everything and eventually Mass Effect 3.

Do you think they will lower the price on the 560 for blackfriday? Trying to catch a good deal.

At that resolution, I would go with either a 560/ti or a 6950 1GB, depending on whichever deal is better. If you are in the US, slickdeals.net will be invaluable to you.

Aim higher imo! Maybe pricing is different here in Denmark, but I'm really happy with my recent Geforce 570 (upgrade from geforce 275), and it wasnt that much more expensive considering the alternatives.

I had this weird idea before that playing in 1024x768 was "good enough", but now that I have upgraded and tried playing in 1920x1200 on my 24" , i dont think I could go back
to lower resolutions.
