Hello, I'm actually just about to head out for a new PC, really excited! However I'm a little stumped on which video card to purchase. I plan on gaming around the 16x10 resolution, currently playing WoW (definitely plan on playing it with highest settings with no frame lag:). In the future I hope to be playing Guild Wars 2 with decently high settings too, though I'm not sure if any specs have been released for that game. Out of 560Ti, 6870, and the 6950, which do you recommend? My only thing against the 6950 is the huge step up in price, but what do you guys think, is it worth the investment? Thanks!

I'm using a gtx 560 non ti myself which isn't in your options list but i game at 1600x1200 and sometimes 1920x1080 and it handled the game BC2 maxed out at 1600x1200 just fine as long as i disabled hbao.

I think BC2 is more demanding then your listed games so i think for your said resolution you could settle for a gtx460 which would be cheaper then any of the other options too :)

MSI GTX 560 TI HAWK @1680x1050 with everything maxed out AA and AF and even added 2x AA transparency in the settings panel (not in game). Framerate > 60 99% of the time... Oftentimes way above 60FPS

The MSI 560 ti HAWK is overclocked pretty heavily 822->950 MHz core.
