560ti is really your only option aside from the 460 which is struggling to push 1080p with modern games these days. So now you are at the point where you make a decision. You sacrifice a lot of Adobe performance for games to run smoothly, or sacrifice gaming performance for better Adobe performance.

haha... well the 570 is the best choice but i'll use a 560 as a placeholder until 570 prices fall.

There isn't enough difference between the 560Ti and the 570 to justify the purchase of both. Get the 560Ti or the 570 now (either or will work equally well for Adobe products) but then get a 670, or 770 or whatever is out later. When you think about it the 570 won't be a justified purchase unless it costs less than the difference between the 560Ti and 570. By the time the 570 drops within' that range you will see better cards with many new features for like $20 more.

Your basic plan is good though.

well you see, the big thing is if cs6 will support either CUDA or AVX, because if AVX is supported i'll see a big increase in cpu rendering but if i get CUDA then having AMD is obviously bad.

either way, i think i'll go with Nvidia, taiwanese pride XD
