I just bought the EVGA GTX 560 SE from NCIX for $130 and I would like to know anybody's opinions and experience with it especially owners of it and how far it can be OCed but any commenting is welcome thanx in advance. Some games I play currently include RAGE, DOD Source, GTAIV, Mafia II, WoW, STALKER, Portal 2 as well as many others ;-)

you should have asked first before getting that card because it will actually only be equal to or even slower than your gtx275.

Well the GTX 275 does not OC at all not even a bit so if I can get a good strong OC on the GTX 560 SE will it be alright ? 3Dmark GTX 275 scores 2700 and GTX 460 SE scores 3200 both @ stock.

well a gtx275 and gtx460 768mb are overall dead even in games. your gtx560 se has slightly higher clocks than the gtx460 768mb but has 48 less sp and 8 less tmus though so its still slightly slower. and considering the 560 se already is clocked at 776mhz then i doubt you have much overclocking headroom. bottom line is that it is not really an upgrade at all at stock and even overclocked will likely be very little playable difference at all if any.

I would keep the GTX 275 and SLI it however the fact that it has no DX11 is a real bummer but it does still pull 60fps in Mafia II and 60fps in WoW, Deus Ex: Human Revolution runs 60fps, and some other games run very well so SLI 560 SE seem good to me GTX 580 class performance FTW!

Well turns out the GTX 560 SE is faster than my old GTX 275 plus it is less noisy, has less power consumption, runs cooler, has DX11, SM 5.0, all around nicer AA filtering and IQ.
