Should I upgrade with my $200 budget?

Definitely try to get a bump higher than 7870. If you can get a deal for 7950. Nvidia wise 660 Ti or 760. Can sell the game coupons they come with, depending on time.

Alamat, GTX 660 and 7870 are not that substantial upgrades over 560 Ti. Get at least a 760 or 7950, preferably 7970.

with an average OC of 1100 - 1150 mhz you will double the performance of GTX 560 Ti and beat any golden GTX 760(1.3 ghz)

agreed with the 7950 option. $219 is a great price!

Still, you may not get quite that high OC, it varies. I have a 3L and I believe I got it at 1080 MHz core right now on 1.25V (stock) I had it a bit higher, like 1100-1150 in there, but it seemed kinda unstable after updating to 13.8 beta. Of course, it is a beta set, but I think an OC > 1150 on reasonable voltage is unusual for a 7950. If I were to guess an average, I would say 1050 to be more like it.

Thanks for the heads up guys! I will then get the 7950 to replace my GTX 560.
