I already have 1 GTX 560. I want better performance. Should I get a EVGA GTX 580 or just buy another EVGA GTX 560 and SLI them? 😕 I don't know what would be better. Below are the specs for the one I have. My screen resolution on my monitor is 1920x1080.

If you don't like anything AMD has to offer then just wait a bit and see where the gtx 670 comes in at. I don't think the 580 is good value and I'd rather have one current gen GPU as opposed to 2 last gen ones.
 
1 card solution is always preferred. I hope you're not thinking about buying a new gtx 580 though. At those prices I would wait for the gtx 670.
 
when is the gtx 670 comming out?

I'm not against ATI I just heard that some games are designed for nvidia cards and you can't see certain effects unless you have an nvidia card.

I don't have a clue though. Thats just something I heard. If it's true then I prefer nvidia. If it's not then point me towards a Ati card that can perform much better then my EVGA GTX 560 that I'm dissapointed in.
