Just wondering if it's worth upgrading from my older GTX 260 (the older edition of this, not the newer one) to a GTX 560 OC for Battlefield 3?
The GTX 560 OC I have in mind is this one, which I hope is OK: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Product...34482(ME).aspx
The rest of my rig is:
AMD Phenom II 965 BE 3.4 Ghz Quad-Core
4 GB Patriot Sector 5 (G-Series) PC-10666 1333 Mhz DDR3
Older Enermax 535W PSU (http://ncix.com/products/?sku=15772)
Windows 7 32-bit

UPDATED!
Dang.
So I tried the new GTX 560 with BF3, and on 1080p, it runs OK at Low-Medium settings. But it's almost like I'm thirsty for MORE! If I were able to return this card, would it make sense to go for the GTX 560 Ti at $190 (basically, $40 to go from non-Ti to Ti)?
Another question though! While I'm still within my return period, I did find a Geforce GTX 560 Ti for $189.99. So basically, a $40 upgrade to get the Ti-version of the GTX 560.
It is this one, cheapest Ti I could find, but it seems to run at a lower clock speed than some of the other Ti's I've seen:

What do you guys think, worth it or not?
Thanks again guys.
