    If you keep thinking like this you'll never buy any hardware.

    saw that...was going to reply about the comment that your psu couldn't handle it, but he and i were already warring in one thread...didn't feel right to take over another...you order one?

    to op...pretty decent performance increase for the 560 even more oc'ed or going with the 570...

    Do not run Furmark. It is a pointless application. You want to test stability? Just game with it.

    You certainly wouldn't regret upgrading to a 560

    I second this, and the card is often in there today only deals... I managed to get it for £185, but I've seen it as low as £179. The card is ace, runs cool and quiet!

    Scan definitely came through for me on this one, sorted me out on the 560Ti and I even got a free gaming keyboard as well.

    Top result scan and excellent service, thanks.

    For a stop gap, if your motherboard supports it, get a second hand GTX 275. Did the same with my GTX 280. 90% of my games ran much smoother especially Crysis
