So it all started when I accidentally bought the GTX460 768mb. Shoulda returned it and got the gig version, but whatever. I ended up getting another for SLI cuz they're cheap. I am wanting to max out settings on skyrim when it comes out and I'm considering getting a GTX570. Should I? Can I even max it out with one 570? How about with the two GTX460 789mb? :pfff: :pfff: :pfff: :pfff: :pfff: :pfff: :pfff: :pfff:

You are always going to get better performance with two cards vs one , so if you have two now keep them unless you plan to get two 570's in sli. You should be able to do quite well with what you have but there is always the unknown and a recent article in TomsHardware shows exactly that.

The reason is because of situations like what is written in this article. Now granted not everyone can afford to buy three 580's but I'm not saying that I can easily do that either , but I wanted to and eventually I did get them and they are going to have to be there for a while.
