Is it worth upgrading a GTX 560

[Lance Eichman]

I don't game in resolutions over 1680X1050. I have a i7-2600 and 16GB of ram in my box. I'm wondering if it's really worth upgrading the video card yet?

Not really, Considering lower resolutions are usually CPU dependent and you have a pretty powerful CPU. Until you get up into 1080P i wouldent worry about the GPU. Unless you can find a 7850 or 7870 on amd or a 660 or 660ti for nvidia for cheap dont worry about it. especially if you're getting decent fps

I'd dump that 560 in a heartbeat............... link the one you have.

Depending on how much money he has it might be better to wait. But if he has over 200$ id say go for it. 7870's are 200 flat and the new R9 series cards and 760's can be had for a little more.
