Would it make a difference on my fps and the graphics i run my games at if i replace my GTX 560 TI 1GB with a GTX 650Ti 2GB

GTX 560 TI
8GB RAM
AMD PHENOM X6 1055T proccessor
ASUS M4N68T-M V2 motherboard
650w psu

or should i get something else instead of a new graphics card?

Actually no, your 560ti its still good enough for todays gaming, the gains of a GTX 650ti are very little if not null... I would say that the power consumption is only thing that the GTX 650ti will be better...

If you really need/want a FPS increase on modern games, you should be looking for High end cards, as HD7950 and GTX 660ti or higher... But at this time, your card will run all games out there at 1920x1080 with High or even Ultra Quality, so upgrading will be a good idea in the next months when the new series of cards come out, so then a mid range card as may be the HD8870 or GTX760 will be noticeable upgrades for you....

Cheers! :)

Yes, you will be able to run all games on ultra with no hiccups, its a solid performer. Yoy can get it now, and when the new series come out, the prices may lower and you can grab another one to do SLI and therefore get about 70% of more performance in some games... Its just an idea...

Also, if I were you, I would hold 2 months or so, to see what nvidia and amd will launch.... Anyway, if you are going to buy a GTX660ti now, just enjoy it!
