Don't listen to the people who are telling you not to SLI, they are probably jealous.

Of course adding another GTX560 Ti would be worth it but it depends on the rest of your computer (PSU, CPU, Motherboard etc)

A single GTX560 Ti gets around 50fps with "High" settings not "Ultra", at "Ultra" the fps will be less.

Two 560s in SLI get 80fps at "High" so on "Ultra" with SLI 560 Ti you should have no problem maxing it out with over 60 fps.

The very first thing you said in this thread was:

"Don't listen to the people who are telling you not to SLI, they are probably jealous."

I wasn't attacking your opinion. I was disagreeing with it, as I'm allowed to do, and explain why. What I was attacking was that YOU were insulting anyone who disagrees with you and telling the OP to ignore opinions different from your own. It was rude and inappropriate. You then proceeded to call me a hypocrite apparently because you think it is wrong for me to have or defend my opinion after suggesting that it wasn't appropriate for you to insult and dismiss it to begin with. I'm not and was never forcing my opinion on anyone or insulting anyone for having a different opinion. You keep calling me a hypocrite and fabricating that I'm doing what I complained you were doing when I have done nothing of the sort. I've been stating my view on the OPs question and before you said anything in the thread I specifically told the OP that he should try one card and make up his own mind. I've repeated that that is my advice more than once. There is nothing hypocritical about my comments.
Your statements that two cards are better than one is obvious. No one, including the OP I'm sure, needed you to tell them that. Four GTX 580s in SLI would be even better. He is obviously asking whether or not a second card is a worthwhile purchase and I've been responding to that question with my opinion which is based on rather extensive knowledge of the subject. If you think I'm "ignorant" note the "expert" below my name on the left; it's really not easy to get. I, just like anyone else, should be allowed to state my advice without you being insulting and dismissive. You started out in this thread by being rude and acting like your opinion should be considered fact. When greg said he agreed with me somehow you managed not to accuse him of jealously and stating that he should be ignored. You've also toned down the attitude in general so I guess some of what I've said has gotten through to you. If you could drop your inappropriate initial attitude with me as well I would appreciate it.
 
WOW everyone, Thanks for the responses. I really appreciate the feedback. After reading the replies, I am definatly going out and getting another card. I'm a firm believer in having more HP rather than less. Not to mention it makes your rig look RAD. For those who asked. here's my specs

Processor: i7 920 OC to 4 GHz (water cooled H70)
PS: 750 watts
RAM: 6 gig OCZ 13300 triple channel
MoBo: AS Rock Extreme 58x
GPU: (1) PNY GTX560 Ti OC
NZXT Tempest Evo Artic-Camo Mid-Tower Computer Case
Sound: integrated
Logitech G930 wireless headphones
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Elite Keyboard
 



Wise decision, I am glad you decided to get another card, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy your new set up mate.
 


That is debatable. Your "extensive knowledge" leaves a lot to be desired.



Its very easy to get, if you have no life. That does not prove you have any knowledge at all, all it proves is that you have too much time on your hands.



Respect is earned not given, and I have no respect for you.

As I keep saying you assume too much, you assumed all along the OP would agree with you.
 


Seeing as the OP has taken my advice and decided to get a second card, that isn't what I would call "derailing" the thread, but thanks for pointless post.
 

I NEVER assumed to OP would agree with me. You just make up things I didn't do or say and attack me for them because you don't like that I called you out for being rude. That one person agreed with your perspective on video card performance says nothing about our respective knowledge levels on the subject nor the glaring deficiencies in your personality and the way you communicate with those who don't agree with you.
