@SinghKing: I previously had 2x 9800GTX+ and I can tell you now, the 560 is a worthy upgrade, even more so from 1x 9800GTX+. The extra VRAM allows you to really crank up the eye candy and AA. The performance boost was very noticeable for me, as I game on 1920x1200. You won't be disappointed.

That's what I did, I had a GTX460 768MB before scoring a GTX560OC Ti. I didn't feel like selling the GTX460, and since my mobo has 2x PCIe x16 slots (runs at 8x each when both slots are used) I figured, "Why the heck not?!". Sure, not many games use PhysX (which is dying a slow death, if you have a spare nV card (like your 9800GTX+), go for it!
well yea unigine is dual core aware anyway,.. like you saw there is no difference going from dual to quad, but in games that fancy quads its a different story :nerd:
Well I went from a 18.3 fps to a 41.7 fps in Heaven going from my 9800GTX+ to the GTX570.... so nice increase for me.
Woww eaziii.... Have u overlocked ur CPU? It seems that the 9800GTX+ was very popular back in the day... this upgrade seems a common trend
The CPU is bumped up a little , I've got it water cooled so I could push it if I want to but I don't see the need or have the desire to mess with it. Here are my Heaven tests Test 1 9800GTX Test 2 GTX 570
You can wait all your life and the chances are there will be something even better lurking on the horizon... As it stands the 560Ti represents the best bang for buck Nvidia GPU out there. As long as you feed it well with a speedy CPU it will dance circles round your 9800GTX+.
even tho my computer is not up to much (until it get sorted) i can tell you at the moment i noticed a big difference in my game play! i came from a BFG 9800gtx (water cooled and over clocked) to a KFA2 560Ti i will say GET ONE!
