Right now, the EVGA GTX 570 Classified's are $349 after rebate. Arkham City is free with the purchase. Using a GTX 560 ti SC at the moment. Would this be a good move?

Thanks!
 
Doesn't seem it according to your percentages. However, a review I read had the 570 Classified OC'd to perform better than the 580. If that's do-able, then it would indeed be worth it.
 
That figure is for a standard GTX570 not the classified, but any GTX570 can be overclocked, not just the classified (And indeed, GTX560 Tis can be overclocked too) - the difference between a standard 560Ti and 570 is 8-10%. While a GTX580 can achieve 25% over a 560Ti, versus an overclocked 560Ti the difference is a lot less.
 
i wouldnt upgrade. when 570s are on sale they are around 269.

You could probably get an EVGA 580 in great condition for just a little more.
 
Don't bother upgrading to the 570 unless you plan to go Tri-SLI which is the main benefit for 570s.

The 560 Ti can be Overclocked to 570 levels EASILY... and SLI 560s would own the 570

They own the 580 as well according to reviews. Pretty big time too in some cases. Anyway, I went ahead and got a second one. Should arrive tomorrow. Thanks all!
 
Yeah a pair of GTX560 standards should be 25% faster than one GTX580, a pair of GTX560 Tis would be 45% faster, possibly more.
