The 560 is about as low as you can go on the Nvidia side if you are looking for a gaming card, yes, but it would be a significant step up from the GTX 260. It's close to 30% better than a GTX 460 at 1080p, so considerably better than a GTX 260 (on the order of 60%).

I have been reviewing the charts. And it seems like benchmark wise, an upgrade from my GTX 260 starts at the 560 in the 500 series cards. But only just barely.
Its going to be a more than barely. I would not go with two GTX 260. Maybe just wait some more for Nvidia's next gen?

How is the 560 around 30% better than a 460 (1GB I assume) when its very similar apart from clock speed which is 20% faster? Or maybe you are thinking of the Ti version? But I do agree that a 560 is the about minimum I would recommend for a good gaming card. Maybe a little lower for people with sub 1920x1080 and no intent of upgrading soon or that play less (visually) demanding games.

Yeah, you're right - I was assuming Ti.

OP, you really need to list ALL of your other specs in detail including resolution when asking for help like this.
in general, I would say the gtx560ti 448 is the lowest card to go for at 1920x1080/1200 if you want to play all the latest games at or at least close to highest settings. no way would I fool with gtx260 SLI at this point.
