i would chose GTX570 as on low budget
or better get GTX580

but i would wait till the release of GTX590, so pricess will come bit down

best of luck

How bout the new 560ti and maybe sli that? The 570 and 580 are good choices too. Do you wanna stick with nvidia or is AMD a choice? ;)

I would really look at the GTX570; the fan is really quiet even at heavy load speeds & if you ever decided to overclock it, you would be able to do so with ease.
 
doing a small math your current SP's = 216+216 =432

an upgrade should in 1.5x the SP at minimum to be worth the upgrade

so you should look for not less than GTX 580 with 512 sp and the adde fetures may bring the performance to 1.5x

Best of luck from math perspective :)
 
I'm looking to upgrade from GTX260 c216 SLI as well. I haven't really ran into games that I can't play, there are a few that I can't max out of course(Crysis, Metro), but I have the upgrade itch. I'm going to be picking up a GTX580 in the next couple of weeks. I've usually gone with upper midrange bang for the buck cards, but I've decided I want a top of the line card this time around.

It would be nice if the GTX590 would come out and cause a price drop on the 580, I don't really expect that to happen though.
