We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Don't, a GTX 560 can be easily overclocked to GTX 570 levels.Droid party wrote:Wow, I was considering getting a single gtx560.

I once spent a fortune on a PC with 4 fucking video cards in it. A few months later, it was obsolete. I learned my lesson. (>_<)
