OP,the 560ti can play any game you can throw at it with ultra settings(all the AA and AF in the world) but it can do that at 1360 x 768,ideally, but at ~1600 x900 resolutions and at those settings it will struggle a bit in some games(very few),but games will still be playable.i own it and regularly play crysis(heavily modded for extreme graphics),crysis 2 ,batman arkham city etc. and it gives the least frames in crysis with mods.at 1360 x 768 in crysis,it gives me avg 50 and min 30 fps(in areas with big firefights),and arkham city also performs the same with all the candy turned on and at the same res.crysis 2 is relatively easy to handle with min 45 fps and average 60+ at the same res.Dirt 3 can be maxed at 1080p.i think crysis 2 can be maxed out at 1080p(havent tried it yet),and all the other moderately intensive games,but arkham city and crysis will have to be played at a little lowered settings at 1080p,also since 560ti has physx support and similar performance to 7850 ,i would personally choose the 560 over 7850.
