Make sure you get the 560 Ti and not the regular 560. The Ti is much faster.
I had that doubt about the difference between regular and Ti, since Viper hasn't mentioned.
Thanks!

Hopefully they release the most powerful chip for bleeding edge adopters first like they did with the 580.
They usually do. They released the GTX 480 (top of the line) and the GTX 470 at the same time, with the GTX 460 much later. Hopefully they also offer a higher memory card too. Take their GTX 580 for example:
Stock is 1536MB ($460): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130587
But you can get a 3072MB for about $100 more: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130655
I have an i7 2600K, 8gb and one Gigabyte GTX 570 SOC. Will it handle BF3 smoothly at 1080p or should I get another GTX 570?
Wait, 7xxx generation should be out soon enough, and a 5770 will run BF3 in the meantime. Conversely when they do come out, you might be able to get ahold of 2 6950's or 6970s for the price of one 7970(guess on the name, i have no idea what it'll be called).
yeah thats what i wanted to do, just wait... but i'm rather frightened by the idea of having to play bf3 on my 5770
^Nah, you'll be fine with 4. Games rarely ever use more than 2-3GB ram so no need to worry.
Even with my Win 7 OS?
I'll probably be selling my 6970s for 2 7970s come BF3/ME3/Skyrim, or adding a 3rd 6970 depending on how scaling works.
Shouldn't have bought the 2nd 6970 in the first place :\.
I want to be able to max BF3. I'm tempted to say 1 6970 or a GTX 570 should be able to run it on high with the candy turned off (AA, AF, HDR, HBAO, etc etc etc).
