Does this card offer what I need?
In my opinion - yes

The lower resolution will definitely help, as at 1080p CloD will use in excess of 1GB VRAM even at 'Medium' settings. Having 2GB available will be an asset. You will also see an improvement when o/c'ing your cpu, but try this by upping your bus speed (FSB/reference clock) rather than just the cpu multiplier - you will see a bigger improvement this way.

Edit: as vranac says, the 6870 will be a better bet since it's 256-bit, rather than 128-bit. It all depends on the price you can get it for though.
