I've always been an ATI guy, what's the ATI equivilent to the 560ti? The 6850? How do both compare in CloD?

you know, goggle really is your friend

maybe CloD will benefit a bit more, but i'd say anything short of 570 gives little to none upgrade in your case; the 560ti seems to be on 5850 hunting ground

the 570 1.3GB is around 300€ to start with; you will see real improvement over the 5850, but not to blow your mind; in your case i'd wait for the patch that is said to give maybe 50% more FPS, then about Q2 2012 the GPUs prices should fall a bit
