[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 276099, member: 4106"] That's a common misconception when comparing GPUs. With the current numbering scheme of nVidia GPUs, don't just look at the [I]leading[/I] digits ([B]10[/B]80 vs [B]7[/B]50ti vs [B]5[/B]60), you need to look at the [I]second-to-last[/I] digit (10[B]8[/B]0 vs 7[B]5[/B]0ti vs 5[B]6[/B]0). The first digit signifies the GPU's generation, the second it's position within the hierarchy of that generation - as you'd expect, the higher number the more powerful. Between the 5th and 7th generation GPUs, nVidia essentially "skipped" a generation - there are very few GTX6xx cards, most were just re-badged 5xx cards [EDIT: oops, I mis-remembered: the 8th gen was "skipped", not the 6th, though I believe the 6th gen was a re-iteration of 5th-gen architecture]. So while the 7xx generation are newer cards, the 560 still is a more powerful card than the 750Ti (which was a budget-ish-range card with a slimmed-down form-factor that didn't require an additional power connector from the card to the power supply (the most powerful card you could get that had that "feature") - that is, it draws all the power it needs from the PCIE slot, thus making it very popular and a perennial "best buy" in its price range). For a single screen PC, the 750Ti has proven to be more than adequate. I can't comment on how well it would perform in a 3 monitor set up, but it might find itself struggling if it's trying to render three screens instead of just one, especially if one of those is a full HD screen.
