    Default Nvidia cards selection

    Long story short i had a GTS 450 from Nvidia, which frankly died. The company i brought the computer from then replaced the card with a ATI radeon hd 5700 claming that its was about 5% better than my current. i am not a big fan of ATI and surely the card could not handle my 3 wow windows im goning with... and ive just decided to jump up to a 5 man team

    So here I stand, im about to call the company tomorrow and Ive checked their homepage to see the replacements they could offer me( Im using them again, cos they're willing to give me a small cut of the price). My goal with the new card is to have 5 wow windows runing with atleast -2030ftps on 4 of them and 50-60 fps on the main window. Ofc I could just go for the expensive one, but i think that would be an extream overkill compaired to the rest of the pc

    Any card below (technically above in your list) a 560 doesn't have my vote. A 560 is the same thing as a 460
    which was a decent card. I would say for 5 WoWs, go with at least a 560/560Ti but I would lean more towards
    the Ti version. Do you have the option to get the 2GB version of the 560Ti? If so, I would suggest the 2GB
    version over the 1GB version if there is little price difference and you can afford it.

    560ti

    I have a 560ti and a 460 so I can confirm the 560ti will do what you need.

    For NVidia, for +/- 1 generation of cards you can usually ignore the first number unless you're really after that extra 5-8% performance bump. (i.e.: 460~=560, etc.). The x60/x70 cards are the faster clocks/wider memory buses and such. The lower numbers (x20/x30/x40/x50) are the "value" models of the same GPU class.

    Not always precisely the same scale but you get the idea.
