Nvidia GTX480 or GTX560ti?

I have been looking at video cards and was curious why this 480 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130558) looks like itll run better than the 560ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814261099). Should i get the 480 over the 560ti?



I plan on setting up dual sli for my triple monitor setup. But im open to other suggestions, i would prefer to stay with nvidia though.



Thank you|||The 480 is the equiv of a 570 which is like 15-20% better than a 560 ti. However, that doesn't change the fact that the 560 ti is an amazing performer. I have one and it shreds thru all my games at 1080p. It also uses much less power, is virtually silent, and idles at 28c and loads at 60c, in contrast to the 480 which resembles a jet engine and gets as hot as a volcano.|||Recertified is far less certain. Don't even think about it.



Go with the 560Ti. The GTX 480 was a joke. Sure, it was fast, but it was also incredibly hot, incredibly power hungry, and quite loud as a result. Get the 560Ti unless you want a house fire.
