I'd recommend a 690 then. Less heat, less power consumption, same specs essentially. Leaves room for other gear.

I am dialed back a bit but get between 40-50 frames most of the time. I am seriously considering swapping for dual 680's.

are you looking at dualing 2gb cards or 4gb

How do you decide or compare dual 570's vs single 690?

i7 @ 3.6ghz

12gb ram

Dual 560ti

roughly 60-90 fps on high. Some settings disabled

Don't recall all of mine, but it's 16 months old and a killer rig for the time. If needed, added RAM with newer graphics card should do it. It runs "ok' for now, but get some frame dragging and stuttering on the odd occasion.

Before I go the purchase route, and given the "recommended requirement" of a GTX card just below mine:

What are your recommended graphics settings? There are some in Arma 2 that made a HUGE difference in performance, but very little decrease in game quality. Are there any in Arma 3 that do likewise?
