GTX 260 vs 560?

[Its Sage]

So I was looking at the recommend specs for "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" and it says you should use a GTX 260. I have a 560, but the 260 costs significantly more than it (about $50 I think). From the little I've found, the 560 performs a bit better. But I'm not too sure because of the price difference (I assume the more expensive one performs better).

Thanks!

Cost more than a GTX 560?

But to answer your question, the GTX 560 outperforms the GTX 260 by miles.

The 260 sucks compared to the 560. It is 2 generations older, and not really that great. :/

you will be able to play fine on a 560.

That's just a retailer WAY overpricing a new GTX 260.

Recommended specs mean that and above. Like it recommends a gt 260, but it means gt 260 and above.
