While I doubt you'll see double "or more" FPS (I didn't even see that from a 4870 to my GTX570 and the 4870 is mostly on par but in somethings slightly faster than the GTX260) I would also have to go ahead and agree that a GPU upgrade would yield you fantastic results.

you get double the grunt. gtx 570 is about on par with gtx 295 that is 2x gtx 275 in sli. Corsair 750D :: 750W DPS-G:: Asus x370 PRO :: R7 1800X ::16gb DDR4 :: GTX 1070::525gb SSD::Coolermaster 240MM AIO::

Weeeeeeell... you could swap the ~300€ that you'll be spending on a GTX570 and get an i5-2500K + mobo + 4GB DDR3.

And then get a new GPU further ahead this year whenever nvidia releases their stuff which will hopefully bring down some prices on the previous generations of cards.

Underclocked and not with 100% scaling.

In reality, a 570 is between 60% and 80% faster than a 260.

Would be a good upgrade nonetheless, but you need to overclock that Q9400 a bit Smile

Depends on the game really. In crysis you will see double for one. At least i assume so, as i didn't lose all that much coming from SLI GTX 280 cards in crysis to a single 570. And Crysis gave around 100% scaling on my 280's. Either way...GO GO GO! Or don't as the price of a GTX 570 should be pushed down considerably in the coming weeks as new cards arrive.
