SLI 2 GTX 460 or new video card

So right now I have a GTX 460 and right now I am having some issue with BF3.

I wanted to play BF3, elder scrolls, Star Wars....... Diablo 3 in high/ultra.

Should I get a GTX 560 TI or GTX 570 or 6950 2 GB OR 6970. I could also try to crossfire with another GTX 460 but I need to change the PSU first.....

Buy my dual 560Ti setup so I can get a GTX580?

EDIT: In all seriousness, see if you can pick up a used 460 for cheap to SLI with to see if that will help.

Used 460 and SLI would be my vote.

I'd be hesitant about dropping an significant cash on video cards with the 24nm chips lurking around the corner potentially as early as January.

I'm severely due for an upgrade my self, but i'm going to wait until then to refresh my hardware.
