Im looking into possibly purchasing a new graphics card for my pc, i currently have 2 gtx560ti hawks but they run extremely hot and loud, im immensely tired of the noise mainly but If im going to upgrade i would like more performance and preferably I would like to stick to a single gpu, Im a student so I would prefer to spend as little as possible. Im wondering if this is a good time to buy or should I wait and if i should buy what sort of suggestions. P.s. Nvidia is preferable just because i do do the odd rendering work and cuda cores help tons.

A budget would be nice and I would wait for the 9000 series then 700 series cards should drop in price

HD7970 will doo the job. They are around $300. Better than the 680.
