So basically I have 2 GTX 460's in my system, but I don't know if I really need a new graphics card, the GTX 570 is just about scraping my price range but I heard somewhere 2 460's are the same as one 570 so I'm not sure if there's a point. I have also been given the choice or buying an iPad 2. I don't know which route to go really, any tips on what to do to help define what would be best?

iPad or new graphics card?

I mean, I could stretch for the 580, but my system's fine as it is right? doesn't really require anything extra
If you are struggling with 1GB vram limitation in certain games then it makes sense to go for a GTX580 (not 570). Otherwise, you are downgrade your GPU power by replacing your GTX460 SLI.
What's the point of an iPad 2? I've got one but I don't use it very often. I consider my cash wasted.

Unless you find it struggling in a number of things, such as when supporting a very high resolution and there being a vram limitation for demanding titles / mods, I wouldn't bother with upgrading anything really. Maybe an SSD, but that's all I can think of.

Yea I would, my friend was at college with his the other day and I just couldn't get off it haha. And yea, when I max out my games I get insane frame drops and my audio crackles uncontrolably, but, I could never find a way around that, I tried everything, so I just have to make do with lowest to medium settings.

Yea but apps for android suck compared to the ones on iOS
Sounds like you've made your own mind up.
A pair of 1GB 460s is fine. Are you sure your iPad experience wasn't simply a holiday romance though?

Once the novelty wears off, it'll gather dust. Trust me.
