I will game at 1900x1200 and with 3d vision but not with metro as one its full of bugs and poorly coded but i would like to know should i get a 570 or 580 ? Will the 570 overclock to 580 speeds and above ?
I cant go sli atm as only one pci slot on mobo but might upgrade to sandy bridge in near future ? Also if i go 570 that saves me over 100 to put towards sandy with mem and mobo ?
 
There aren't any 120hz monitors at 1920x1200, so I don't know how you're planning to do 3d vision.

Even a single 580 will struggle to get the 120fps requried for 3d in most games.

Almost every 570 overclocks to 850mhz. Some need upto 1.1v, which is the max possible without a bios flash. Many run at slightly lower volts.
 
my 470 @ 750 works okay in most games @ 1920x1080

I guess an OC on the 570 should be grand. Oh and metro is playable (actually awesome) as long as you don't use DoF (I think I have settings on high or something).
 
Ok so is any of the the 570 garanteeded to over clock good? Ie any brand?Ie is the evga sc worth it ? I know i could overclock myself but will the evga go higher than any other ie higher quality components ?

Almost all 570's will reach 850MHz and most will get somewhere between 875 and 920. A GTX 570 will be roughly equal to a GTX580 when clocked at 850MHz so just buy the cheapest GTX 570 you cab find.
