you will be cpu bottlenecked on any of the cards listed. it all depends on the game being played and what resolution you are using as to how much. i don't know to much about your apu but a quick google showed a few benches using a gtx580 and performance was down compared to intel cpu's.

It gives out decent results at 1200p in Crysis 2 though.
