Here is a table that shows the performance of various GTX cards in Octane.

That might help you decide which card to get.
(the important number is Ms/sec) The higher that number, the faster the card is in Octane.

Oh that's perfect. I'm gonna read it.
And I got a last question please. My computer has those slots :
"number and type of slots : 1 x PCI Express 1x, 1 x PCI Express 2.0 16x"
Is it enough for a 560 ?
Thanks once more.

You'll want to use the PCI express 2.0 16x slot

Bad news.
I didn't think about it but the graphic card is big and my computer will probably be too small .
I didn't think about it, I'm a fool !!!!!!!!
Card + computer + software = expensive ...

I just looked up the specs of your current card. It uses the PCIex16 slot, so just replace your current card with the GTX card.
Shouldnt have any problems. If you are un sure, take a picture of the inside of your computer and I can tell you if it will work.
