VGA change which one should I go ?

[uiane]

Hello, so...
right now, my system is rock solid with my signature PC (evga gtx 470)

my brother is in the USA and I have the oportunity to buy a better VGA ($ purpose - I Live in Brasil, and my VGA is going to be a lot cheaper in the next 6 months, so I don't want to losse money, since I bought it there (usa), so I have 450U$(gtx 470 sell) to buy a new VGA).

priority list:
gtx580
gtx570
HD6970.

I know that in performace wise is like that : 580 6970 570. BUT, I want to have the possibility to use the hack...

if u guys have another sugestion, I would apreciate that!! thank you all!!

It is unknown if or when the GTX 570 and GTX 580 will be supported.

It is unknown if the HD 6970 will be supported when Apple supports the HD 6xxx cards.
