I'm not really sure how 60 FPS (minimims) 'dont quite cut it', or 'make the game look like crap' - even on a 120 hz monitor, a pair of GTX 580s arent going to maintain a constant 120 FPS in any modern game. But if you feel that is the case then feel free to buy whatever you want.
I havnt had the need to use any high end cards over a pair of mid range ones at 1920x1200 for the last 4 generations now, so I am mainly speaking from experience of performance at that resolution, not trying to dismiss the usefulness of high end cards in situations where they are useful like ultra high resolutions, triple monitors, or 3D vision.
