@JohnLocke: Depends on your definition of "well", honestly. If you want 1080p @ 60FPS, that isn't going to happen. I can venture a guess and say it'll look and run a bit better then its console counterparts, but I don't have hard numbers on that. Just a gut reaction.
@Asurastrike: Well, the numbers went a bit screwy a while back. You had your 9800s and so on for the longest time, but then ATI adopted the HD prefix which tossed the old order out, and ushered in a new hierachy of confusion. Best I can tell you is that the 6970 runs close but isn't exactly the 570, the 6950 is more or less equal to the 560 Ti, and the new 79xx are in knife fighting range with the new 6xxs. Frankly, everyone who markets GPUs should be taken out behind the shed and shot.

Despite what the thread on the "KEERAZY GPU specs!" said, there's been anecdotal evidence everywhere saying the game is relatively scalable. Plus, you don't have that old of hardware in the grand scheme of things. You're running on much better hardware than a 360.
And, if you have the chance of decent framerates then fuck yes you buy that version.
EDIT: 2^10
Something to keep in mind: while he does have much better tech then a 360, that version is designed to take complete and total advantage of the 360 and the PC version isn't designed with any specific hardware as the focus. While he could easily eclipse the quality of the 360, it isn't a good rule of thumb to just assume "More powerful GPU = better experience".
@Jaqen_HGhar: I would seriously consider upgrading your monitor(s): the most powerful GPUs in the world only look as good as the device that turns that horsepower into pretty colors, and 1366x768 is quite tiny anymore. No point in cranking up that GPU if it's going to be limited to that anyway.
