or simply just don't run the games in 2560xXXXX resolution...

There's an accelerator that controls the speed of the CPU and a stick shift to change the amount of cores used.A car engine.
64 gigabytes of ram is a lot but nvidia geforce gtx 580 is kind of old. my best pcs have cards in the 600 series. my laptop have a 630m card, 1 desptop have gtx 650 ti and the other have 660 ti.
580 is better than 660 TI...and 630 is a complete poop.
5XX is not very old, but either way, where you are in a series is a very big factor. 80 being the high end, in Nvidia's case, 60 being mid-high, and 30 being entry level.
Excuse me, my MSI GTX 670 is faster than reference GTX 680!
each version have more cuda cores than the version before that and the 600 series is the oldest series that is sold in norway. even the 600 series is about to be sold out and the shops dont seem to order the 600 cards anymore but they still can if people ask for them. norway is behind the market in computer hardware as well so 16 gigabytes of ram is maximum.

The nVidia website itself has graphs comparing FPS benchmarks in various games with various cards:

If you'd like to compare how a card actually holds up, go check there. Just because a card is sold out in a shop doesn't mean it's bad - when I upgraded my PC, they didn't have the 570, 580 or 660 in Israeli stores, but both the 550ti(my old card) and the 770(my new card) were available. I've been told by 'computer technicians', as well as a friend of mine who studies programming(or possibly his brother, who studies art, including 3D art, I can't recall which one) in Norway, that the series of the card doesn't matter, but rather how far along the series it goes. As a matter of fact, the 295 is arguably better than the 560. It uses old technology, and cannot handle some advanced techniques(I'm guessing mostly related to shaders and lighting), but it will still run most modern games on very high FPS counts.
