Sounds like a video card issue. Perhaps you could try turning down some of the graphics settings or atleast make sure they are within acceptable range for your 560 GPU. Work your way up in quality instead of just turning everything up to Ultra from the get-go. Also try turning off some of the "bells and whistles" like depth of field, motion blur, physx particles, post-process MLAA... all options that can be found in the Advanced tab of the video settings menu.

If it is a resolution issue, try changing the resolution. If your picking a resolution your monitor can't run natively, then you will have issues of black screens and not being able to see anything.
