Help finding the right gfx card

[hammercurlman]

Hi all.
I was looking at having 2 gfx cards: 2x nVidia GeForce 7900GT SLI(256mb)

or having 1 gfx card, this one: Asus EN7950GT/HTDP/512M, GeForce 7950GT, 512MB GDDR3, Dual DVI, TV-Out, HDTV, HDCP Ready, PCI-Express

What I intend to use this for are games like UT2007(when it comes out) and EQ2 and stuff like that. anyone who can help me figure out or give comments about both gfx cards?
any help appreciated thx

the 7900gt costs about $225 right now, if your going to get two then thats $450, you can easily get an 8800gts for that price, or for about $175 more get a 8800gtx, both those cards are MUCH better then 2 7900gt's in sli.

And no one has mentioned it in this post yet, but the 8800 will really whip those 7900s once DX10 titles start rolling out. There's just absolutely no reason to spend $450 on a video card setup at this point and NOT have DX10 capabilities.
