very simple, none

the HD 3870 would be your best choice now
crossfire scales better than sli so you would have a nice system

If you Crossfired a pair of 3850's it'll be close to a 8800 768. A pair of 3870's beat a single 8800 GTX:

Yup very often two HD3850's will = a GTX. Not always and you need a mobo that supports crossfire. http://www.anandtech.com/video/sho [...] =3151&p=10

But otherwise for a year now ATI has not had an answer to the 8800GTX. They have competed very well in the sub $300 range, but been behind in the high end since G80 (8800's) were released.
