Evga 295gtx or 2x 275gtx?

I found the evga 295gtx for $350. Would you recommend that over the dual 275's or would you still prefer dual 275's over one 295?

since you dont mention your monitor resolution its impossible to recommend anything

I'd day for $350 bucks go for the gtx 295 deffiantly. the gtx295 is basically the same thing as two gtx275's on the same card.

res 1280x720 Does it really matter? Im going from a price here? gtx 295 for $350, dual gtx 275's for $500 total. Just wanted to get some input.

Honestly you don't need a graphics card that powerful if your res is only 1280x720. I'd say you should consider upgrading your monitor.

Yeah it does matter .

Anything more than a 4850 or GTS 250 is a complete waste of money for your current monitor.

GTX 295's are only useful for people with 24 inch and larger monitors . On a screen like yours you wont get any advantage , and it will use much more power .

A smarter option would be to buy a 4870 and a 22 inch 1680 x 1050 LCD monitor for the same $350
