GTX 295 or 4890 in CF

[computernewbie]

Damnit, after telling myself im gonna get the 4890 in CF, im having doubts if i should just get a GTX 295 instead, and maybe quad SLI in the future, i dont no, i need some convincing

EDIT: the gtx 295 rofl FAILS in 2500 resolution, in SLI its fps IS 0.1 in crysis LOL!

a 4890 in CF beats out gtx 295, or known as gtx 260's in a bundle, so do you think i can stick in 4890's in CF and a 4870X2? dunno if thats possible, but i heard CF is flexible

Get the 4890s!

GTX295 ~ 2xGTX260s OCed

GTX260 < GTX275 ~ 4890

2xGTX275 > GTX295

The 4890s are the way to go. Stock they are better and if heat isn't an issue in the crossfire setup the overclocking potential is huge.

yeah lol right after i posted this i went right back to my statement of getting the CF 4890's, they're great for the price, which manufacturer should i get? i heard the XFX one was quite good

Also, can you run 4890 in CF and a 4870X2? i heard CF was flexible, thought that might work

XFX or Sapphire are good. I'm pretty sure you could run CF 4890s and a 4870X2 in quadfire (all 4000 series can be CF together) but it might downclock the 4890s to 4870 speeds. I would just add another 4890 probably.
