I am planning on buying a new core i7 pc: so was just wandering which graphx card should i get. i a have 2 cards in mind:
5850x2 cross fireX or a single gtx 295
which one will be the better one for gaming and what psu will be required for 5850 x2 and gtx 295....
5900 series are not available on the store from where i buy computer parts so i have to decide between these two and fast pls be free to leave comments....

Best solution

A single 5870 is almost equal to a GTX295.
A GTX295 performs equal to two slightly overclocked GTX260s or two under clocked GTX275s.

A 5850 performs better than a GTX285. So two 5850s will destroy a GTX295.
