It seems that the GTX295 outperforms the 5870 in Crysis:

Particularily in the range of resolutions i am most interested in 1980-1080/1200:

I have an opertunity to buy a used GTX295 less than 300, whereas a 5870 seems is going to cost me slightly more than 300.
I would be very interested to know the performance of two GTX295's versus a 5970, i think i could pick up two GTX's for about 650 one would be new and another would be used.
A 5970 would cost me around 450.
So the question is:
GTX295 vs 5870
(GTX295 seems clear winner)
and
2 x GTX295 SLIed vs 5970
(how would these compare, would it be enough to justify the extra cost?)
Any thoughts?
