On a side note my mobo supports xfire x16 pcie 2.o 2nd is 4x

So I'm debating between 2 6850s or a single 570gtx. I think I would rather go with the 6850s and I read some article on here showing the pcie scaling isn't that big of a difference. Please leave any suggestions u have.

2 6850's are faster(even at x16x4 speeds) but GTX 570 runs cooler, quieter and has less power consumption
