deciding between 2x gtx260sli or gtx295? any input?

[knix0003]

Became interested in doing some work on the Antec Skeleton Case, wanted to try out an open case. Cant seem to decide on a video card. Im not too big of a pc gamer but i do play some, i mostly edit video.
was deciding between
2x EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 in SLI ($400 with $60 rebate)
and
BFG Tech BFGEGTX2951792BE GeForce GTX 295 1792MB 896 (448 x 2)-bit GDDR3 ($470)
is having 2 260 cards on one with a few more processor cores really worth the extra $110?

A GTX 295 is made of 2 GTX 275's so it easily beats 2 GTX 260's. Honestly I wouldn't go with either one either get a 4870x2 or 2 4890's. I would go with a 5850 or better yet a 5870.

5850 would be best bang for buck right now. I'm still interested in what Nvidia's DX11 cards will do and how much they cost.

1 5870 will smoke 2 GTX260s

isnt 295 made of two 260?

The GTX 295 is 2 GTX 275's GPU's clocked to GTX 260 card specs, That being said precision can easily bump up the GTX 295 to and beyond the GTX 275 specs.

any word yet on Nvidia's DX11 cards of when they will be available?
