I think the dual 4770's will be faster...but not by too much...maybe 15 - 20%??

4890 is your best option really. You wont run into any problems with games and Xfire compatibility and you also have a free slot for future upgrades...also probs less power use and heat output.

go w/ 4890 IMHO cuz you can upgrade it much easier, unless you think you'll wanna run quad gpu w/ 2 cards and have the $
 
regarding 4770 crossfire and single 4890 its better for you to check the benchmark.

my suggestion to you is get single 4890 (if you want easy solution). sometimes dual vga setup give more trouble than benefit. if you want more then get 5850 or 5870 :D
