Hmmm...
I've been going back and fourth over this, and really can't draw a conclusion.
**
Two 3870's in crossfire (with an x38 mobo)
OR
A single G92 GTS
**
Before you even say it, no, I'm not considering two 8800GTs in SLI (heat, anyone?).
Anyhow, ever since my brother started running dual cards about a year ago, I've been leery. He had numerous problems, which I really don't want/need to get into here. I'm a big advocate of K.I.S.S., and generally prefer the idea of a single card.
HOWEVER, I'm not a techno-conservative. If dual card technology is indeed solid at this point in time, and would provide a dramatic improvement over one g92 GTS, let me know. (Yes, I know, the G92 GTS benchies aren't out, but we can provide educated guesses.)
A part of me really wants to do the ATI crossfire setup, but another side is saying stick with nVidia, and stick with one card. Another plus of going nVidia is eVGA's step up, and a better warranty...but I'm still torn. Help me out.
Most importantly, WHY would you choose one over the other?
