I am leaning towards a single GPU solution to start things off. Coincidentally I just read the review of the GTX-570 over at Tom's before coming here. Nicely priced, but for $30.00 more one can go with two Radeon 6850s in Xfire. Thing is sometimes the 570 outperforms that combo, like in Hawx2: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ce,2806-4.html
and sometimes it loses to that combo, as in Battlefield_Bad Company2: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...e,2806-11.html
So, with the cost being relatively close (Red = $380.00, Green = $350.00) it seems to me be be important to know if SoW will favor one GPU architecture over the other (if one GPU holds a significant performance advantage over it's competitor; if it's close I'd be for diverting the money savings to a better PC component).
I suppose that unless Oleg or Luthier is willing to chime in this is just a useless thread. I hope someone can see where I was trying to go with this.
