Tigerdirect has at $1400.00 comp with 2 HD-5770 in Crossfire. I basically want a graphics card as powerful as a gtx 570 card. Will this be as powerful?? also which of the two is more powerful below, the 2 5770 in crossfire orthe dual gtx 460 SLI sold refurbished by dell, and is the difference significant?

The comps cost about the same, but tigerdirect won't make me pay for a year which i like. but i won't go with the tigerdirect if the dell is much more powerful. basically, i want to know that although a single 5770 is rather weak, will dual cards like above be as strong as the gtx 460 in sli or a single gtx 570. thanks

The 460GTX SLI would be almost twice as 'good' as the 5770 CFX set up... Don't know first hand, but Tiger Direct seem trustworthy, from what I've read...

Using gpureview.com, the SLI GTX 460's are better in everything except for shader operations. However, pretty much every ATi cards beats nVidia in that nowadays.
