    On games that work with SLI, anyway, the two 7950s should perform better.

    There are something like 300 games that support SLI these days, so most eventualities are covered. Of course, there are some genres that don't get touched. At least NVIDIA gives you the option to create your own SLI profile though.

    But then again with DX10 coming. You think it would be a better choice to just go with 1 7950 gt to get by till DX10? I currently have a 256MB 7800 GT but building a new duel core rig and wanted a little more graphics power. But I dont wanna shell out 500+ USD if the cards wont support direct X 10.

    I was under the impression that this was a short term thing, as in, stock within a couple of weeks. Certainly I was planning on getting one as soon as I saw them come in. Is the ETA expected to be significantly higher then this?

    The SLI version of the 7950 is awesome, espesially when you take the passif cooled version(XFX).
