GTX 260 vs ATI HD 5770

GTX 260 Vs 2 xATI HD 5770

That is what I thought but was not sure due to the issues I have been seeing with the ATI card. just building a system and have these cards on hand so I will go with your recommendation to use the 2 x ati HD 5770 as it will be better for gaming.

Thanks

Thanks,
I would like to share with you what I am building with spare parts that I had in boxes, when I decided to clean my computer room that's how I found these video cards. (I make a lot of computers and do small office network setup as a part time thing)
so here is what I had for building this PC:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K, 3.30Ghz 6MB Cache LGA1156
MB: MSI Z68A-GD55 (B3)
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 600W
Ram: Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3 1600 2 X 4 = 8GB
HD: 2 x ST2000DM001 Barracuda 7200RPM 2 TB SATA6 GB 64 MB
Raid: for speed I am connecting both to SATA6 connectors on the Motherboard and I will be creating a Stripe (raid 0) getting 4 TB total. should be faster than a single drive.
Video: Well you know now I will be putting the 2 x HD 5770

any ideas from your if I should do differently?

Only thing i see missing is a SSD not needed but hell that system will be fire if you had one

But the choice parts are very good that should hang with pretty much anything you throw at it
