(Keep in mind that xfire 6950s still perform slightly better than 2x560s, so the choice between 560s and 6950s is extremely close. If you think you'll use Physx/Cuda/3D (in my opinion Physx/3D is a gimmick and Cuda is useless if you have even a decent CPU), then get the 560s. If you don't know what those are, or won't use them, get the 6950s)
