For just Crysis. Erm to me it's completely a waste of money.

If the money was burning my pocket which it normally does i'd save it up and get a single GPU card.

Not really worth it. You'd be better off with a single, more powerful, card (maybe even keep one of those GTS 250 for PhysX if you fancy it).

Save your cash OR use it towards a GTX260, sell the 250's, and get a 2nd 260.
