This is not intended to be a one versus the other post but if I have, kindly forgive and remove. I pretty much play Mass Effect series @ 1920 x 1080 res but I like oodles of AA, AF and the smoothest gaming experience. Also, DX11 tesselation seems to be important these days. Which of the following set ups would you choose and why?

- SLI with 460GTX 1GB
- Crossfire HD5770 1GB ?

The 460 is slightly slower than the 6850, so the 5770 CF is no match to the GTX 460SLI.
If you are buying new cards, get 6850/6870 as they scale better in CF.
