2 x 295's  better on many levels.. 1. can use Evga gpu volt tuner on the 295, can't on the 285. 2. takes up 1 less Pci x slot. 3. higher frames per second in most all games now, due to new drivers. 4. quad sounds better than tri. lol

To quote the resident pundit DST...

What resolution are you gaming at and what are your games of choice.

Without a referent to let us know your needs we can not possibly recommend a proper graphics solution that is both cost effective and will do what you need

Keep in mind that the 285s will perform better on non sli games, while taking 1 more PCIe slot. With the 295s you'll have one more free slot for a sound card or whatever . . .

AS KB2 said, what resolution are you going to be gaming at? and do the games you play support sli?
