The 2 5890's will be just less than 2 5870's.
You could overclock your 5850 and get close to the same performance as a 5870 and it's free.

2x 5870 or 2x 5970 How much of an increase ?

2x 5970 = (the performance of) 3x 5870.
If thats helps you out.
Why sell CF 5850's?
They easily crush even Crysis.

5870 have more shaders.
That being said op, it's not worth it to go from 5850s to 5870s. If you want to upgrade, go all the way to 5970s.

2x 5970's will run you like 1.2k

You could get a great computer for that much heh. But that would be quite literally top of the line performance.

You should try eyefinity with 3 2560x1600 screens that would be insane!

XFX's voltage tuning utility doesn't work with 64 bit OSs, you might want to rethink that purchase.

I can vouch for this; I had a 5870 with 3 30" inch monitors and it was insane. I'll let you know when i get 1 5970 how it is, but I think your money would be better spent on 1 card and more monitors!
Edit: On topic, wouldn't three overclocked 5870's beat two 5970's? or would a single 5970 and single 5870 be better? I always thought trifire generally outperformed quadfire, no?
