Dual Card SLI vs Dual GPU card?

Has anyone seen a comparison or have knowledge of whether there is a benefit to say running dual 275's in SLI vs a dual GPU 295 in a single slot?

Is the 295 constrained by the bandwith of a single PCI-Ex16 slot?

Is cost the only consideration?

With 2 seperate cards, if one dies, you still have another to use while you wait for the RMA. 2x 275's should be faster as they have higher clocks than the 295.

A 295 is similar to 2 GTX260 192s so 2 GTX275s will be faster.

Thats alot fo cash to utilize for a few games that support SLI. But if it is your thing good luck.

On the other hand dual 275's would be where it is at.
