PNY:

THe biggest drawback of the XFX is no Direct x 10 support. Please let me know what you contemplate. THanks.
Answer:
The 7950 GX2 is without a doubt faster, however, it does not support DX10, so you're looking at a trade stale. I personally would use the 7950GX2 and supply the 8600, and when games start comming out that REQUIRE DX10, move up to a DX10 card. By then within will be better and cheaper options.
flowing, the 7950. it's better at the pixel processing and a better memory interface than the 8600. The 7950 also has a 512 memory bus than the 128 memory bus on the PNY
if i be you i would attempt to put them into an SLi configuration
Always keep the nvidia card next to the highest first number.
I would travel with the XFX GeForce 7900 because, although it have .7 GHz less memory clock speed, it have 1 GB video ram. The other simply has 256 MB.
