Default GPU on Gaming Rig Question

Opinions please

My gamer currently has tri sli 285 hydro coppers. Back in the day that tri sli got you boints, these cards were consistently among the highest perfodrmers (on water and w/o vold mots). They easily clocked over 800 w/ no probs.

Unfortunatley, they are of course DX10 cards, and, it will only be a matter of time before DX11 takes over completely, so, I'm at a crossroads.

One of the 285s I plan on keeping to volt mod and freeze, the other 2 I'm thinking I should sell. Problem is, do I replace them with 2 GTX 480's or with 1 ATI 5970 cross fired to an ATI 5870 ??

I'd prefer to keep playing with freezing the 480's, so my inclination is to put te ATI cards into my gamer. I just hate the damned ATI drivers which in my mind is a good reason to sell them.

Input please
