Default Nvidia's SLI Systems
Nvidias SLI systems are quite impressive. Even I am drooling. Showcased on Tech Tv's The Screen Saver's it made a 75% performance boost on graphics.

75% is on the low end of boosts.. it's double the price.. with less than double performance.. most of the performance is fairly useless to date..

If you don't like a performance/price decrease for a gain in performance with the SLI, then why'd you even get an x800xt? It's double the price of some other cards that it isn't double the performance of... just wonderin?
