Just whacked another 8800GS in my rig as i got it on the cheap but so far the bench resulkts arent that astounding lol.

Ive used SLI before and have seen big gains but this time its almost nothing.

Rig :

E2180 @ 3Ghz
P5N-T SLI 780i mobo
2x 8800GS 384Mb
2Gb PC6400 ULL
Corsair VX450 PSU

Running the latest 177.83 drivers with the PhysX thing installed also.

3DM06 returns 9154 with a single card and only 10650 with both cards and SLI enabled.

Only game ive tried is bioshock and that dosent seem to have gone up much, if any in FPS, i'll have to install crysis and run the bench tool and see what happens with that.

I had wondered if it as a power issue but i get no low power wnings in the nvidia control panel.
