Performance question

Whether or not it would be beneficial would depend on if the games you play most have decent SLI support, if you processor is powerful enough to not bottleneck the cards and also what resolution you play at.
As far as I know the 680 chipsets are dual x16 (assuming 650s are dual x8)so the mobo shouldn't be an issue.

true dat both x16
cpu is no bottleneck with sli q6600 at 3.6ghz
game on a 22" at 1680*1050
So the mobo and CPU are no issues which is good, but I don't think a second 260 is necessary at that res. It will improve framerates but (in my eyes at least) not enough to justify a second £200+ card.
It's all down to if you're willing to spend a lot of money on not a lot of gain.
Oh yeah, this is also assuming that your PSU is up to the job.

lol indeed it is Antec Quattro 850W
Hmm in that case would be better to get an intel board again!
Selling off the 8800ultras in MM should raise enough cash
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/xfx_gtx260xxx/8.htm check out this review, it gives a really good idea of the -lack- of performance increase with a second card at that res. compare the SLI 260 in blue to the single 260 in purple.
The conclusion also gives a pretty good run down.

That was an interesting read, nice
