Well after much umming and arring i decided to get.....
An EVGA signature GTX680
Personally, I think you'll still be hard pressed to notice the difference in game play, I think it's likely you'll see a drop in performance in some games.
Here's one way to check.
Look for reviews of the Nvidia 690GTX. They usually also have the scores ofr two other cards: the 680, and the Radeon 6990.
The 6990 is somewhere between 2x6950 and 2x6970, which makes it a little behind a 480GTX setup (roughly speaking, and not accounting for specific games that run bettwen or worse on NVidia).
So if you compare the HD 6990 vs the 680 GTX on those benchmarks you get a rough idea of how a 680 will compare to your 480 SLI setup.
In my view, if you are spending money, you want to see at least a 50% increase in performance, and I very much doubt you'll see anything like that.
