Nice links pauldh even as an SLI user/lover I was quite shocked at the performance margin a pair of G92 GT's have over a single Ultra, let alone the GTX. Thank you for the warm fuzzy feeling

My buddy has a 24" with Tri-sli and i almost lost my composure. I am imagining 2 GTS 512's would look pretty comparable. Granted his Tri-sli setup is.... buggy. If he turns settings down it gets worse performance. He has to max everything out to get higher frames. Odd.. Anyways, I am sure 2 of these would max ANYTHING out.. well maybe not crysis, but that's like the red headed step child of PC games.

My 8800GT's have ripped a new butthole in everything I have thrown at them so far, only NFSMW (CPU bottleneck) and the aforementioned Crysis have let the side down.

My single 8800GTS 512 on a 22" runs like a champ. COD4 Maxed, World in Conflict maxed exept AAx4 AFx4, UT4 maxed, Pretty much everything. Crysis I run on High. I've hooked it up to my 42" lcd 1080p at 1900x1080 or whatever it is and I had to bring down COD4 a little bit in the texture settings, but it still ran at 50-60 FPS.
1. It will be a very very long time before you need to upgrade your monitor! I'm a believer in the fact that you will never need anything bigger than a 30" monitor...the only way to get usefully bigger is with a projector.
2. This system should last you a long time. If you are really really broke after buying the system you can always keep it for a long time with the SLI capabilities. You could purchase a smaller gaming monitor and continue to get excellent performance from the SLIed cards, although this is a less-than-ideal situation.
My single card looks pretty damn good that's for sure.
Heh my single 8800GT works nice too on my 24", so I would vote awesome for how two GTS's would look.

Jay, please have your friend with tri-sli send me some cash, I could use another HD or another 2gb of memory and he seems to have plenty of money to throw away

Really doesn't have the money to buy it himself. He has serious issues. That was his tax return. He actually have a side business of building gaming PC's for people. He is looking to sell it on ebay once he has it OCed stable and configured properly.
Well hopefully there person who he sells it to is using a 30" monitor with crazy resolution and not a 17 or 19 inch monitor, though I'm sure your friend could care less.
