any new 8800gt, 9600gt, 3870, etc. will beat two 6800's anyday. i love my 9600gt but the ecs 8800gts 512 is a great deal right now.

A lousy 8600 GTs will probably beat a 6800 SLI setup.

the 6800 is old stuff now. it's significantly slower than even the cheapest modern video cards.

I still had my 6800GS SLI config when Crysis came out, and it barely ran (low settings and 1024x768). I replaced them with a MSI 9600GT OC, and ran the game on med-high settings @1280x1024 without a hiccup. I love my 9600GT. BTW I paid $179USD when it first came out. :(
