I currently have a GTX 260 . . . and I really do like it… My games are very smooth. (COD4 is my primary game) If I get another one to do SLI – will I see noticeable performance increase at resolutions of 1680?

Any real benefits? Coming Games?

Thanks for your opinions.

you already answered your own question.... "My games are very smooth" if a card does everything you want of it... theres no reason to upgrade....

anyway i don't think sli should used at anything less than 1920 by 1200
