You could get more performance by running 2 460 768mb cards in SLI but why throw good money after bad? If at all possible, return the 768mb card and get a 1GB.

I dont want to waste any time and wait for another GPU. The motherboard I ordered Has onboard graphics so I guess I could send it back. How do I go about sending it back to newegg when there is nothing wrong with it? Will I have to pay a restocking fee?
 
Yes,you always have to pay a restocking fee.Just how newegg likes to be jews.
But the time and effort is well worth it for the 1G version.Also even if you SLI x2 768mb versions you have more horespower but you still only have 768mb.So you will always loose FPS when your at larger resoultions.

protokiller nailed it right there. Even by getting two 768MB versions, you will still be sitting with a 192-bit SLi setup. Get the 1GB version with the 265-bit bus instead, you won't be disappointed. It's better for the future as well, making very good SLi scaling possible should you choose to get another 1GB card in the future.

I Own the twin frozr 768 an dam pulling 100 + Fps in 5 mans and 70 + in Stormwind on a rough night, u dont need more than this TBH a 460 itself is overkill.. for the love of god dont try to go SLI over a MMO EVER
Edit and this is on a phenom ii x3 @ 3.2 Ghz with all settings on ultra, again i repeat ... don't waste 30-40 $ on somethign that can onlly push a useless few frames at the 90 + point.
