A 9800GX2 is probably as powerful as a 275. Really, the GX2 is as fast as a 280, but suffers lower minimum framerates (hence the comparision to a 275). That being said, because of the horrendous scaling with 4 GPU's, 2x 9800GX2's probably aren't much more powerful then 280's in SLI...(probably closer to 2x 260 (216)'s)
