You can run 3DMark Vantage for one test free. Depending on what games you have, there are benchmark tools in them... example Crysis' benchmark.

I think it is worth running SLI. It is the best way to add performance gaming wise and cheaper than a new CPU / MOBO. I jumped up a good amount on FPS running SLI.

thanks . yes gtx 260's are cheap as of now . im not going to upgrade to am3 until they come out with the six core cpu's also think im going to run a amd chipset . have been looking at the corsair 111 from asus . wish you could run sli or crossfire like on all intel boards .

260's in SLI won the category in this article:

http://www.tomshardware.com/review [...] 464-6.html

Was 3 way tie with 260, 4870 and 5770 ....5770 didn't score as well performance wise but got extra points for efficiency and DX11
