System Specs

Generally SLI performance gain increaces as the power of the cards decreaces. For example two 8400GS in SLI will scale much better than two GTX285 in SLI. And my scale I mean get a much larger % performance gain. Therefore the best cards are the midrange cards where you can get a large performance gain (70% or so) instead of spending $600 on video cards alone and getting a 30% increace. Natrually two GTX280 will perform better than two 9600gt just because of raw power... however 9600gt is very popular in budget sli setups
