your 4830's are not living up to the challange anymore ?

7750 will bottleneck that 260. it sure did with my 280.
but the 260 paired with the x3 would do the trick

e8400 @ 4.23ghz & sapphire hd 4830 @ 690/1190

Do these scores seem about right? I'm thinking about upgrading my vid card. Any used for sale?

not every game scales well with multi gpu's. im going from sli 8800gts's 512mb each to a single gtx260. because that garrantees a higher over all average fps across all games i play.

Which games do you play? SLI is pretty good in most titles these days and I'm pretty sure you will see a significant performance loss going to the 260.

I've had one and a GTX 280 as well and they are both good cards but SLI 8800GTS 512mbs are definitely faster.
