GTX280 would beat 8800GT sli setup or GTX260 would little short of beating the sli 8800gt's unless you want a ati card. then a 4870 would be close to the 8800gt sli setup but shy of some
Here are some benchies with 8800GT SLI Anand style, so take it for what it is worth

The 8800GT SLI actually beats the GTX 280 in Crysis FPS wise, but who knows how playable that is.
If an 8800 GT SLI does not suffer from SLI wierdness then it sure looks like a sweet deal fr someone with a SLI board.
Can someone let us know if they tried it? I sure would like to know from a [H]ard member that has an 8800GT SLI setup.

I had an 8800GT Sli setup but like what others said here, it suffers from games that do not support sli. I played on WoW for instance, and it had about a 200FPS but sometimes after going through a room of mobs, it'll hit performance hits all the way down to 40-30 fps. I discovered that WoW doesnt like sli and running a single 8800GT would give me a constant 60fps.
I loved the set up until I couldnt stand the noise and heat. I sold em and got a 9800gx2 and I'm happy (still pretty hot, but not noisy).
From what I've seen, I would get the gtx 260 even if it means suffering a few fps. It'll go down in prices just like the 8800GT did a few months back.
