What would be better running a [aor of 9800gt's in sli or running a single gtx 465 plus one 9800gt for physx? The monitor is only running at 1680x1050 it's an I7 940 stock with 6gb of 1333.
 
If you're thinking of buying a 465, I'd reconsider it. 460 actually performs better and runs much cooler.
 
These are all cards I have and the 465 works good I have a pair running sli in a system but I am going to swap them into other systems and plan on a 460 to replace them since the system is a htpc. They really do not run as hot as people seem to think. My system with tri gtx470's gets a little warm but not to bad.
 
If you already own the 465. Then yeah it will offer better overall performance than 9800 SLI. The 9800s might give better fps but I don't think the performance would feel nearly as smooth. Another thing for you to consider is that the 9800GT will give you better support for legacy games. I've heard that NWN for example won't work properly with the new Fermi cards.
