Running (2) GTX 260 Black Edition's in SLI and according to GPU-Z one of my GTX 260's GPU is running at 666Mhz and 1150Mhz for memory, but it reports the 2nd one as running at 300Mhz and 100Mhz Memory. Is this accurate? Anyone Vcard guru's out there that can give me some insight? Thx

^ Exactly. Unless gaming, your primary card is handling 3D tasks and the secondary sits idle and downclocks to save power.
 
Actually, this makes me curious, when gaming, and the game doesn't use the second card in a SLI setup, does it 'idle downclock,' too?
 
If there is no SLI profile or is poorly coded to take advantage of SLI, the secondary can downclock since it's load isn't 100%.
 
Thank you Kowan, Thrust, I hope all this clears it up finely and neatly.

Makes me want to find a cheap buddy for a 9800GT :p
