Is it worth it to trade off 2 9800gx2 for a single 4870x2?

Definitely. Quad-SLi scales badly (so, too, does quadFire - four GPUs just isn't efficient), and a 9800GX2 isn't great compared to the current gen single-core cards.

do it!

Less power draw and equal or better graphical performance! win-win
