I added a 2nd GTX260 SC and set the SLI option. My Vantage score for the most part remained unchanged ( Around 20K). I would have expected the score to be higher. Is there something I should look at (Setting?)
If there is no advantage to increasing the performance with 2 cards, why would anyone add 3?

with 1 gtx 260 i would exspect 13-14k so 2 gtx 260 20k is about right. i get with a 295 26k physx on and 23k physx off.

@OP
How is your real world gaming performance?
What resolution are you running your monitor at?
SLI will improve gaming performance when gaming at 1920x1200 resolution & higher. SLI will also allow higher quality settings than with a single card. Download EVGA's Precision and clock those 260's to 730/1470/1200 or there about. You will see real world gaming performance gains. Also try the different SLI settings in each game. Sometimes AFR2 yields better performance than the recomended settings.

My gaming performance is great. I just expected more. Alos, I need to clarify the scores. I just checked them on Futuremarks site. My best single card score is about 18.5K. My best SLI score is a tad over 20K.
I'll try OC to you suggestion and report back.

OK I ran Vantage at 730/1470/1200 as suggested. It was very stable and the temps did not get above 64 C. The score was 19720. I think I had my CPU OC'ed to 3.5 when I hit the 20K mark.
BTW- I am at a resolution of 1680 x 1080.
