If im not mistaken 1920x1200 8x aa and 16x af scored 16000. the gains r there as well in games, but only if you turn up the res and eye candy. If you have a 24+ monitor it may be worth it. Anything smaller than that and tri-sli is a waste of money. I have 3 gt280's on the way, i think i'll sell one and use the extra space for my xonar. I'm going to run some vantage passes now with the 2 cards and see how it compares to 3.
EDIT: 3 cards scale alot better in vantage. 13,500 2way SLI and 19,500 with 3-way default settings. Thats almost a 50% increase going from 2 cards to 3.
