System specs please, along with what Martini said.

If you have a decent rig and game at 1280X1024 and above, you may want to think about selling the 8800GT and get a 4850.
Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.2Ghz @ 1.16V (CPU-Z + LinX)
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H F14 BIOS
ASUS GTX 460 768MB @ 800/1950
Kingston HyperX DDR3 8GB @ DDR-1333
Corsair AX750
Crucial M4 128GB
Western Digital Black 1TB
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ EVO
BenQ E2420HD

i read your other thread, sli will not see a half respectable performance boost if you game at that resolution, i would get the 260 or a 4850
