Your profile says you already use a BFG 6800 Ultra OC so you've already got the best..........so I'd go with the same as you have if you're going sli

Go with two 6800 GT's... two 6800 Ultra's is going to give you 0% noticable difference and you'll be throwing money out the window.

u can save money by getting 2 6800gt's and then OCing them to ultra speeds.

but then if u get the ultras, u can Overclock them to ultra extreame speeds.

so, go ahead and save your self some money and go 2x6800gt, because ure going to be cpu limited anyways
