I've had 2 8800gts oc and sli set up, (atm folding), you will not see much increase in performance on a 1900x1200 screen.

you can play crysis at moderate levels.

I scored around 17,500 in 3DMO6 with my SLI 8800GTS 640's.
However when I upgraded to a 1920 x 1200 monitor, I noticed quite a hit in games. Crysis was playable but only a medium levels, I had to knock it back to 1440x900 to play at high graphic settings.

for $50 it's worth it though.

Not worth it! The old G80 architecture scales pretty badly in SLI, think 50%.

Sell your 640 for $50 and get a 4830 (you can grab one for $87 with free shipping and a free game (a great game too))

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161260

The performance will be almost identical *at 1920x1200*, the card will be newer and draw less power, you get DX10.1, and AA performance blows the G80 architecture away. 8800gts 640s in SLI perform between a 4830 and a 4850 *at 1920x1200* (at 1280x1024 or whatever, the SLI setup wins).

Even if you can only get $30 for your card, it would STILL be a better deal to go with a 4830, and you can crossfire the 4830 later too, and the 4830 scales much better in multi card configs.
