Right now I have two GTX 260 (192sp) in SLI. I also have one 9800GX2 in a dedicated folding rig. I have a second 9800GX2 on its way and I thought that maybe it would be cool to run quad SLI in my main rig with the 9800GX2s and put the GTX 260s in my folding rig. Would this be a good trade off? The two most demanding games I play are Crysis, Crysis Warhead, and Far Cry II.

9800gx2 would definitely increase your fps for Crysis and Warhead not sure about FC2.

Single 260 > 9800GX2

So I would think SLI 260 should still be > GX2 q-sli.

I think you should keep the 260s in your main rig. Quad sli has very bad support as far as scaling goes. I think anything more than 2 cards is not beneficial. Sli or xfire

i agree, put that other 9800GX2 into your folding rig.

9800GX2 = folding.
GTX 260 = gaming

Keep the 260s in your main rig and throw the 9800 in your folding rig.

I had hoped the drivers were pretty good for the 9800GX2 by now, but I guess it's old news and they don't care about it anymore.

Quad-sli was a marketing gimick. The 260's would spank the gx-2's. Keep those gx2-s folding. It's what they are good at.

Not to mention massive bottlenecks on quad SLI.

I think the best option is to kepp gxt260s and add gx2 but the problem is psu even gx2 uses less power in folding.
