Who says that SLI does not scale well ?

It seems that 9600GT SLI is 8.15% faster on average

It seems that 9600GT scales very well on SLI.

Wow, that's really impressive! 82% increase??? that's really good.
Is this the same for all cards? I haven't seen an SLi or Crossfire PC in action yet.
Is the Two cards option better than one of the same value?

I know, SLI is much better these days then it was in the past, and people still seem to think that theres only a 20% difference.

It does seem like having two 9600GT's is the best way to go, except if you really care about 3DMark scores. I can't wait to see what the 9800 has in store!

is the 8800GT still worth it then? i'll be buying my video card in a few weeks and im terrified about making the wrong choice
