Okay guys I am buying new graphics cards and i just want to know one thing. Which would be better, two GTX 260 216 supercloked edition in sli or one GTX 285 ssc? I really want to know because they both cost about the same, but which option would offer the best performance. By the way I would be running these on a EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard.

the GeForce GTX 260 is look like the little brother of the GeForce GTX 280.
Quite honestly it's the same GTX 280 GPU that amounts up-to 1400 million transistors. yet internally some computer power lovin' has been disabled.
 
Well, in this link, a single GTX 280 outperformed GTX 260's in SLI, so I would
imagine that a single 285 would outperform them also:

dont be so quick to assume that because of an average fps. if you max out all those games, the sli 260 clearly and definitively beats the 280.

a summary of fps at 1920/1080 with AA and AF shows the 260's in a clear lead:
