i have 2 of the 8800 gts's and i got my QX6850 Oced to 3.66 now and my memory @ 1050mhz so far
i ran aqua mark and got up to now 171,ooo close to
but in my GPUZ PROGRAM IT SAYS NO SLI and my PC wizzard it says NO SLI?
but in my ntune program i enabled it!

I don't know that sli helps much in an older benchmark. I tried what you said and get similar confusing results.

141,271 sli enabled
141,706 sli disabled (got me, yep it went up)
re-enabled sli, restarted computer
142,225 after restart with sli enabled.

System specs, Q6600 and a pair of 8800gt
Everything is running stock speeds for now as the system is only a week old and I still working out a few audio driver bugs.

I would give it a try on 3dmark06 and see it it makes a difference or not. The newer benchmark may show a larger performance gap.

THNX
i enabled the sli visual usage in the nvidia control panel when i ran the bench mark later and it showed me the sli was doing what it was supposed to do

so its good 2 GO
