I finally made the leap to SLI, and like most of my upgrades I did some before-and-after benchmarks so I thought I'd share.
(I forgot to get a pre-upgrade Fire Strike benchmark, so I used Vantage since I already had a score recorded).
 
Specs:
Asus P8Z68-V pro
i7 2600k @ 4.3GHz
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws @ 1696 9-9-9-24
 

 
Some notes:
- Everything was done on Ultra or highest equivalent quality.
- Skyrim was done using various (and numerous) hi-res texture mods.  I saw the smallest gain here, probably due to the CPU bottlenecking with the sheer number of mods.
- Sleeping Dogs was done with the free HD texture pack DLC.
- For 3DMark Vantage I referenced the "Graphics Score" portion only. The total score was 30667 to 39094.

    Oh yes, sorry, I forgot to mention that.  It was 1920x1080.

    Thanks! Your comparison, for me is very, relevant as I want to upgrade and atm not really sure which path to follow: SLI or a newer card.
