2x 450 is nice, just a little more money than a 460 1GB and you get decent of performance.

Techspot did some testing with SLI; here's the benchmark for Metro 2033 and SC Conviction:

Typically falls between 5850 and 5870, about the same as a 470. For about the same money, you can get a 5850 or 470 and save the hassle of SLI. Or go a bit further and get 2x 460 and annihilate any single-GPU card on the market, but even a single 460 seems plenty powerfull at the moment.
(unless you insist on a constant 60fps or more)
