I dont think it will really increase his FPS. They are most likely for multiple monitors.

I run a single 7800 and it does a fine job, however I ended up deleting the sub surface textures mod as that was a bit much in harbors.

Speaking of multiple monitors... check this thing out ! http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=m...view/th2go.htm

Nice ideea with the flight-sim there .Pretty cool!
Oh and about the fps' .It probably wouldn't increase average fps' to much BUT it will have 2x the memory and 2x the memory speed so loading textures and things like you said in ports would probably have less or no effect at all.

I got 2x Nvidia 6600 GT Pci-x and you get FPS increase but only if the game supports SLI like COD 2 otherwise only improvement is in lack of LAG with games like BF2 if you run it on high settings with AA on

7900GTX 512mb here, SH3 runs nice'n smoothly even around ports. If i accelerate time to 1024 it burbs for about 10 secs when close to a city/port.

I just got the 7600GT AGP version and my SH3 performance
went down from an ATI 9600XT. doesen't make any sense,
12 pipes vs 4. more mem. 128/256 and I bumped my FSB
from 133/175 then bought a Volcano extreme 12 cooler for
my XP2100 and run it @ 2.3Ghz. everything else runs faster
and my benches went way up but SH3 runs like total crap so
I guess I'll be trying different drivers from Nvidea to see if
I can correct problem. Sucks cause SH3 is THE game I did
all this for!!

I run a ATI XT850 256mb it runs SH3 well if you don't go over board with extras. I say save the money and wait until you can just get a top dog video card but thats my shopping style.

Have you plugged in the power cable to the graphics card? Many forget that these cards require more power.
