Honestly, the performance advantages between sli and trisli vary from gen to gen. It all depends on if you're overclocking and how much. For gaming, it depends heavily on the game playin nice with the drivers as well.
Makes me wonder if they should be work on a firmware update vs newer cards and drivers!
