what OS are you running?
if its vista you need to download a hot fix to correct an sli bug.

as long as your FPS are better in actual games its working. 3dmark doesn't always scale very well at all. just a pointer but SLI will always really show its muscle at higher resolutions, try 1600x1200 or anything around that.

im almost thinkin it isnt werth a 10% increase i might sell the card. not sure yet tho

you should be getting a 30% increase, i suggest a fresh install of windows. thats what i usually do with any major hardware change. makes sure theres no old drivers or bugs clogging up your performance.
