Bioshock

Bioshock (DirectX 10)

An impressive FPS-based game with a great story, Bioshock impresses with both graphics and its ability to drag you along in the gameplay.  It has both DX9 and DX10 render paths and should make a great benchmark for graphics cards promising the best of both worlds.

Two card SLI is pretty impressive on Bioshock but the 3-Way setup disappoints and only bumps performance a small bit at 2560×1600.  Compared to the 9800 GX2, the 9800 GTX is noticeably slower, as expected, though two of them are easily running past the dual-GPU card.
