As you would expect in this type of synthetic testing, 3DMark Vantage shows significant GPU scaling going from a single GTX 480/470 to a pair of them.  Other than our 3DMarks scores that scale by as much as 87% at the Extreme resolutions, we see the dual-GPUs benefiting in fill rates and theoretical maximum shader processing ability but not in the areas of GPU particle and cloth simulation due to algorithmic intricacies.
