But for now I have all the settings set to max and the fps is good to go.. Only every so often will I see a pause/studder

I know what you mean there about power and heat issues. I was pretty reluctant to go with SLI, but I added a good quality power supply when I made up my new rig just in time for COD's release. The cards are a little too close for my liking to enable decent heat dissipation, but I reckon I have enough fans and ventilation (especially as I made sure I have tight cable grouping to help air flow) in the case anyway. There's actually a spare PCI-e slot free on my m/b, but I reckon 3 is just excessive, and I'd have to buy a much bigger p/s. I was kinda miffed that I had to lose my trusty Audigy card though, and go with onboard sound; there just wasn't room for it. Onboard sound is way better than it was a few years ago though.
I actually prefer one good videocard, but I only bought my first GTX460 a couple of months back, and I'd just don't feel like shelling out $AUS350+ for a better card when I paid $AUS220 for this one. Besides, I bought a twin GTX460 card off eBay for such a good price.
