Re-run the benchmark using the same settings as this:

The biggest difference is they use no AA and you use 8x.

The min 4.3 fps worries me. They get min 18.6 fps.

I installed the gtx 460 drivers from nvidia and installed the SLI PROFILE UPDATE 6. Is there something else I need to install? Is there a SLI Driver? Or should I change the settings of my SLI in the nvidia control panel?

This is a good question. Do I need special SLI drivers? All I had was the latest Nvidia drivers installed. That was a day before I added a second card, and I put it in, enabled SLI, and hadn't updated any drivers since.

Ok,I learned a couple things, also being fairly new to sli. There are new drivers available as of yesterday. 260.99 , you don't want to install the sli profile update patch if its dated before the driver release your using. It can overwrite new tweaked sli profiles that now exist within the driver package, breaking them.
This is the case with F1 I believe.
Crossfire from AMD handles their profiles differently, they release a new profile separately with or more often than every driver release. So you always need to d/l and install that.
But not with SLI, unless they go a while without releasing a new driver, and new games come out. You will see them release a sli update patch. Evga also publishes one, but the same thing goes, concerning theirs, imo. Don't install it over newer drivers.

Id overclock the CPU you have for some more FPS!
