So which GPU(s) could yield 30fps or more average framerate in Vista64 with Very High (not tweaked stuff)?

One GTX 280, two GTX280s?

One 8800gt gets very unplayable at Very High, but with cinematic motion blur 24fps or more is pretty acceptable.

Not going ATI due to them not being the best for 3d work, which I do for a living.

Thanks.

Specs are,
Q6600 @ 3.46ghz, 8800gt@721/830/1010, Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi, 8800gt, 8gb RAM, Thermaltake 750w Toughpower Modular PSU, Coolermaster Stacker, X-fi, 74gb Raptor (16mb cache)

Edit:
I like the SLI 260 suggestions from XionX2, so now I need suggestions on a good motherboard. My Asus has served me well, but it's not a SLI boards. Needs to be DDR2.

Possible candidate,
ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
