The pixel fill rate is how fast it makes the pixels "show up" from what i understand.

when using SLI you have the same amount of RAM as one card would have.

in SLI each card calculates every other frame and puts them together, so under 30 fps would be bad.

however, the GTX 250 uses GDDR3 which is slower than the GTX 470's GDDR5, with this info, one GTX 470 should out preform 2 GTX 250's in SLI.

also with the GTX 470 you can upgrade to SLI later for more advanced games- so it is more future proof.

also given are some benchmarks

GTX 250 SLI :http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/gf-gts250-sli_8.html#sect0

GTX 470: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/30321-nvidia-geforce-gtx-470-review-18.html

the benchmarks show the GTX 250 in SLI going a little faster- but you can't upgrade it in the future, leading to you needing to replace it.

the choice is up to you, it is your opinion. good luck with your gaming rig
