ive gott a lot of projects, and have my 2 gtx 580's in sli already but they are each running 1 task. is it going to be a better cruncher if i set boinc to "see" one card (is it like 2x faster?)

so should my gpus be running a task each themselfs, or make them work as one?

SLI or no SLI makes no difference to BOINC, it'll see the separate GPUs and use them as individual ones, not as one GPU such as games do.
