Seems a little low, have you made sure that SLI is working and that you have the newest drivers? Which OS are you using?

Physically remove your non-essential graphics card and then run 3DMark06. Is your score lower or still the same? There should be at least a little difference if your SLI is working

You need to check the nVidia Control Panels SLi page to see if SLi is enabled.
