I would say the main part of your problem is that "2 NVIDIA 8500GT graphics cards" = "Very poor performance".

Why didn't you buy one good card instead of two weak ones? Here's a look at how your SLi config rates (I'll give you a hint, scroll to the bottom):

8500GT sucks, trade both and add some more money for 8800GT. 8800GT performs remarkably well, even surpassing 8800GTX in certain areas.

A single 7900GT is MUCH better than two 8500GT's!
