Run them in a old school SLi config (assuming same VRAM size) and OC them as far as possible. 

 

That EVGA card looks nuts.

My point still stands even though it was sarcastic they are 10 years old and won't be able run anything but the oldest of games. Waste of electricity imo. Use them as decorations or sell them to a collector who knows?

They can only be used for benching now. Or OC'd for fun. Kinda like any GTX 400 series card. You only run one because it's fun to do so. I plan on picking up a few GTX 480s for kicks.

Until last year I had 2 460's on water. I can remember oc'ing them and playing games. The amount if heat the rads where pumping into my room was enough to make a genuine difference in temperture. I'd never be home except for 1 night after work I'd game for a few hours. I can remember sitting with extra layers of clothes and about 1 hour later I could get away with tshirt and shorts lol. Before I got rid of them Oc'ed and overvolted as much as I could in afterburner. They got to 85c on 2 x 240mm rads lol tbf for old cards in sli and overclocked the performance was ok.
