Not true... more close to 50%.

That's a low end card which as bandwitdh issues. Also that's an average of games some of which don't scale well. The ones that scale do at almost 90% efficiency. However you have games like Batman Arkham Asylum which don't scale at all. Essentially console ports usually suck at scalling

Games like Farcry 3, Crysis 3, Metro 2033 or any powerhouse games that are properly coded for PCs often see 100% scalling with second GPU.
