Are you asking about undergraduate or graduate admissions?
The SAT is taken in high school, and used for undergraduate admissions. SAT scores most definitely effect your application to universities in the US. Universities in the UK use the results of British standardized testing rather than American ones, but they consider SAT scores from international students who haven't taken the British examples. They'll also accept standardized testing results form a few other countries, so you'd want to check on that before you apply.
The GRE is a graduate school admissions test that you take during your 3rd or 4th year of college. You don't take them when you're applying for admission to an undergraduate program. If you're applying to a graduate program, then you'd take the GRE (and not the SAT), and the results would certainly effect your application.
BTW, of the schools you mentioned, only Harvard is actually a member of the Ivy League. The Ivy League is actually an athletics league, and only includes certain old schools on the East Coast of the United States.

Yes they affect your chances to top universities. I got 2 perfect scores in math and reading, but my writing score was only 720, for a total of 2320. I only read this SAT guide, and that is how I got such high scores:

I recommend this guide to anyone seeking to get a higher score to get into a first choice college.

750 or above. I can see that people above me are saying 700+, however admission standards are getting tougher and tougher. There are more applicants now than ever, and even more will come, so 700 wouldn't really cut it (unless accompanied by extensive volunteering, a stellar essay, and the like.)

I've never heard that universities in the U.K. were using these test scores for admission, but extremely high scores (along with many other qualities) are essential for admission to the U.S. universities you mention.
