Hard Q man! IMO I dont think you can overcome the CPU limitation wiht the current CPUs

Please find out what exactly cpu limitation is..

Well at what resolution are you playing and what is your video setting?

CPU scaling:

We measured with 16 levels of AF enabled and had HDR activated also. As you can see with SLI, you lack CPU power quickly. Look at 10x7.

if you're at 1280x1024 you're cpu limited, if you play at 1600x1200 there will be very few games(in the last year or two) where you are cpu limited. the point is to up the resolution and image quality until you are limited by gpu, and limited to just a playable setting.

if you're talking benchmarking, you'll be cpu limited in 2k1, maybe 2k3, and not really 2k5 at all yet.
