    Cpus was too slow
    lol, cpus havent been limiting the cards at all... :P
    check sli and crossfire scores, even running 2 cards in 1024x768 isnt limiting the cards at all, so cpu power is not whats keeping the scores low, its the vpu power!

    11fps... well if its not optimized yet we might see 13fps or 15fps, but it wont go much above that if you ask me... :/
    but since nvidia is showcasing this they have had it for weeks if not months and its already optimized...

    SLI is especially CPU limited, and since there's so much driver overhead involved with it, multithreaded 80 series Forceware drivers paired up with a dual core CPU give you some good improvements over single core.
