Well, even with not CF you get 5870 performance and that's not far from GTX 480, but most cases you get CF performance that's far beyond GTX 480. I think you have a valid point though, it's something one must take into account.

All I'm seeing is the same sites using the same games.

I'm sure you could find some others that people play.

Not knocking the review, it's pretty decent but a different set of games would differentiate you from the other sites. Unless of course Nvidia forced a certain set of games on you...
Aware of that, but a couple of games refused to work and with limited time ... well that's the way she goes (to quote a certain Canadian drunk trailer park owner). For reviews you need to cover the biggest and most popular games foremost, to satisfy the masses, and secondary try to cover the hardcore users, which are outnumbered. Sadly that's what gets the hits and what pays the bills.

DirectX 11 benchmarks and games are quite limited too, when it all comes around there is a fairly narrow selection of games to use to get the proper coverage. We've had many game requests, even things like EVE Online, CS 1.6, and similar games, but I'm not sure that would really be the best benchmarks. We're listening to the readers though and trying to adapt to what they want to read

And when you do include games that are "uncommon" people have a tendency to knock on that because they can't confirm the numbers at other sites

In all fairness, a more personalized game setup is not a bad thing though. Maybe we should bring back GTA4, WoW, and some other older games that are stilled played even though they are a bit outdated.
