Try a Sandy Bridge at 4.7GHz (or even better an Ivy Bridge) and you'll get different results me thinks, especially on lower resolutions. Let those little beasts -your GFX cards- breathe.

Apart from that, great review as always very methodic and the most informative compared to all the other sites...
I agree in the part that sli and cfx will be bottlenecked with the i7 920. at least in 1080p
