Possibly lower scores on SLI gtx 560! Seeking help to improve performance

[xioticin]

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here so please inform me if at any point I forget necessary details.

I am running :

Intel i5 2500k 3.3 overclocked to 4.4 (stock voltage; auto oc on mobo)
2x 4gb Kingston ram at 1600 mhz
1200 watt Kingwin PSU
1x Crucial m4 128gb SSD
Gigabyte z68-d3h-b3 motherboard
Azza Solano 1000 Case ( I feel that is more than adequate for the cooling needs of my parts)
Cooler Master n520 for processor

2x Nvidia EVGA Superclocked Gtx 560 (not ti):
Core: 950 MHz
Mem : 2150 MHz
Volt :1050 mV

My temps at idle on processor are around 35-40*C
My temps at idle on gpu's is 34-36*C
On load my processor hits 70*C ish
On load my gpu's hit 68-71*C

3D Mark 11 Scores:

3DMark Score P7756
Graphics Score 8005
Physics Score 7431
Combined Score 6644

So basically my question is, do these scores look accurate to any degree? It seems like some of the scores I saw on here of single 570's and dual 460's are comparable, but I think I should be scoring higher than this. I am looking for any assistance on this and hope to see this is just some setting I have overlooked. I appreciate any help given.

For 560 sli they seem fine IMO. Lt others come in tho

See, that's kind of what I thought. Until I started looking around for other 3D Mark 11 scores, I figured my scores were adequate.

I have had issues up and down with SLI already though. After a fresh install of windows 7 64 bit, I have always had to tweak and test to get my cards back into proper performing state for most games. Since so far I have had to learn the sweet spot just to reach this performance, I am really seeking information from the more educated to get my system to its peak performance level.

I almost posted this into cpu/overclocking simply because it might be an issue with that as well. I am truly hoping to get some light shed on this entire situation so that I can be done with all this hassle in time for D3

What does 3d mark show? For similar systems?

2x 560 ti with similar system specs and lower PSU got p8401. Now I know the Ti is different, it isn't that much different! I have seen scores even higher than that.

Ti has more shaders

I am well aware of that, but does that warrant an entire 1000 points over 2x 560's that are overclocked?
