Question #1- is your experience with real games like that as well? Or just 3dMark?

So we know if it's app specific.

Well, that's the good news. 3Dmark is irrelevant so my involvement ends with the advice:
Hit nVNews.net and do a search in the forums for 3DMark.

If you're going to have an app specific problem, 3DMark is the app to have it on! Enjoy the SLI!
