Regardless of your subscription to Darwin's beliefs, in any computing setup, a system always has it's weakest link. For an implementation as powerful as 3-Way SLI, the bottleneck ultimately shifts to the CPU and the associated components responsible for shifting the data through all those Stream Processors.

In the previous page, we compared the performance between a 4.4GHz overclocked QX9650 and a default 3GHz one. The difference in framerates were stark, showing how all but the latest games are currently CPU limited.

Invest in a fast CPU where possible when running existing generation multi-GPU setups. Extra memory would help too, as would a fast hard drive that dumps textures fast enough. When we're talking about a highend computer running on 3-Way SLI, compromise is definitely not an option when you want to squeeze your dollar for the ultimate in computing experience today.
