Temps held to 39-41'C for 9-boxing, very stable. Smooth rendering across all windows... about 45-55 FPS on slaves and close to 60 FPS on my main's window.
SLI with SurroundView still enabled across 3 LCD screens, Main's game window is at 1920x1040 (affinity Core0-1, while all 8 slaves are at 960x520 distributed across 6 remaining cores). One thing to note, if you get a bulldozer 8-core CPU, it is strongly recommended to get an aftermarket CPU cooler that is highly rated for overclocking. CPU utilization is about 50% average on Core0-1, and about 80% on Core2-7.
