Please stop double posting. If you want to add information to the thread and no one has replied since your latest post, please use the

I merged all your double posts this time (so that's why you went from 29 to 20 posts), but in the future please don't do it again, thank you

I think you're abit misinformed bud. The 3930k is PCI-E 2 only. I've got the C2 version and it doesn't have 3 I double checked here because I thought maybe I was mistaken.

Why would that cause such a major problem?
Cards communicate through the SLI bridge. They are getting half the bandwidth from the cpu/memory but that shouldn't cause such a drop in performance

They weren't double posts. They were completely separate ideas . When you're awake for 18
hours testing things and feel like you're on the verge of some new information to contribute to the thread you don't necessarily feel like editing the same post over and over again.
Thats literally what double posting is. The only time double posting is acceptable is when the thread is old, you were the last poster, and you feel you must post.
Ah that explains it then. Someone on the phone at EVGA told me that. A tech. I thought it was strange but I took his word for it. Thanks for clarifying.
It's not a problem for me.
Which is far less annoying than derailing my thread instead of PMing me over the forums to let me know of the rule.
I'll stop the double posts but no more off topic stuff in here please.

Thats another double post. I'm not derailing the thread, because that was a reply to your comment.

Derailing is changing the subject from the OPs. This is now the third time. Please stay on topic and if you have nothing to contribute to the thread pertaining to that subject then kindly exit.
No need to get all defensive, anyway good luck with your problem.
Not trying to. I'm a very nice and tolerant person. You'd probably actually like me. It's just that I have absolutely zero patience left. I've been all over forums all day every day replying to people trying to help me out but I'm getting nowhere. Since April!!!!

No sir but thanks for checking in.

I have input, but you may not want to hear it.
You should verify, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that your PSU is In good working order.
If you can't get it properly tested, then put another one in there to test the system with.
A bad PSU can generate an untold number of weird activities in a computer. A good PSU is the first step in building a properly functioning PC and the more complex the PC is, the more important the PSU is.
Your next step should be to get ahold of another PSU.

Run kingpins 780ti's in sli. Run the deafult furmak benchmark. On gpu-z screenshot the "graphic card" and "sensors" tabs 10 minutes into the test.
damaged traces on the pci-e tab of the gpu causing it to run with less lanes is my only guess left as to why is might be happening.
edit:
my other guess is a faulty pcie controller in the cpu

Rambo I was thinking CPU also. Common dimominator besides the gpus
Ps.

i would make sure i have all the net frameworks installed the redistributable direct x packages (9 and up)
and the c++ packs.
and if i did id install them again any way.

Out of curiosity have you tried a different PSU ?
And you said your using a Rosewill PSU, A buddy of mine in the states has gone through quite a few of them saying they are very hit and miss a bit like the OCZ PSU's of old.

Yup still insisting that this is a power delivery problem ^^
Alright everyone so tonight I got busy with trying to figure out my driver issue first. It was irritating me. A friend suggested (like some of you) that I try to get windows update to work to try out some drivers.. so I did. It wouldn't work... repeatedly. I followed a guide online (found here: http://windowsforum.com/threads/windows-update-keeps-checking-for-updates-forever.73958/page-2) to get it to work. It finally did. I installed a bunch. My chipset stopped giving me issues with the driver (finally).
I figured my issue might have been solved so I decided to check the FPS. Long story short still terrible. My CPU usage wasn't going high enough and.. best I can tell... was bottlenecking my GPUs. I ran a CPU stress test (built into kombustor). Here are my FAIL results:
I needed some confirmation though (a GPU only test) that the CPU was holding my SLI setup back. I was still getting issues with Kombustor telling me I didn't have OpenGL installed so I deleted my video drivers and put them on again. That solved that issue.
Then I ran a GPU test. Settings were all pre set for me. Here are the results:
The results (seemed) pretty good so I ran intel burn test. I don't have a screenshots of those results but long story short my CPU usage was high but the clock remained low.
Further confirmation still necessary. Ran a CPU intensive (no gpu) physx test:
One last test (by your request). Furmark (shown below). The first card was getting pretty warm so I bumped the fan speeds for both to 80%:
After these tests I tried to OC my CPU via AI Suite to 4.0 GHz via a preset. No luck. Won't OC.
Thanks everyone for the help. Gather from the results what you will. I'm tired and irritated, lol. I found another power supply tonight (800W continuous). I'm going to test that hooked up to my system with a single kingpin card when I wake up. I also have to send in my old motherboard to Asus. Hopefully this isn't a mobo issue so I don't have to deal with them again.
EDIT:
I hooked both my video cards up to a voltage tester tonight. They came out normal. Doesn't mean there still isn't something wrong with this PSU though. The PSU I would suspect much sooner than the video card. Right now, by the way (just before adding this reply) I did get a voltage warning from AI Suite (something about Warning: 5.0000V). Not sure if this is a false warning or not. I have been idling (with intermittent restarts) all day, though with no problems.
