Motherboard: ASUS P9X79 DELUXE, Intel 3930k 3.2GHz - G.SKILL 64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR3 1600

Your GPU's require a total of 32 PCIe lanes yet your CPU provides only 16.
You are wasting about 2/3 of your GPU's compute resources because your CPU doesn't have enough bandwidth to operate both cards at load.
To fix this problem you need to upgrade to a Ivy Bridge CPU which has 2x16 PCIe lanes.
