Cpu bottlenecking cards?

Will an x2 3800 bottleneck 2x x1900xtx's when playing oblivion? Im sure this is why some people are getting lower performance than they should. Adding to that a 3800 will only perform like a 3000/3200 because oblivion doesnt really take advantage of dual core (even though it claims to).

games like oblivion are not cpu limited even a quad sli setup is gfx card limited in games like oblivion and fear unless you run them with low details at 640x480

I wouldnt be so sure, there are some scaling graphs which show how oblivions framerate increases as the clock speed increases and that there is barely any framerate difference between 640x480 and 1600x1200 which can only mean that the cpu is holding the gfx cards back. @2.2ghz.

Though im not sure wether your saying that the gfx cards wont be bottlenecked by the cpu or that the cpu doesnt limit the fps because the gfx cards arent powerfull enough.
