Possible, but their system is about best single CPU PC out there which many people consider. Many people think about multiple GPUs, but this clearly shows that it's about pointless. Also- as they said their test wasn't stress test, but more real case scenario (no one is going to use 40 nodes of blur in real project).
I don't see any big/real problems with their test machines. They are about the best you can build as for single CPU machines.
There are possible issues eg.- by using RED footage they put high push on CPU, so this could be limiting factor.
They should show CPU and GPUs loads during tests, so this would tell us more about system balance.
They could also use DNxHR etc as source- this would free CPU and let GPUs shine more. But yet again- this is real case scenario. People do build these machines for RED footage and this shows that 3xGPUs (even with fastest CPUs out there) is pointless.
