I think you need to read the article carefully. EVGA may be characterizing it as one card with furmark running, but that was a test site doing that to try and recreate the conditions that caused reports from a number of different owners of the cards of them burning up on them.
Normal usage has GPU usage ranging from low to high peaks over time. Folding will tend to be fairly steady high usage. If I owned one of these cards, the thermal transfer pads to go from the VRM to the heat sink is the minimum I would do, and make certain the BIOS update does get applied for increased fan speed when hot.
