Getting the max. out of those 10Gig cards will require some performance tuning.
These links might help;

http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/tcptune/
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/People/vwelch/net_perf/tcp_windows.html

You can find additional links at the bottom of the Iperf project page (http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf)

You might also want to look at a different transport (other than TCP) like BIC-TCP, HSTCP, FAST, etc. BIC-TCP has been implemented in the latest linux kernel.
