Higher WEI score with single 7950 than with CrossfireX 3x7950?
3x7950 in CrossfireX, WEI Score: 7.6
1x7950 WEI Score 7.9

Anyone know why?

Side note: Bought the rig for mining, but with the dual purpose of gaming. These numbers are driving me crazy though... Thought I'd ask if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong.

WEI isn't really much of a benchmark. The reason is probably due to the PCI_e running slower because you have 3 cards. I wouldn't worry about it though, its not a good gauge of performance.
 
Agree with the above, WEI isnt even a decent indicator of performance. Iv had my CPU score change by .3 just by running it again the next day, no changes whatsoever.
Use something like 3DMark 11, youl see a big difference in score there.
