Well, unless there is a newer version than 1.3 which has changed how it operates, I'm afraid it is you that is incorrect my friend.
And if you are actually UNchecking Full Screen, I think it's REALLY unlikely you are using both cards. But I won't say I'm positive on that ...
What I will say, though, is that maybe you should try it again, using RT graphs open in the background.
Unless we have different versions of furmark, you should see that the second card will clock up to 3d at first, but then it will clock back to 2d clocks very shortly after the test begins running, and you'll also see that one gpu gets significantly warmer than the other (about 10C difference in my case, although they do both go up ... kinda to be expected with a 295).
I just now did it, both in full screen and windowed, and the result in the RT graphs was the same in both cases. One card drops down to 2d clocks, for sure, after about 30 seconds into the test ... happens both full screen or windowed ...
Maybe my Furmark is just older though, I forget when I grabbed it, so if that's changed, I apologize
