Well I have now read Robert Galbraiths article and he has actually tried one he says
when set to FX Format and the card is a SanDisk Extreme IV (or, presumably, other fast UDMA-capable cards), is 64 Large Normal JPEG, 17 NEFs (14 bit) and 20 NEFs (12 bit).

He also confirms:
FX Format This mode uses the full 23.9mm x 36mm capture area of the sensor and produces 12.05 million pixel photos. The D3 will shoot continuously at up to 9 fps in this mode.

DX Format This mode uses a 16mm x 24mm capture area and produces 5.14 million pixel photos. The D3 will shoot continuously at up to 9 fps in this mode. In DX Format mode, the camera will also shoot at 10 fps or 11 fps, but with some limitations. At 10 fps, automatic exposure locks and the exposure throughout the burst is based on the meter reading prior to the first frame in the sequence. At 11 fps, exposure also locks before the first frame plus autofocus is disabled.
