I've seen 200k+ requests/second on a smaller box than you have.

Usually, your testing tool is the bottle neck.

I usually run one nginx worker per CPU core. Not sure why more than 5 wouldn't improve performance, the processes are generally independent.

Make sure you are using buffered access logs (if using them) and you have worker_rlimit_nofile set high (like 256k).
