The takeaway message is R9 290 is unbeatable for perf/$. It edges out GTX 970 at 4k and is just 3% slower at 1080p. CF does not work in the majority of the suite and that hurts R9 295x2 badly in perf. Even Ryse Son of Rome does not work on CF. AMD has a lot of work to get CF working well in the latest games. GTX 970 SLI is the best multi GPU solution from a perf/$ point of view.

Kepler cards are being beaten across the board by the R9 counterparts. 780 Ti loses to R9 290X at both 1080p and 4k. At 4K 780 Ti is almost matched by R9 290 with a 2% gap. 780 is 10% slower at 1080p wrt R9 290 and at 4K is even further behind. R9 280X beats GTX 770 by 14% at 1080p. Quite embarassing for Kepler card owners who paid more for their cards compared to R9 owners.

Woof, they went from improving CFX to down right forgetting about it, again.

Glad I ditched my CFX 7970's. I'm already complaining one 780 isn't enough for 1440p, I'd be livid if I'd be dropped down to one 7970.

Yeah blame amd for poor multigpu support from mostly game works titles.

Painful to see GK104 doing so badly in recent games. But then what do I expect from a mid-range GPU of the last generation? Or maybe it's just poor optimization. The itch is there, to upgrade for sure
