Lets compare apples to apples dual GPU card to dual GPU card. The 295x2 comes factory liquid cooled and is half the cost of the TitanZ which it out performs. If you are looking at best price performance you are not looking at dual GPU cards.

But to you price/performance is all that matters, raw performance doesn't matter. Unless you are just an AMD fanboy so AMD can do no wrong...

I actually think that was pretty funny. And the reference cards from AMD are crap. Don't get me wrong, I have used AMD GPUs since I got rid of my geforce 4mx which was like 100years ago, I do love their chips and for me Thesen offer better value

Agreed 2 cards for 4k gaming. Although one card is enough for simpler titles.

Stay away from the reference cards although cheaper, unless you intend on water cooling they are simply too loud and hot.

I get excellent fps in every game, except ones that don't have crossfire support (company of heroes 2 for example)

Most benchmarks you see at 4k test with aa on and maxed out. You don't need it at this resolution and that's where people tell you it's not quite ready yet. Turn it off people makes barely any noticeable difference!!

I love AA super sampling it makes everything so crisp. Problem is now in days game devs use shit tier forms of AA such as TXAA and FXAA which blur the image and make it low all low res and muddy.

A wise one once told me to "ignore the troll"

But to ignore the troll you must be the troll.
