It's worse than a single  GTX 780 Ti on a better measure of perceptible image quality (99% percentile framerate, rather than gross framerate)

This is meant for 4K, and at 4K it absolutily shows a noticable difference.  It would be silly to buy even a 780 for 1080p.

 

P.S.  That is also 1 game, and a crappy one at that.  You are ignoring benchmarks where this thing stomps a 690 by over 50%:

Or double's the 690's minimum framerate:

1. The review is done at 4K resolution.

2. It's not one game, that's an average

3. I don't believe framerates or minimum framerates are the best measure of what you'd want from a card. I prefer when stuttering is taken into account, such as 99th percentile frame time (but it doesn't have to be that). So, yes, I'm ignoring benches showing huge raw frame leads when those don't translate into a better experience for the buyer.

The 295X2 doesn't have frame varience problems.  The 290 series was built from the ground up to avoid them, and they were fixed in the 7000 series months ago.  Frankly the link you provided is the only one I have seen complain about it, and i am inclined to say something in their testing caused problems due to the fact that all the other reviewers show no frame varience problems...

EDIT: Here the 295X2 has lower frametimes than a single 780 Ti.  So the 780 Ti is now far worse based on your logic right?
