the 295x2 is stupid, it costs about the same as two 780ti's and in slower in most games and only marginally faster in the ones it beats the sli 780ti's in - something a minor OC would counter easilly. (or just a factory OC)

AMD aren't making a joke out of anyone.

Pretty sure that a 780TI starts at around $700 ...

I'm talking about the present, not the past ... Last time I checked at amazon and newegg, 780TI's were usually around $700, not $650. You can get a R9 295X2 for $1000 now like you said. 

above prices are present, cheapest option is Zotac, for $860 for two, every single 295 x2 they have is $999, so you can have two 780ti superclocked in sli for $139 less, and have comparable/better performance in virtually all games.

Got done figuring out the average prices the average prices for newegg and it's around $550 ... Microcenter is clearing the stock with a price of $500. What I said about amazon prices remain true for the most part. Tiger Direct sells them for roughly $650. NCIX is retailing them for around $700 ... 

So you go on about current prices and specifically state newegg, it gets pointed out that theyre as cheap as $430 ON NEWEGG and then you go off on a tangent about other stores and averages?

Point is you can still buy two 780ti's and get better overall performance, for less than the price of a 295x2.

You were wrong, that's all there is to it.


They should cost less than a 295x2 considering they take up twice the room and have less VRAM.  The fact that you have to look for them costing less shows how great of a deal the 295X2 is in comparison.
