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.

It's not all about finding the cheapest prices. What I want is an average. It's as simple as that ... 

Using anomalies to further your argument gets you nowhere seeing as how the rest of the customers don't get the same prices. Why don't you owe up to your mistake of "R9 295X2 costs the same as 780TI in SLI" seeing as how the asking price for a 780TI is usually $650 ? 

Because you're moving the goalposts to sidestep your initial claims.

780ti prices are dropping because the 980 replaces it, using the prices from stores that havent yet dropped theirs is about as accurate as working in stores like this one : http://www.amazon.com/Radeon-Dual-R9-295X2-Series/dp/B00KMCMMRU/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1411626350&sr=8-12&keywords=295+x2

when working out the average for the 295x2

Multiple vendors selling multiple versions of the 780ti at sub $500 prices is not an anomaly.

My initial statement was you can buy two 780ti's for roughly the same price as a 295x2, and get the same performance and in many cases better performance.

Both parts of that statement are true.

you CAN buy two for the same or less than the 295x2
you WILL get comparable or better performance
