I get what you say and kind of good advice in general but it's a little more complicated than this. Tflops measure the limits in compute power a chip can have at corresponding clocks. It is actually very precise to determine the capacity of a chip in a nutshell. However, this is only 1 part of the story the others can all be summed up by what % you can actually use in any given scenario or in other words, how starved the chip actually is. It can be starved with an insufficient memory pool, insufficient memory bandwidth, and insufficient power delivery. 

Again. Teraflops is absolute bullshit. It literally represents nothing.

It represents clock multiplied by core count as you know well. If it truly was completely useless as you would have people believe then it wouldn't exist in the first place. I also wouldn't be able to say with 100% confidence that lowering the clock of my GPU till it is 4TF will make it perform worse than running it at it's stock 5.3TF.

No TF alone is not accurate in representing the difference in GPU performance when there are other differences such as memory bandwidth or a completely different architecture such as your example of the 5870 vs the 7850. But I've seen you complain about others using TF a few times and it's not going to change anyone's mind especially when you use examples of a completely different architecture or ddr3 vs gddr5 to prove your point when the person using TF's is comparing RDNA2 to RDNA2.

People will keep using TF's and that will never change. There's no point you getting annoyed about it.
