From what I hear there's several driver issues with the R9 295x2, and if you ask me, the minuscule power improvement over a 980ti for the increased power consumption and footprint is in no way, shape, or form what I would call "worth it."

I like the single card option, while the 295 is a noticeable amount faster, the dual card and occasional driver issues more or less negates the advantages in raw power.

But the price difference can lead to a different choice where the 295x2 is gonna be worth it. What resolution were we planning to use?

Put a cap at 60 and those numbers get even closer. The 980ti seems like a clear winner to me, but that's just my opinion.

If I can have a single GPU do the same job or a little less than two GPUs with much less energy. Why wouldn't I? People rely on benchmarks too much rather than common sense.

Also, efficiency and clean energy being supplied to your CPU/GPU/RAM means less free electrons and errors that need to be corrected.
