But it at least lets us know if the issue is merely game related.

What's your gpu usage like? Is it maxed in bf4? You using mantle? It's strange, that card should destroy a titan black,
Exactly. If the OP would just run a benchmark like the one I mentioned it would let us all know if his card is running how it should in it even if it is not in the games he tested.

Running a bench like 3dmark11 can tell a lot about the complete system and depending on where the PC does not so well can pinpoint a problem with the CPU, GPUs, RAM etc.
OP can you download and run the free version of 3dmark11 and post the results link.
If you are using Mantle on BF4 @4K this could be one of the problems as it is total garbage at that resolution and just eats up VRAM and throttles performance. It is the same story on Thief as well @4K, in both cases DX11 will give a smoother gaming experience with better minimums.
D3 does not like crossfire. Running D3 on my 7990 causes some odd ripples.
Crossfire disabled it is perfectly fine.
Even a quarter of the 295x2's power should surely destroy D3 anyway and should never "chug" along. If it does it is more than likely the game at fault!

I read that in a Half Life 1 Gordon Freeman voice....
Do you have GPU-Z?
A couple of quick checks might be to make sure the slot is correctly running at 16x and that the X2 is clocking up from 2D to 3D clocks when you enter a game.
If either aren't working properly performance is going to suck.

Under bus interface it should say PCI-E 2.0 or 3.0 x16 @ x16.
Then under the sensors tab, if you run a game with GPU-Z in the background, you should be able to see the CPU/Memory clock up and down when you enter a game on the little red graph.
