no worries mate atleast you are making constructive commentshttp://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ATI/HD_4890_CrossFire/6.html
Try that review for a start. The GTX295 costs more so the comparison is fair. If you're talking single card, I've already agreed the GTX295 is the fastest card available, but its not worth the price differential.
@Kmufc, sorry for disrupting the topic, I'll leave you to it

Kmufc, take a look at the review AlexRose linked to, it might make you feel better about your cards.
Oh, was the build a fresh windows install when you installed those cards?
My crossfire build was a bit lacking even after using driver sweeper and such to get rid of the remains of old drivers, it took a full reformat to get their full potential.

@Leeroy123 there are other things to consider apart from just synthetic benchmarks. It's common knowledge that drivers are geared up to specifically provide high 3dmark numbers and are not a fair representation of a card's true ability.
Aside from that there are other factors as well that people will consider in determining which card is best for them.
Factors such as price/performance ratio, power consumption, overclockability, noise, size, outputs, bundle, cooling solution, etc.
Its obvious that the highest performing card is not the "best" card. Take for example the Asus RoG Mars the diminishing returns in terms of price on performance is absolutely appalling and won't be considered by the vast majority.
It's probably for the best if you keep an open mind about demands other people may face too.
