Far Cry 3 is an impressive looking game but even in our single GPU results you can see there is a bit of a problem on both vendors cards. Not only do the GTX 680, GTX 690 and the GTX TITAN perform nearly identical in the raw average frame rate, but there is a LOT of frame variance in our time graph. The times do NOT create a nice tight line as we would like to see (and did see on BF3) and the frame stuttering is very apparent in the game as well.

The same patterns are really seen here though this time, but the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition and GTX 680 do fall a bit further behind the GTX 690 and GTX TITAN in average frame rate. Also, when you look at the percentile graph you can see that the HD 7970 has a big variance as we move to the 95th and 99th results – indicating an unacceptable amount of frametime variance.

I just spent a little over $1100 on 3 x 7970’s and against my friends new Titan, I basically walk over him in all benchmarks.

Except that Crossfire is a sham. You get no better performance than one card. Read the article before spouting. And Tech Report and Hardocp. Runt frames a real disaster for Crossfire as they can be seen, measured, and exposed, unlike the fraps number which includes totally degraded frames in their fps number you rely on. Latencies have long been an issue with AMD cards and this clarifies in Crossfire.
