I enjoyed the review thank you.
Personally, as one or two others mentioned, I think the frametime analysis should have been its own separate article among multiple xfire/SLI setups.
Who would think frametime on a multi-gpu setup would compete with a single card? Has that ever been the case? If not, why build a review around it?
It's okay to say (if warranted) that AMD frametime sucks butt compared to Nvidia frametime. It's also okay to back up your user experience with frametime data if that user experience simply sucked due to the issue. ...but to include a chart and discuss it on every game? It then becomes the focus and In my mind, changes into a xfire frametime review.
Review page 4:
"After disabling Wind Effected Snow, "Ultra" settings were very enjoyable in this game on RX 480 CrossFire at 1440p with great framerates."
.... and further down, when bringing up frametime:
"There is quite a big difference in The Division in frametime between AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB CrossFire frametime and GeForce GTX 1080 frametime. This coincides with what we felt in this game on CrossFire."
Which is it? I'd argue if the play was "very enjoyable.... ....with great framerates" then putting excessive focus on discussing frametime seems disingenuous.
