comparing two 8GB 290X's is not equivalent to testing a theoretical 8GB card with twice the # cores.
Not equivalent, but very close, especially in applications that have good SLI/Crossfire scaling. Some are close to 100%.
Comparing two 4GB cards vs. two 8GB cards in SLI/Crossfire with the same GPU is precisely what can currently be done to see if the additional memory is of any considerable advantage or not.
