It doesn't matter if the title is what you consider balanced or not. What matters is overall gaming performance across the games you specifically want to play. Why the hell would you base your opinions of a card on theoreticals rather than what developers are *actually* making use of? It doesn't matter if a card has a petaflop of theoretical performance, if developers aren't making use of it and that allows the competitor to take the lead, then that makes the card a bad choice. It's the very reason we don't base our judgements solely on synthetic benchmarks, real-world performance is what matters.
