I'll agree with that for the most part, except for your last comment.
See this article:

Scaling looks pretty good from the Radeon HD 3850, however it's still not as good as what NVIDIA is able to achieve with the 8800 GT. NVIDIA consistently achieves about 11% better scaling from one to two GPUs than AMD.

ASUS Z170-Pro
Skylake i7-6700K @ 4600 Mhz
MSI GTX 1070 Armor OC
32 GB G.Skill Ripjaws V
Samsung 850 EVO (2)
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2
Corsair Hydro H90
NZXT S340
I could be wrong. I was relying on the following:

which is more extensive than the Anand testing and seems to show the CFed 3870s more competitive against the SLI GTs than the single card comparison. Drivers and i780 could certainly change that though.
The Anand comparison is worthless, with Catalyst 7.10.
