Xtreme X.I.P.
I agree with the notion that AFR is often beneficial. As someone who has actually used XF for an extended period of time on 4K cards, it's obvious beyond belief that for some games it makes a marked improvement in not only framerate but also user perceived fluidity. This isn't always the case, but for most of the gaming I've done it has been.
For those graphs to matter whatsoever, they'd have to show what a single GPU would have done at that same exact moment so a comparison about the differences in timing can be made. If you're going to compare to a single card in your conclusion (eg XF is worse than a single GPU), you MUST have data from a single card or the analysis is forfeit.
Last thought: If you don't like AFR, use supertiling. It may not always provide the best benefit, but you won't suffer from frame AFR frame timing issues. You can select whatever you want to use now.

Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
