Abstract: In the graphics card market it has become common in recent years for AMD and NVIDIA to launch multi-GPU cards as their flagship products. Taking two of their high end GPUs and fitting them on to one PCB to maximise performance. Today AMD launch their mult...
Obscenely fast, Very smooth performance, Perfect candidate for 4K gaming, Runs relatively cool and reasonably quiet, More than two R9 290Xs
May require a new PSU, Price, but that is the nature of the beast
AMD's engineers set out to create the world's fastest gaming graphics card when constructing the Radeon R9 295X2 8GB behemoth. Though rival Nvidia has also announced a dual-GPU card based on high-end technology, Titan Z, we can only dole out advice on pr...
Abstract: When AMD introduced their latest top model graphics card the Radeon 290X, rumours started surfacing very quickly about AMD working on a dual GPU version of their latest chips. As AMD has marketed a dual GPU card of their high end GPU's over the last yea...
Incredible cooling performance, Better value than GTX Titan Z, Offers a huge amount of performance – 4K 60Hz ready, Convenient all in one CrossFireX solution, Represents a huge improvement over past AMD Dual GPU solutions
Coil whine, High power consumption, Power delivery outside ATX spec, a risky game to play – lowers efficiency and strains PSUs, Loud fans even though temperatures are low, Eye-wateringly expensive, Needs some fine tuning,
PricingAMD's R9 295X2 has an MSRP of $1500 (excluding VAT and sales tax) which is going to be about £1100~ or €1400 in the UK and Europe (including VAT and sales tax @ 20%). The warranty of the R9 295X2 will vary between graphics card vendors.Overview AMD...
As one of the most vocal critics of AMD's past board designs, I'm satisfied with the choices it made in enabling two Hawaii GPUs on one graphics card. Radeon HD 6990, Radeon HD 7970, Radeon HD 7990, Radeon R9 290—all of those products were remarkable in...
We've not always been too impressed by dual GPU offerings, often finding them to be underwhelming experiences due to driver issues and performance bugs. We know this isn't representative of everyone's experience, and that plenty of people still use and...
Fastest graphics card that money can buy, looks set to be at least half the price of the Titan Z from Nvidia, Ultra HD 4K leader, we love the flight case, no maintenance watercooling system,
Can get quite loud under load when the water heats up, smallish cooling system has to work hard, 240mm radiator and dual fans would have performed better, Needs a beefy, high quality power supply, Kitguru says: Look up the word ‘performance' in the Englis
KitGuru was one of the first tech publications to regularly incorporate Ultra HD 4K testing into high end graphics card reviews last year. When you see titles such as Battlefield 4, Tomb Raider, Thief 2014 and Metro Last Light running at 3840×2160 there r...
These dual GPU reviews typically go the same way for me: I harp on AMD’s solution for being too loud and lacking proper driver support or talk about NVIDIA’s alternative which benefits from a low noise profile and higher performance metrics due to bett...
One of the most powerful single card GPUs in the market right now, Runs cool, despite power consumption
Price, Requires a high wattage PSU to run properly
The AMD R9 295X2 is a beast in terms of size, price, performance and power consumption. Would we recommend this card to you? Yes, but only if you don't mind paying exorbitant amounts of electricity bills.(previously published in issue October 2014)...
Abstract: Announced by AMD less than a couple of month ago, the company's latest dual GPU offering has been hailed by enthusiasts and overclockers around the world as what is possibly the world's most powerful graphics card. We're talking, of course, about the Rade...
