AMD Radeon R9 295X2

Sporting Dual GPUs, 8GB DDR5 Memory, and liquid cooling, this thing is a beast.

Someone buy one for me, pretty please.

Check Out PC World's hands on review.

    I was wondering how they were gonna get two of those 95 degree running gpus on one pcb but that makes sense

    Yeah. It totally makes sense now. Two GPUs drawing that much power is gonna create a bunch of heat.

    I like the cooling solution. Wouldn't mind some other cards with a similar setup from the manufacturer.

    I wonder what people do with graphics cards this powerful when the detail of graphics has not made a major jump in years

    With DX12 coming, and MS having a deal with AMD building the CPU for XB1… do you guys think AMD graphics cards will have DX12 first (before NVidia) along with Mantle on their GPU's?

  11. Manuel Blissett April 8, 2014 at 22:29 - Reply

    I believe they will but in regards to dx12 I'm just tired of ms having the monopoly on the Windows api I really hope mantel catches on and becomes the preferred choice for devolpers even though I know ms has the pockets to ensure there continued dominance of bloatware that is dx

    That is funny… they would have to make mantle work first. NVidia is always ahead with driver quality. It really wouldn't make a difference even if AMD got DX12 first. Really in the PC market,who gives a shit about what makes the XB1 tick.

    It actually doesn't matter much to gamers. They just want to play. As a true gamer, I don't discriminate against platforms. But truth to the matter, AMD is inside Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft's machines. A universal API such as Mantle and AMD'a chipset in these machines allows programmers and game developers to push games out to multiple platforms in a more efficient manner.

    I just hate how inefficient dx has been since its creation and I hate how ms always trys to force u to buy the next shity version of Windows to use the newest version dx

    Got a point Benedict.. However, can you honestly say that the red realistically ever outperforms the green to make this point matter?

  17. Benedict Corpuz April 9, 2014 at 09:36 - Reply

    Not by much, +Troy Edin, but it works for me. I wasn't downplaying Team green at all. In the review linked above, the 295X barely edges out nVidia at 2560×1600 at Ultra Resolution, but just barely. they show AMDs table at the bottom, but we'll see when we get real world reviews and a fair comparison once the Titan Z is out.

    It's unfortunate that even in the PC gamer world, gamers are divided. I just want to play.

    AMD has clearly gotten serious about high end GPU performance.

  20. David Sanders April 11, 2014 at 06:27 - Reply

    +Ron Lanham Yup, I have always used Nvidia. Never a fanboy just always been a preference. Next gpu upgrade I'm going to seriously consider Amd though.

    +David Sanders Same boat.  I have used Nvidea and Intel just always worked well.  But I have to admit bang for buck AMD seem to be great products.  I have flirted with the idea of  AMD for my next build.  But it wont include anything near the R9 listed here.

    +Ron Lanham me neither that things almost twice my whole rig! Custom built of course. Can dream though.

  23. David Sanders April 11, 2014 at 07:49 - Reply

    +Ron Lanham Just putting that beast in my computer would cause all kinds of problems. It uses like 500 watts or something right? And the space there's no way. Actually that's not a dream. What was I saying? That would be a nightmare. If somebody gave me that it would still cost me a lot! Lol

    +David Sanders I hear ya.  My very modest i3 2120 couldn't even play a convincing second fiddle to this bad boy.  But paired with an i7-4770k you could get Minecraft to hold steady at 60 fps I would imagine..LOL LOL LOL

    +Ron Lanham Just wondering how my I7 – 950 overclocked to 4.0ghz stacks up to today's standards. I'm all about mobile lately and barely even turn on my pc.
