If you spot anymore list them and I will try and remember to add them.
 
I said it before and i'll say it again; this card is impressive.

My case would be able to support this cooling solution easily.. but that cost for such a card at 1920x1080... I can't really justify the cost on this or the GTX790 if they release it.
 
I might have bought this card for 4K, had the price not been insane, but it was obvious it was going to be.
R9 290 crossfire will be within spitting distance easy.
 
Ha. But can it run Crys...

Superb and loving it, but them performance figures don't give me the jump I want over my 7990's so, I'll stick with these for the next year me thinks :-)

Impressive and cudos to AMD for pushing the envelope.
 
50dba max noise at 500W of cooling and keeping the temps below 75C while allowing 2 full 290x's with increased clocks to run unthrottled.

Beastly, and impressive, shame about the price tag.

2x290x's + waterblocks + watercooling system for whole computer will cost less and leave you with upgrading the gpu's and gpu waterblocks and can plug it back in to pump/rad's.

Dual gpu cards are never that practical and I never quite get the ridiculously large card + tiny tiny case argument.

Still it's a very good dual gpu card and nice to see them not screw it up. Some heavy compute performance on top for a relatively cheap card. 2 295x2 for the same price as a Titan Z. $3000 for the Titan Z is so completely laughable and will get stomped in everything, compute games by two 295x2's.
 
OMG, look at the state of Nvidia's Frame Times, thats bad :eek:



Our first set of results with Battlefield 4 at 2560x1440 indicate that the new R9 295X2 is faster than the GeForce GTX 780 Ti cards in SLI not only in terms of average performance (84 FPS vs 79 FPS) but also in smoothness! The Frame Times graph shows that for the first time in a long time, the Radeon multi-GPU experience is a bit better than that provided by SLI in our testing. You can see that in another form if you look at the Frame Variance graph - after the 90th percentile of frames rendered the R9 295X2 has about half the frame time variance as the GTX 780 Ti cards in SLI.

Boi shock



At 4K the SLI configuration suffers a bit more from a lack of consistent frame rates - surprising based on how dominant NVIDIA had been in this area for the past two years. Even though the average frame rate of the Radeon R9 295X2 and two GTX 780 Ti cards are evenly matched, the R9 295X2 only has the frame time variance of a single GTX 780 Ti or a single R9 290X. That is impressive!

Very nice indeed. Price is way above what I would be willing to spend. But its a great deal considering some people have spend 2k on SLI titans etc lol
Or compare it to the Titan Z and you have a bargain.
 
It looks a terrific card... BUT it is at least a couple of hundred £'s too expensive. At between £800-£900 I would seriously considered 1 (even though it will mean draining and re-designing my custom loop) to replace my 7970's. But as it stands, it simply isn't enough of a performance jump to justify the cost.

Good card, possibly even great card. But not a £1200 card which it will undoubtedly be.
 
There is no point in comparing this and the Titan Z, they are in different leagues due to price not to mention Titan Z is a primarily a compute card that gamers are 'welcome to use'

Still makes more sense to buy 2 290s and watercool youself, no point paying for labour and average cooling.
 
1.1K

Hahahahahahahahaha :D

£800 would have been acceptable.

£750 would have been fair considering less component VS two separate cards..

All these dual cards are grossly overpriced..

Roll on the next gen..
