I had mine set at 40% constant speed.

Ouch

I set mine at 20%. 30% was too loud.
Think I'll pass on the 295X2 then lol

Quick question, My 1200W Flower PSU has zero true 8 pin connectors. But it does have two 6 pin + 2. Will these do considering how powerful the PSU is?

Yeah they'll be fine

Thank you.

No problem

Does this look right? Min FPS seems really low. (Specs in Sig)

thefogo · 10 Sep 2014 at 07:19

You will need to run it fullscreen for crossfire to work.

Loxa · 10 Sep 2014 at 07:26

Yeah max FPS was a lot better but Min FPS was 9.3 (with AA x 00), max temp of 74c aswell.

If you use the settings in this thread then we can compare.

When are you starting the benchmark ?

Loxa · 10 Sep 2014 at 07:30

Ohh ok cool, I will give that a go and let you know when I am back from work.

VincentHanna · 10 Sep 2014 at 07:45

For comparison

Note that the first time I ran mine it had a stutter and min FPS went to 9.1, so I closed steam and Origin (incase they were updating on same hard drive), ran again and got that.

Don't forget to post your 295X2 scores in the Heaven 4 thread and I will put them on the scoreboard.

I've been looking at the specs for my corsair hx1000w psu, and it looks like I should get 40a per rail, so I would expect the card to work on this. Strange that the card powers up and there are no mb error codes. The system appears to be functioning fine even though the card isn't generating any video output. :confused:

We got about 15 left guys! :eek:

Just a thought, could you try another DVI cable?

Does the one you are using have the full amount of pins (dual-link cable)? It should work if it worked in your 290x, but you never know.

Or could you use the DVI - HDMI connector in the box to connect it to a HDMI device?

sohei · 10 Sep 2014 at 09:43

Yeah, I've tried several dvi cables, with the full amount of pins, on 2 different monitors. Every component I've tested with is known to work. I think I'll next try the HDMI - display port adapter to eliminate the DVI port altogether. Not a good start to my R9 295x2 experience

VincentHanna · 10 Sep 2014 at 09:44

Did you have one anyway then?

The box only comes with a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter and a DVI to HDMI adapter.

What was your max temp? Yeah i had slight stuttering which dropped my fps to 9.3

sohei · 10 Sep 2014 at 09:51

Ahhh, THAT's what that adapter is!
