My 295x2 (And a compatible PSU) is now on the members market.

Wish i had MM status, im in the market for a second one...

I think my hands are tied I'm afraid.

Though 1000 posts for MM access does seem excessive. You've been here 5 years and are only 63% of the way there.

Drojman · 27 Mar 2015 at 13:33

I joined in 2010 too, I'm not making it any time soon

Indeed i need to get a move on really

Been here for ages as well and kinda close but ye. I think the 1000 post limit is fine, if you REALLY want it that badly head over to general and get involved in some of the "discussions" there

I can loan you some posts, but my interest rates are quite high.

nails666 · 27 Mar 2015 at 17:34

Hehe,I'm aiming for access sometime around 2020 at my current rate

Matt did you have any of your quad fire or even tri fire videos please? (290X/295X2) looking at one of the two options

And one of Tri

Would have been more interesting to see bf4 on a better map, while metro can be hectic its hardly a large open area with a lot of foliage.

Awesome thanks Matt. What are your opinions on the both please, any known issues running either TRI or QUAD please?

My setup will of course be a 295x2, so I either get another 295X2 or get a 290 (Does this have to be an X version or will any 290 do?

) Either way they will be sandwiched together so im concerned about temps. The 295X2 I have currently doesn't exceed 65d egress

Not sure if many has 295x2 crossfire (quadfire) just installed my second 295X2 and MSI afterburner is only showing 3 cards for some reason (No usage been shown for the third card) confused? :S

Drojman · 30 Mar 2015 at 21:48

Check GPU-Z, I think I remember something similar happening on my 295x2/290x config.

Watlinguk · 30 Mar 2015 at 22:56

GPU-Z IS showing up as three (not four) GPUZ but get no performance increase, its running the same as it would in crossfire :S

Why did you sell the 295x2 if you don't mind me asking mate?

Gerard · 31 Mar 2015 at 23:22

If one core is stable at 1100mhz and the other fluctuates is that more likely to be down to core voltage than power limit? Was messing around over the weekend and iirc i had the limit at 50.

This card is awesome! almost twice as fast as my old 7950 xfire and after a couple of hours of crysis 3 temps only reached 65c. I'm using push/pull fans connected to a fan controller, I keep them at 70% power so they are nice and quiet.

I was having a few driver issues, and I've gone and bought Nvidia Titan X SLI.

Glad you're enjoying it.
