MSI Radeon R9 290X Gaming Edition 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card 3-WAY

Thanks guys definitely an idea. I have a 295x2 but yes I want 8gb. I also want about 50% more power than the 295x2 to bring some demanding games to 60fps.

I hope Matt posts his findings

edit: looks like i would be doing 290x soundcard 290x 290x no slots free.

Buy a second 295X2 if you don't want to wait for the 390/390X.

DX12 / Vulkan / Mantle can all unify memory for multi-GPU cards btw, so 2x4GB on the 295X2 is not an issue if you choose to go 2x4K in future, for example.

Problem is, just because they 'can' unify the memory pool it doesn't mean that they 'will'!

AMD (or any dev) never did it with Mantle for instance...

I think he wants to reduce his heat and noise not increase it

Then a Titan X is also out of the question

Basically, you need to watercool for 3 of them.

Darn lol well titan x or nothing for a few months

If you're spending that kind of money you would be better off with a single Titan X and maybe add one later if it's not enough for you (It will be enough)
