Where these benches were run @1080p a couple of the games are bottlenecked a bit, to get rid of this problem a higher resolution needs to be used.
 
So far (touch wood)! just finished full rebuild last night ran some games and all good :)

Watchdogs was VERY bad at 1440p and 8x MSAA totally unplayable

Loving the 295X2 just finding the sweet spot to have the Cooler coz i already have a 240 WC rad for the CPU in the roof
 
Just outta Curiosity where have you guys mounted the rad on the 295X2?

Tried the roof the rear exhaust and the bottom (all exhaust) dunno what to do for the best
 
I have got mine mounted to the front of my case pulling air into it. I have a corsair SP120 push fan attached to the front which has dropped the max temperature to 70c, also replaced the stock fan with a corsair AF120 pull fan on the back.
BTW just in case you are not aware it is very likely your 4K monitor will not run at 60hz until AMD fix the drivers. It will however work ok at 30Hz for now.

I thought about doing that AF 140 pushing through and a 120 pulling, but was worried about not enough cold air getting in, my case is a corsair 750D
 
the 750D has 2 140s on the front face pulling in and i was going to attache rad to case and have a pull with attached SP120 which would also leave the AF140 at the bottom clear for air flow,as well
Top of the case has 2 SP120 Exhausting through Rad and i have a AF140 exhausting through Rear

Im gonna connect via Display port, you think this will give 60Hz????
