The editors liked
Obscenely fast
Very smooth performance
Perfect candidate for 4K gaming
Runs relatively cool and reasonably quiet
More than two R9 290Xs
Incredible cooling performance
Better value than GTX Titan Z
Offers a huge amount of performance – 4K 60Hz ready
Convenient all in one CrossFireX solution
Represents a huge improvement over past AMD Dual GPU solutions
Fastest graphics card that money can buy
Looks set to be at least half the price of the Titan Z from Nvidia
Ultra HD 4K leader
We love the flight case
No maintenance watercooling system
The editors didn't like
May require a new PSU
Price
But that is the nature of the beast
Coil whine
High power consumption
Power delivery outside ATX spec
A risky game to play – lowers efficiency and strains PSUs
Loud fans even though temperatures are low
Eye-wateringly expensive
Needs some fine tuning
Can get quite loud under load when the water heats up
Smallish cooling system has to work hard
240mm radiator and dual fans would have performed better
Excellent scaling and performance at Eyefinity and 4K, Low temperatures thanks to watercooling, Dual-slot cooler, CrossFire scaling works in almost all games, Dual BIOS, Backplate included, Nice packaging, comes in a suitcase
High price, Noisy in idle, could be quieter under load, Very high power consumption, Coil noise, Needs driver support for proper CrossFire scaling, High VRM temperatures, Watercooling radiator takes up extra space, No fan control
According to AMD, the MSRP for the Radeon R9 295X2 is $1500. Excellent scaling and performance at Eyefinity and 4K Low temperatures thanks to watercooling Dual-slot cooler CrossFire scaling works in almost all games Dual BIOS Backplate included Nice packa...

The R9 295X2 is today's fastest graphics card with doubledigit gains on the HD 7990, GTX 690 and even a pair of GTX 780s in SLI.
It's also among the priciest with an MSRP of $1,500, though we can see its bundled liquid cooler being attractive to plenty of enthusiasts.
Considering the Radeon R9 290X's record for being pretty hot at its 300w TDP, I had my doubts about AMD placing two Hawaii XT GPUs on a single 500w TDP card. However, with a closed-loop water-cooling system AMD has solved the thermal and acoustic problems...
Fastest consumer graphics card we've tested to date, Half the expected price of Nvidia's 2014 dual-GPU Titan Z card, Reasonably quiet, considering performance
External radiator required for cooling, May mandate a new power supply, Frame stuttering noticeable in at least one benchmark test
In a world of $3,000 high-end graphics cards, AMD’s $1,499 dual-chip R9 295X2 is a relative steal, packing all the oomph required for no-holds-barred gaming at 4K. Just know you may need to factor a new power supply (and possibly even a new PC case!)...
The AMD Radeon R9 295X2 is a video card that many thought might not be possible. When the AMD Radeon R9 290X was released it was discovered how inadequate the air cooling was on the video card. It wasn't until add-in-board partner custom video card with c...
Final Thoughts ]I have to admit when news first broke of AMD’s upcoming dual-GPU Radeon based on a pair of ‘Hawaii XT’ GPUs I poked fun at it. The main concern I had was that the Radeon R9 290X has a TDP rating of almost 300 watts and this single GPU...
The AMD Radeon R9 295X2 8GB raises the bar when it comes to what one can expect from a single dual-slot graphics card. AMD has managed to create a dual-GPU behemoth that has become the fastest graphics card in the world. If you want to go fast and have th...
AMD brought a really nice product to the table. We quite frankly did not expect to see a this Dual-GPU monster to have full Hawaii XT GPUs, and that's over 12 Billion transistors, 5632 Shader processors and a good 11.5 TFLOPS of compute performance smack...
Uber Powerful, High Performance, Relatively Quiet Under Load, All Metal Construction, CrossFire on a Card
Relatively Quiet, But Not Silent By Any Means, Pricey, Not Available Yet
The AMD Radeon R9 295X2 - Find It @ AmazonThe Radeon R9 295X2 is easily AMD's most ambitious dual-GPU powered graphics card to date. Everything about the Radeon R9 295X2 is extreme, from its performance to its aesthetics, and its price. AMD is setting the...

Let's sum up our performance results—and factor in price—using our world-famous scatter plots. These overall performance results are a geometric mean of the outcomes on the preceding pages. We left Thief out of the first couple of plots since we tested i...
