Reviews - AMD Radeon R9 295X2

why would you buy this oven crap if you cann get 2 x 780 Ti which would wipe the floor with it for less!!


"want the world's fastest graphics card? You're looking at it. AMD expects partners to have cards on shelves from April 21."

Stop kissing AMD a$$ because they paid you some cash to say so, this is not the fastest card, Titan Z is the fastest dual GPU card and we still waiting for GTX 790 which would wipe the floor with this one.

Did you seriously need to post this, other than in some poor effort at trolling? Titan Z is not the fastest dual GPU card, because it hasn't been released yet. It may well take the crown once released. It is also twice the price of this, so damn well should be fastest.

2 x 780Ti would not wipe the floor with it. They'd certainly compete, but then that's another product category - two cards rather than one. Those buying these sort of products will know the choices available to them, and the fact they'd cost less would only be one consideration. Someone could buy an AM DB9, but then they could buy a Nissan GT-R which is faster for less money. Many still opt for the Aston.

Hexus biased to AMD? That hilarious. I've seen these stupid comments back and forth between AMD/ATI and Nvidia for years. The press can't win.

I have finally gotten round to reading this review and I have to say the card sounds absoloutely amazing, great performance results with superb smoothness, I was really expecting it to stutter as badly as my 6990 used to when I was using that as my primary card. Great stuff indeed, well done AMD, it's a shame it comes at such a high price tag though, £1100 plus a new PSU just makes it too expensive especially as I don't have a suitable monitor to really make the most out of it, so that would bring the total cost to close to £2000, it's really too expensive.

Great review Hexus, love the detail around smoothness and not just speed.

Congrats to AMD on building a dual-GPU card that has none of the usual problems of a dual-GPU card (micro-stuttering, heat, noise) - genuinely impressive and innovative piece of engineering. Never in a million years going to buy one though!!

Completely agree with you. Nice job. Competition is good for us in the end.

Simply wow! Anyone want to lend me a few grand?

amazing card even for that price and it comes with the best of AMD things, even the packaging

Hopefully this, the Titans and 4k monitor pricing being so crazy will pave the way faster for cheaper prices. At the moment 4k gaming seems to be more hideously priced than any other advancement in gaming I can ever remember - by some margin!

This card looks like an absolute beast, but I personally don't know if many consumers can justify the cost of 4K gaming yet? (especially from a price to performance stand point)
