The editors didn't like
Requires a very large power supply
Very expensive
External radiator required for cooling
May mandate a new power supply
Frame stuttering noticeable in at least one benchmark test
Expensive. Requires beefy Power Supply Unit (PSU) capable of providing 500 watts of power
Relatively Quiet
But Not Silent By Any Means
Pricey
Not Available Yet
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
Still a noisy 4K GPU in comparison to Nvidia's line
Runs a little hot considering its cooling system
Expensive relative to performance
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.

Abstract: A couple of weeks ago we reviewed the new ASUS ROG Poseidon GTX 980 Platinum video card in a detailed evaluation. This hybrid air/water cooled video card has a price of $639.99 .What makes this video card unique is that it can be cooled out-of-the-box on ...
It's no surprise that Far Cry 4 will tax your PC hardware, particularly considering its predecessor. However, if you're not gaming on a high-resolution monitor, you can muster an enjoyable experience from Nvidia's sub-$100 GeForce GT 730 GDDR5 at 720p. Ev...
Boy oh boy oh boy. What a ride this card has been. AMD really went through a lot of effort to bring this unique card to market, being their first dual GPU solution that is not cut down in some way. Here the two R9 290x cores have full Stream Processors,...
Now let's do some math. First of all, the new AMD Radeon R9 295X2 has twice more GPUs than the Radeon R9 290X and clocks them at a 1.8% higher frequency. Second, the marketing department may claim the new card has twice the graphics memory, but that's not...
