The editors liked
High frame rates
All the way up to 4K resolution
CrossFire delivers quad-GPU potential
Liquid cooling
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
Incredible cooler keeps GPU temps low. Great 4K performance.
Uber Powerful
High Performance
Relatively Quiet Under Load
All Metal Construction
CrossFire on a Card
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
Great for 4K UHD graphics and high frame rates
Excellent cooling system
Very efficient design for minimized noise and heat
Exquisite performance at Full HD & 4K at lower detail
Easy installation
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.
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.

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 - 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...
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...

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...
These dual GPU reviews typically go the same way for me: I harp on AMD’s solution for being too loud and lacking proper driver support or talk about NVIDIA’s alternative which benefits from a low noise profile and higher performance metrics due to bett...
Abstract: Gamers want power. Whether it's a faster CPU, better timings on RAM or the instantaneous flash memory of a SSD, the quicker the better — and damn the price tag. That win-by-any-means ethos applies squarely to graphics technology, too — and there's a new G...
