Join us, as we review the Radeon R9-295 x2 with 8 GB graphics memory. The Radeon R9-295 x2 is a dual-GPU based graphics card that comes with two Hawaii XT GPUs, these two GPU's are fully enabled on all shader processors and run up-to a cool 1018 MHz each. So that's over 12 Billion transistors, 5632 Shader processors and a good 11.5 TFLOPS of compute performance slapped onto a single PCB. Yes, AMD has just released the fastest graphics card in the world!

Impressive card. :cool:

I wouldn't wait for the Titan Z then, as even the 790 will be faster and cheaper than it, like the 780Ti was over the Titan.

Im somewhat disappointed about the OC tbh (especially at those temperatures).
Is the voltage the wall that is hit ? Does it have a controllable voltage controller even (afterburner)?

Nice the card is on top everywhere until that 337.50 driver update when suddenly 780Ti SLI is on top again.
Too bad it can't be compared to some Mantle enabled games yet.

Its mixed... Bioshock, Hitman, thief yes ( not at max resolution anyway ).
( but anyway, this was allready the case for Bioshock and Thief with previous drivers )

On other games, the 295x2 is in front of it.

Phat review! Kudos to AMD for completing this achievement.
Still, these solutions are so insanely expensive.
