Radeon R9 295X2 Photo's and Specs leak in Asia
Well, you can always leave it to Chiphell (Asian website) to be the first to somehow get their hands on a disclosed product. This time it is the eagerly awaited dual-GPU monster from AMD, the Radeon R9 295X2 or 295 X2 whatever it will be named. The product seems to be a 2-slot graphics card with two fully fetched Hawaii XT GPUs with all shader active, the clock speeds are not mentioned though. The cooling is hybrid, meaning a liquid cooler for the GPU and a fan for the other components on the PCB.
The board has two Hawaii XT this R9 290X GPUs slapped on one PCB, these are internally connected with a PLX PEX8747 PCIe bridge. Do the math en realize that's a nice whopping 5632 Stream Processors, 352 TMUs and 128 ROPs at your disposal. If the mentioned specs are correct then each has a full 4 GB of memory (8 GB on the card).

Be interesting to see how that single 120 Rad cools both those chips! Must be using 3000RPM fans lol I imagine the core clocks won't be too high. Can't see it Overclocking to great with only that 120 rad.

Ah, every new dual GPU solution is more expensive than the last one. 1500$ is too much AMD.

VRM, PCB & VRAM modules are cooled traditionally, fine. I just don't understand how a 120mm rad is enough to cool Two 290X GPU cores ?
Anyone who has ever WC anything would tell you the same thing, It Is Not Enough!
Obviously you've fallen for the misinformation that the 290X is a KW TDP MONSTER! Asus did it with two 7970's and their TDP isn't much lower than the 290X, in fact in Asus Ares II I suspect it was clocked higher as it came with 3x8 pin connectors.
*Edit* I have watercooling btw.
