Sapphire releases Factory Overclocked 295x2 OC model

Sapphire releases Factory Overclocked 295x2 OC model

Sapphire has released a Factory Overclocked R9-295x2 called the R9-295X2 OC. Now before you expect a massive tweak I'd say don't get excited just yet as the reality of things is almost funny. The overclock is rather shameful and very laughable as the reference clock from 1018 MHz got tweaked towards (drum-roll) 1030 MHz. That's right a whopping 12 MHz overclock !

The good news is that the memory has been overclocked from 5.00 towards 5.20 GHz, but since the card is not at all bandwidth bound, that doesn't really help either. So what is this product really all about? Another Sapphire marketing plot ? Yeah we tend to believe so. Well, they did make the headlines again, so props to them for that.

So basically you get a 12 MHz GPU overclock on a 1500 USD product for which the OC model will probably cost a 100 USD more ... I mean come on. No bueno Sapphire, no bueno ...

Not much different than the pathetic overclocks on every factory OC card. The only thing that matters very much is the cooling solution that the card has.


strange cause most of the green OC cards i see are around 10 times the number pushed out by the water cooled twin 290x.

My 680s ran 1241 1198 without any oc stock boost was 1150 from reference clocks. 1058 the 680s boosted to 1280 with 0 offset with the unlocked bios. Reference 780 ti boost is 928mhz iirc. 1046 is my sc speed. And oc up to 1189 with added added voltage. Not too shabby if you ask me.

And yet it doesn't even matter in the least because they're all still pathetic overclocks that you can get higher than in two clicks of the mouse once you install it.

Factory overclocks are just for marketing purposes, they make the difference of like 1fps.
