Title: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: Amph on April 08, 2014, 06:01:49 PM maybe you can gain some lower wattage compared to two 290x
http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/r9/295X2 it should reach 1800kh/s Title: Re: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: sonysasankan on April 08, 2014, 06:09:01 PM Dayyam.... my knees just went weak. What a beauty :o

Title: Re: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: Maharaja on April 08, 2014, 06:15:45 PM Very nice! What's the price tag? And what could you possibly mine with it? I have an R9 290 barely keeping up with difficulties.
Title: Re: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: SpeedDemon13 on April 08, 2014, 06:18:33 PM I would mod two of them and put an aftermarket radiator and pump in a two gpu setup. Depending the cost of these things....lol
Title: Re: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: Amph on April 08, 2014, 06:19:16 PM it's very pricey right now around $1499, but this is two 290x together, this mean minimum 1800kh/s and perhaps 2M!!!, with less consumption/heat and noise
Title: Re: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: mejim on April 08, 2014, 06:28:56 PM OMG I'm getting one or maybe two... if affordable maybe 4? does it run quad?
Title: Re: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: gadado on April 08, 2014, 06:40:20 PM That cooling looks interesting... Finally they addressed their termal problems the right way. That gives me hope for the future. Good that Nvidia get's preasure now. I am waiting on their new generation cards ... need them for rendering which is unfortunatly not possible with those AMD cards. Title: Re: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: Equate on April 08, 2014, 07:37:51 PM I will be getting 2 of those , great looking cards. I will wait for their temp reviews.

I have an R9 290 barely keeping up with difficulties. 500w TDP, $1500 , no thanks xD Probably 2 mh/s, but it's not cost-effective IMO.

Unfortunately by the time these are readily available some of the Scrypt ASICS may be out and if you are looking at $1500 for a GPU running roughly 2Mh/s or right around that price range for lets say an Alpha-T Viper 16Mh/s unit that will be pulling an estimated half the power of the estimated power of the new AMD 295x5 haha then to me the dollas' don't make no sense DrCharles Title: Re: AMD 295x2 new beast is unleashed Post by: Amph on April 08, 2014, 07:59:20 PM Very nice!

Either way I would like to get my hands on one to play around with at the very minimum |
