XFX R9-295X-8QFA Radeon R9 295X2 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card - Graphic Cards (Radeon R9 295X2, 8 GB, GDDR5, 1024 Bit, 4096 x 2560 pixels, PCI Express 3.0)

Definitely the best gpu available for the money ($350 on ebay) - easily outperforms the competitors (10% better than gtx1080), and comes watercooled stock :)

Pros: Card is a monster and the included 120mm radiator keeps it cool. Drivers were a snap to install and didn't pose any issues. At first the gameplay would hang but it turned out that it was due to bugs in the game that were later fixed with patches. Cons: Requires a hefty power supply (Above 800 W) especially if you are going to overclock. Other Thoughts: I would make sure to avoid items sold by MoreFrom. They have horrible customer service and package handling/delivering skills that cause the item to arrive 4 days later than it should. Would have given the item a 5 star but giving 3 so Amazon takes note that MoreFrom is a horrible vendor.

I am running quite old hardware but have no issues with my Core i7 950 and my Asus P6X58D-E, I was however reaching the limits of my Video cards which were a pair of AMD 6870's in crossfire. I was looking for a video card that would be able to easily drive my Eyefinity setup and when researching found this card had dropped substantially in price making it the leading contender. On its arrival I was quite nervous as the power requirements are quite high and I have a 1000 watt single rail Power supply. I removed the AMD Drivers using AMD's utility. Installed the new card and had no issues installing the new drivers, I was using 3 active mini dp connectors to DVI to power my monitors. Running 3d Mark Firestrike 1920 * 1080 Running the graphics card 5% overclocked and my old cpu at 3.9 ghz I was able to achieve a Firestrike score of 14703 which for the rest of my aging hardware is pretty good. Most of the games I play are running between 45 to 60 FPS in Eyefinity with most settings turned up and my Overclock turned off. Bioshock Infinite 5760 X 1080 Preset Ultra 75 to 91 fps GPU Temps 71-73 Degrees. Dying Light 5760 X 1080 view distance 50% Anti Aliasing and Nvidia Options off 38 to 57 fps and looks good Temps 67 Degrees. Battlefield 4 Single Player 5760 X 1080 Ultra settings 44 to 47 fps in direct X 11... in Mantle 66 to 74 fps anti aliasing off. So the downsides, I changed my cables out to non active mini dp to DVI, although these worked when switching to Eyefinity the system crashed... To avoid this you need to re-define your Eyefinity setup as soon as you change the cabling and change the cables in normal mode. It is a room heater so the room you have you computer in will need good ventilation and AC. Will not fit in a Cooler master CM690 without removing the lower drive cage. Now I want to buy another one to do crossfire. Which will need a New power supply and Case. I love this card, it will outlast my hardware and should be able to handle VR.

Pros: This card is amazingly fast and somehow the 120mm radiator can tame 2 290x's. The noise profile isn't too bad considering what kind of power it has. I haven't found too many driver issues other than having to wait to 14.9.2 for Crossfire support in Shadows of Mordor. Some newer games do not support crossfire right out the gate but then again it is probably wise to wait for driver updates and patches before playing the day 1 betas these days. I have not noticed any stuttering with crossfire and it scales excellent. It also makes an excellent space heater. Cons: There are some cons. The VRM cooling on this card is not adequate. I tried to crossfire this with a MSI Gaming 290x and the 290x heat caused the VRMs to overheat and the core to drop to 300mhz. I would be cautious about cross-firing two of these unless you have 2 pcie slots between cards. Fortunately, the 295x2 is already pretty much overkill on 1440p so I gave the 290x to my nephew. It has been a smoother experience with 2 GPUs. I also think 75 is too low of a throttle point. I did get close to it running into it. I changed the fan for Corsair SP 120 performance fans in push/pull and am getting max temps of 68 and 70 when it really cranks. Most games it max's in the 60s. I think it could have at least used a thicker radiator or 240nm radiator. Other Thoughts: You need a beefy power supply for this. I would say 850 at bare minimum with 1000 reccomended for 1, 1200-1300 for crossfiring with a 290x and 1500-1600 for crossfiring with another 295x2. I think most importantly, you need a single 12 volt rail. You need 28 amps per cable. This is probably one of the few cards where you need separate cables from the power supply. I recommend adding a 2nd fan for push pull to get a few degrees cooler.

Powerhouse card! I have two crossfire'd right now. Couple pointers for any other enthusiasts. One big issue is that you have to plan what type of case your going to put them in to ensure they fit. I have a Corsair Graphite 760T (Full Tower) and I had to remove all the harddrive bays just to make them both fit. *Also*--> 2 cards equals 2 radiators. Your case needs to have 2 vented spots that would normally fit 140mm fans. Those spots need to be close enough to the cards so the tubes reach. Trust me I drove back and forth to Microcenter with spec sheets, measuring tape, just to make sure I got it right the first time. 2nd thing: POWER--> You NEED serious power to run these both. I picked up an EVGA Supernova 1600watt power supply. Holds up perfectly. Now for the Cons: When playing a game like GTA5 (Maxed out with 16gb of video ram! ;) , these cards pump ridiculous heat. I have central AC the whole house is nice and cold,....but not my office. I had to buy an additional AC for my office window so I wouldn't sweat like a pig. Also make sure you download "MSI afterburner" to monitor the temps of each card. Biggest Cons: Lack of developer support for crazy rigs like these. The second you decide to buy 2 of these you pretty much forfeit the chance to play most games right when they are released. You usually end up waiting for a driver update specifically for each major title. And with AMD that can usually take about a month. Im still waiting for the Update profile for "The Witcher 3" Since it seems to be running off one card right now.(Its on High settings and looks and runs perfect, but when you spend this much money on your rig, you want Ultra settings 60fps) Whats the use of all this power if the drivers keep it from being anywhere near its potential. Its frustrating. But dont let that deter you. I run most of my games maxed out on three 27" monitors in eyefinity. So yeah, these cards will still make you happy. All in all. I say get them because once DirectX12 comes out, These cards will go from "great" to "godlike" overnight. AMD cards are going to see an incredible jump in performance, ESPECIALLY crossfired cards. Sorry for the Novel, I just remember when I bought mine I had nobody to answer any of my questions. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

The most powerful Graphics card I have ever owned. If you play games that allow for dual card setups, this is what your looking for. Thankfully though, as has been announced with Windows 10, the new Direct X 12 is going to allow any game to benefit from dual graphics card setups, and that means that your going to have ultra smooth gaming at 4k with no problems at all. Best of all though is just how quiet this card is. Having the liquid cooler is simply amazing, and since your buying an XFX card, you always have a double lifetime guarantee, meaning if either you or someone who you either sell the card to or give it to later when you've upgraded, the card is fully warranted. That's right, if this card breaks, they will replace it free of charge, until your death, or the death of the second owner:) There is no reason to worry about liquid cooling with that guarantee, and your frames per second will be so high you won't believe what your seeing. Even if you disable one of your cards on this beast, you can still run games at 4k, as I have with games like Lords of the Fallen, and without any issue's or ultra low frame rates.
