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.

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!

Very lovely card only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it doesn't have displayport on it. My monitor is 4k and I can't even reach that with this card because HDMI and DVI to HDMI are only giving me 1080p. I feel like I upgraded to be screwed with a downgrade. Update (Sept 03, 2015): went through numerous mini-display cables, including the one by Accell that said it didn't have an issue telling monitor to sleep. Nothing seems to work. I've reinstalled windows several times. Bought different adapters,etc. Only time monitor starts directly is if I use dvi- hdmi or to displayport 1.2 but like I said before, only has max resolution of 1080p. I'm assuming it's an error of the gpu drivers related to mini display because only mini display gives me sleep issues with my monitor. With a gpu this epic, you'd think AMD would have been on top of this issue. They really dropped the ball

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.

Now that the 295x2 can be found for $650, it definitely is a good buy if you're going for 1440p/4k One screen gaming. I would advise you to check the AMD forums if they finally found a fix for eyefinity set ups and any other problems. When I bought this card, there were too many driver problems going on. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I switched to this card from a 780 ti. At first I was skeptical because I heard about AMD drivers and their crossfiring, all bad stuff. Well supposedly that was a thing from that past in the 79xx series. My choices were either to buy a replacement 780 ti sli, or get this card. I opted to get this card because I have an H440 with not too good airflow. Here are my experiences in Pros and Cons. Coming from an nvidia card, this was a big mistake. I know nvidia isn't perfect, but not as bad as AMDs. For a thousand dollar card, it's very disappointing. Pros: - Quieter than other separate GPU SLIs (780ti) under load. - Cooler than other separate GPU SLIs (780ti) under load. - Runs relatively cool on games it can handle (duh) with a 75 C degree max temp. - The closed loop cooler keeps it at a constant and cool temperatures. - Runs almost perfectly on optimized crossfired single screen games. Cons: - Horrible Driver - Eyefinity would not set up properly, causes games like battlefield 4 to crash. - IF eyefinity does work, no bezel correction because you AMD control panel crashes when you try to bezel correct. - You NEED good airflow in a case or your card WILL heat up compared to other cards. (though not as bad as the 290x reference cooler) - The card THROTTLES(slows down) when the card heats up to 75 C degrees! - You CANNOT control the fans! It's currently the loudest thing inside my PC. - They advertise a 8 GB TOTAL memory, but 4 GB memory are only USABLE. - XFX DOES NOT have lifetime warranty on this! They wouldn't even respond to my emails.
