Topic: Miners Dream GPU - AMD Radeon R9 295X2 The Review (Read 11936 times)
from litecoin mining forum, someone tested it and apparently it does nearly 2M, it is nice to have one vga with that power, but still too expensive for just 2M
Gosh you are so annoying. Begging for donations while being one of the earliest miners (for GPu upgrade from high-end to super high-end).
You make me sick. At least ~BCX~ has style.

also you don't need riser with this, almost forgot about it
It looks... Beutiful xD
I may have to grab myself a couple and build a rig with them. What are we thinking per scrypt hashrate? Maybe 1500-1600 each? They sound pretty decent with cooling and such.

more like 1800-2MH/s, it's cool to have just two cards and a 4MH/s rig, less heat at least, but still pretty expensive
With Scrypt ASIC flooding the market in not-so-distant future, I doubt it's worth investing that much money on these specs. And think about the power they'll eat.
They can be used on ANY coin not just scrypt.. think of future algo's not even made yet
@MissX3M
i'm sure it can be managed i wouldn't worry about that..some of us are good at cooling mods.. i have a decade of experience on that myself.
buying off the shelf cooling and whining about it is what noobs do.. also did that video show risers ? i didn't look at it ..i hate youtube lol
@Monetize let us a'll know when your cards arrive at your door lol
wasn't all that long ago i spent soooo much money i had shipments coming from Newegg & NCIX etc literally non stop
the delivery girl thought i was some weirdo i think sitting in my house buying stuff (and she was right i am a BIG weirdo) muahhahha LOL
i have a massive pile of Newegg box now lol
so i'm pretty much out of money and might be living in them soon in the alley if BTC prices don't start going back up

Not for mining 
Great looking cards , price is bit high , but I am gonna buy 2 of those for my new gaming rig with 4k setup. It's a bit overkill but
but who cares.

We first caught wind of an upcoming dual-GPU Hawaii graphics card this time last month when AMD teased us with its top-secret "Two is Better Than One" campaign. Although AMD didn't actually reveal anything, it was clearly planning a successor to the Radeon HD 7990, which is essentially two Tahiti dies on a single board, or in other words a pair of slightly underclocked Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition GPUs.
Back when we tested the 7990 in April 2013, it was a formidable rival for the GeForce GTX Titan. The biggest problem the card faced was AMD's frame latency performance, which was quite poor at the time, especially compared to a single-GPU solution like the Titan. The 7990 also suffered from enormous power consumption figures compared to the Titan, as we found it pulled almost 40% more power.

Measuring a motherboard-bending 12in (30cm) long, the R9 295X2 is roughly 3cm longer than the R9 290X and it's a very heavy graphics card featuring a full metal construction including the backplate and fan shroud.
Well i wish had $1499 to buy one to plug into my PCI express 3.0 MSI Max Power mother board although i already have a Corsair H100i CPU water cooler.
So you can now all officially line up and donate
