Remember our April’s Fools joke about R290Xtreme? Holy Batman, we were partially right about it. Okay okay, the new GPU from AMD will not require a 2000W PSU but as the red team unveiled, R9 295 X2 is real and will be a dual-GPU card (that will – most probably – challenge Nvidia’s Titan Z). Or at least that’s what we hope. AMD will be revealing this new GPU really soon and has released a teaser trailer for it that can be viewed below. Enjoy!

Plot Twist: Requires 2000W CPU.
😛
2000W CPU? You meant PSU right? 😉
Geez I didn’t even realize xD
Well this card is not men’t to challenge the Titan Z. It’s just the new dual gpu for gamer’s from AMD. I just think it’s funny they are coming out 1st with theirs and Nvidia is holding off on it’s 790 card for gamer’s. Prolly to one up AMD this year since the 7990 performed better in games then the 690 did that did not deal with PhysX. Price range is said to be around $1499 for the 295X
“For gamers”, I´ll probably say “For Enthusiasts” and add “with a ton load of money in their pockets”.
A Gamer will get a very good CPU with a GTX780 or a R290.
These cards are meant for people who play with triple monitor setups or already own 4K monitors, for “benchmarkers” and “miners”.
For me to play at 1080p it will be overkill and way too expensive. Just to think that from here to a year or two a new one will come and be more powerful, doesn´t justify its price.
But that is just me…a regular gamer…not an enthusiast, benchmarker or miner.
yeah I play at 1080p as well and I men’t for gamer’s since it’s price next to a Titan Z that is a workstation/game card that is going for $2999. Besides as of right now no Single gpu can run games like crysis 3, metro last light at the highest settings at 1080p and get a average fps of 60 if you are one of those pc gamer’s who care about that sorta stuff. Besides mining is coming to a end so this will help highend cards like this stay low. All dual gpu’s like this are just future proof cards for 2 to 3 years playing games at their highest settings anyways.
these cards are ridiculous
NVIDIA and AMD are throwing their cocks out and fighting with them together. Mine is bigger that yours.
