The AMD R9 295X2 combined two R9 290X graphics cards under a single metal shroud. With liquid cooling from the factory and slightly boosted speeds, this once $1500 GPU would have been an enthusiasts dream in 2014. However, in 2020 it should probably be avoided.
Thanks for watching :)

I thought about doing that. I had found 2 R9 390X2 8GB cards for $250 total, so that would be 4x 390 8GB cards for $250 and performance way above 2080ti levels in a common board with 2 16x slots. My personal build though is 4x Fury (which really only works on a Threadripper platform, which is what I have so it works great), but at one point I almost swapped them out for FIJI Pro duos (duel Fury on a PCB), but kind of pointless for gaming since Xfire only supports 4x GPU cores and not 8x (but dang those Pro DUO cards were insanely cheap!). It works great in most of my games, silky smooth 100 fps in Crysis 3 at 4k Ultra (compared to a choppy 45 fps on my Titan Xp), so its around 2x 2080ti SLI performance for just $500, but since it requires a Threadripper platform its nowhere near the value proposition of 2x duel GPU cards on a cheaper motherboard, but I use the threads so its not just gaming. Highest monthly electric bill I've ever had was under $40, so not bad, but I also don't game 24/7 (even still it would be a decade before 2x 2080ti ever paid for themselves).

It served me well for just over 6 years and it went along with the theme of that build which was the absolute best AMD could muster at the time. FX 9590 Black Edition, 295x2, all water cooled and 1200 watts of power on tap. Literal space heater! I had so much fun with it despite it not being optimal in any way. Fun video!

Not really, it does draw the standard 75W from the slot. However, the card does break the PCIe standard and draws around 215W from each 8 pin cable (Which is only supposed to give 150W per cable), which means that you need a really good PSU to run one of them, and to run two, you will need something like a good quality crypto mining PSU that can give full power to 6x8-pin cables, they are pretty power hungry pieces of hardware.

I am wanting to build a capable 1440 (40+ fps) rig for my living room. This card comes to mind now that I've seen some older videos... My one question: What frame rate can the R9 295X2 GPU do with Cyberpunk 2077? I would be interested in a video shows modern titles with this card... Thnx!

RandomGaiminginHD : I'm telling ya mate, AMD FINE RED WINE. The R9 200 series from 2013 was the second true DX 12 and ASYNC capable hardware....and that parallelism in its architecture helps it compensate for the slight lack of GDDR5 speed....to run modern games very well. And yeah that 512-bit memory bandwidth helps a lot indeed as a horsepower throughput :). I do myself own a Gigabyte R9 390 8GB Windoforce 2X....which I love because it plays games at 1080p Ultra easily on a modern fast IPC CPU like Ryzen 5 5600X :). And the R9 290 and R9 390 are completely equal in terms of horse power and architecture. And look where the GTX 780 3GB or the GTX 780 Ti 3GB is today....in the trash bin where it belongs due to it's limitations and very very poor aging performance.

A bit late though but ran into a similar Problem a few days ago. I tried to Pair an old 260x with an 9400F and it didn't wanted to boot at all. And on Nvidia sides Skyrim runs just fine for my dual 970 actually. Idk if it's an Xfire problem here or the 2 GPU 1 pcb thingy

The EVGA SuperNova 1300 is what I use for 4x Fury (275w TDP each) plus a Threadripper 1950x (which uses about 465w at 4.2 Ghz all core cinebench), and that PSU was like ~$135 and worked well stress testing it. Don't get the 2000w PSUs, most of those are fake chinese spec (I don't want to talk about how many PSUs I've fried at 50-80% rated load... they weren't even cheap), plus most of those are just 2x "1000w" Chinesium rated PSUs bolted together (which you can easily do yourself and use actual quality power supplies with a $2 "Add2PSU" device or just 2 wires) I actually use 2x of these SuperNova 1300 PSUs since its a Halloween build (duel 13's), and I don't want to rewire just to be safe if I'm wanting to use dry ice or LN2 on the CPU, but even one does fine (its somewhere over 1400w on the 12v rail output, around 1,700w at the wall, but these high end PSUs have specs below what they can actually do like my HX1200i does fine at 1350w output and still hits 90% efficiency with 1500w at the wall). So get one of these when they are on sale, they can handle a lot (if you need silence in your build and not just benching get the HX1200i as it doesn't even spin the fan below 700w)

@@jakegarrett8109 I dare to disagree, Superflower manufactures legit 1300+ w PSUs, the brand is quite reputable among hardcore enthusiasts, but they aren't cheap. Jonny Guru, the guys who mainly specialize in testing and reviewing PSUs use this same GPU to stress test PSUs, because AMD should have gone with 3x 8-pin connectors, like hey did with Radeon Pro Duo (Fiji), because R9 295x2 draws more electricity than it is designed by the standard

@@nikityukvlad I didn't mention anything about the OEM/parent company SuperFlower (other companies buy those and slap their labels on them), I'm referring to don't buy generic crap regardless of ratings (since they are fake specs). But on that subject of name brand ones avoid Rosewill (Newegg's brand, but goodness I get tired of seeing those fry and they won't replace destroyed parts like my $250 SSD that fried because one of those died and took my SSD out with it). They aren't even cheaper than Corsair or EVGA, so they should be good but they just aren't

Mine just stopped cooling properly recently. I got it for only $500 in 2015, so it was a steal. Decided to get a 5700xt to replace it, as I don't really think she does well these days with the lack of Crossfire. I'm glad it was my first and I'll keep it with me forever.

@@Dakhanavar99 It should do fine for that. I will note that if you upgrade your monitor your Fury will hold onto fps well, it does much better fps scaling at higher resolutions like 1440p and 4k, (like an RX 480 will beat it at 1080p, but at 4k the Fury takes a decent lead). You'll find that Fiji is weird (like even at fixed frequencies changing voltage will change performance even when its stable), there's a lot of weird quirks to it if you get into serious overclocking with them, but otherwise leave it alone besides maybe dropping the Vcore some (it varies per card, but if you leave it stock you might start with shaving 50mV off and keep lowering until unstable and that will save some on power)
