OHHH MAHHH GAWWWSHH! This card looks epic!  CANT WAIT!! :o  Hopefully its not gonna be freaking $3,000... 

 

Ideally it will be priced just above the 780ti.  That would be epic!  780ti killer!

A R9 290X is a 6 and a 8 pin, but 2 of them is only two 8 pins @ 500W? 

 

Am I missing something here.

Why would they put a metal shroud in front of the fan...Hopefully it won't cause high pitched whines..

It's as big as the 6990, and I wish they would take the white off of that

It is dual GPU. Most common rumored price is $1500. Even if it isn't around $1500... It won't be at the 780ti price just for the fact that it's dual gpu.

In terms of raw gaming performance of course it will destroy the 780ti and even the Titan Z. Not even a contest, What will be interesting is how AMD prices it. I think they should go for $1200.

Yes, and no. At stock clocks, the GPUs will only draw about 250W max, while 8 and 6 pin cables are capable of providing well over 300W in bursts which is what gives them room to overclock. The R9 295x2 is reported to draw a max of 500W at stock clocks, so the two 8 pin cables are going to be pushed very close to their limits by this card before overclocking. We may even see some models released with an additional 6 pin for more overclocking overhead.

Of course it will beat them (in gaming), it's a dual GPU solution.

yes it is thanks, my mistake. Think I confused it with the titan black.

Anyway I think the difference is AMD is targeting this at gamers.
