You want the AMD one? That makes no since since they are all made by AMD, and just resold by Sapphire..

[Snipermachinema]

Which is the best one? also does it come in the metal brief box like the amd one

[Notree]

You cant find an amd one cause they dont sell them.. The board partners do. :wacko:

[Snipermachinema]

were can i find the actualy amd one though like in linus video it says amd on the fan

It's a fairly rare card, most places don't have it. But like it was mentioned in your other thread, this is the same thing as 2 r9 290x they literally put two of those chips on the same card and run them in crossfire. I think it will be better and cheaper to just buy 2 separate 290x cards instead.

Why would you want a referance card? it would run really hot with a stock cooler

^ This, no point in buying a 295x2. 

[Snipermachinema]

So what do i do

All 295x2 right now are reference.

[Snipermachinema]

Give me a link to the 290 and 295 on newegg.com

[Snipermachinema]

what do u mean referance

[dev893]

All 295x2 right now are reference.

but ASUS makes them with upgraded coolers what I meant why buy one WIth the AMD name on it that will probably have a shitty cooler

[Snipermachinema]

links on newegg.com please

Well please do show me? Cause as far as I'm aware there all reference.

what do u mean reference@@@

[dev893]

what do u mean referance

stock even if you found one sold By AMD it would probably have a crappy cooler in my opinion that saphire one you linked would be pretty good since it comes with a liquid cooler already. but yeah it would probably be cheaper to buy two R9 270X and run them in SLI which is bassically all the R9 290X2 is

[Notree]

what do u mean referance

AMD makes the design and chips and the board partners then build it.

[Misanthrope]

Here, 2 of this should do fairly good for your 4k build

I'm sure one from AMD wouldn't come with a liquid cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202109&cm_re=AMD_R9_295X2-_-14-202-109-_-Product

[Snipermachinema]

Is there a red color one or soemthing like that lol so is it better to get one 295 or 2 290

To go into a bit more depth (cause I'm sure you'e going to ask) a "reference" card means that the company selling the card follows all of AMD's (or Nvidia) specifications. Meaning the PBC is the same, the chip placement is the same, it has the same amount of vram, mostly the same frequencies and most important of all the GPU cooler is the same. What most vendors do is "non-reference" meaning that they usually put better coolers, different PBC design (so the cards are sometimes shorter) and because of the better coolers they ship with factory overclocks. 

Most reputable companies that do non-reference cards charge more money but can perform a lot better so they're preferable (EVGA, Asus, Gigabyte, Saphire sometimes, etc)

Actually Its AMD's design.. I'm starting to think you just don't know what your talking about.

[Snipermachinema]

is it better to get 2 290 or 1 295
