Before you go and say, "Oh, ew, PowerColor, I don't trust them or know them that well," you need to feast your eyes on this dank ass GPU.

This GPU is everything the R9 295X2 DESERVES to be. This is a humongous mofo that doubles as a lethal weapon, in sheer strength and by the fact that I'm sure one hit in the back of the head will leave you with a real bad concussion.

 

Powered by 4x 8-pin connectors (YES, THAT'S 4x INSTEAD OF 2x, A 1000W TDP!), this monster is also AIR COOLED, NOT EVEN AMD COULD ACCOMPLISH THAT! If that's not enough, it comes with a Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse! Don't know why, it just does.

Are you ready to smash your old GPU into bits? Here's the link, order six of them.

Probably stock, however this has a better power delivery. The original R9 295X2 only has 2x 8-pin connectors, this has 4x, so it should be more stable in power delivery.

exactly. The same power delivery on my 7970 as a 295x seemed fishy. 4 8 pins as extreme as it sounds, sounds realistic for what it is. I guess this looks more bad ass though

 

edit: so looked at reviews, someone complained it ran hot at 66*C under load. If only he knew.

 

my 7950/7970 crossfire overclocked pins at 80-85. i normally underclock actually to keep low 60s, but some games you need it stock or overclocked so.

 

I guess this card has room for overclocking then. Then Im guessing some crazy overclock for games that dont support crossfire
