R9 295X2 outperforms Titan X, offers much better price/performance ratio

[EcoBoost]

Found this on Sapphire's Facebook page this morning: https://www.facebook.com/SapphireTechnology/photos/a.137560919429.107699.135403179429/10153235093224430/?type=1&theater

 

Also interesting to see that the HD 7990 (280X CrossFire) still outperforms a single GTX 980, while still being cheaper. AMD seems to really be getting the price-to-performance hammered down, especially for people who aren't concerned about the extra power consumption or heat output.

In before all AMD haters.

[ELSknutson]

its also 2 cards and produces way more power and heats up allot more 

 

and this is a re post

Yeah but it's dual GPU =/ and lacks higher amounts of ram per chip, not to mention the power draw.

Yeah it's a nice card but it has it's cons compared to the titan x that would make the titan x more appealing.

I posted this yesterday, but mods removed it

AMD fur lyf!!!

The power consumption though...

I still luv AMD

News jus in - SLI GTX 970s also outperform Titan X.

Lol Nvidia is better than Nvidia. Nvidia sucks. Goooo Nvidia!

Single GPU card vs dual GPU card and repost kk.

Different source, single card, trying to get away from enderman's bs

2 280x are not cheaper, and they only have 3gb of vram

 

AND AGAIN, ITS STILL 2 GPU'S VS 1, AND THE 1 BARELY IS BEATEN

Agree, honestly I am disappointed by the 980 and Titan X

 

My 780ti which came out in like January 2014 is not far off a 980 and the Titan X has NOWHERE near the performance for its insane cost - really, not much has changed, I expect more than a 5-10% performance boost if they expect me to put down more of my money

 

AMD are really doing well with price to performance, BUT we cannot forget these are older cards and the prices have dropped considerably since launch -

 

lets see how the 300 series compares, if its another 5-10% performance boost I will be very sad

Seriously? Stop with the reposts already.

Or just wait for a 390x.

I have dual 290s so I have a better performing setup than a titan x?

yes.

[Badger906]

in England you can crossfire 295x2 for roughly the same price as a titan x!! quadfire!! well you'd have to also factor in the price of a 1500w powers supply!!
