The moment you realise the 295x2 is cheaper than a 980 and completely f*cks that 980 in the arse lol.

Now that's a bargain! Especially when the 290x is over £270-280 in most places. Now can then just lower the 290 to sub £200 prices please? Then I'll definitely get one.

yeah, but you need a hefty PSU, and it will only outperform in games which can utilize crossfire.

the cf/sli supporting argument is so wrong nowadays imho.

and ofc it needs a big ass psu but it also delivers big ass performance

Wish I could get that...

I have a pair of 290xs in crossfire, and I'll tell you now, it's not that power hungry, and just look at the scaling across a range of popular games at high resolutions (which the 295x2 is really made for):

 

 

It's almost always close to 100%, which is not universal, but honestly, most AAA games get 80%+ scaling.

True 2 way SLI or crossfire has the best scaling then it starts to tail of kinda hard topping out at 3 way

Yep, I'm extremely happy with my crossfire setup.

 

In fact, in the future, so long as support continues and improves, I'll probably stick to 2 gpu setups for the great price:performance on offer

I really like what AMD did with the 295X2. I hope a similar card (non-brand) follows in the 300 series. They really hit this one out of the park with the included cooling and specs.

i have one in my basket on overlockers now.. but I'm only hesitating as the 390x is so close!! with is rumoured spec thats reportedly to be 70% faster than a 290x.. a single card solution thats almost as fast as a dual card setup.. that and id need to drop another £200 on a new power supply as my current 650w would shit a brick..

Erm, 540USD converts to 360 GBP, so you'd be spending more.

apparently Google is wrong

XE says it too.

EDIT: and OANDA

Yahoo also

X-rates too and Bloomberg.

This card is crossfire but better.

 

The fact that it doesn't go higher than 65c and it's loudness it's 44dB compared to 290x crossfire can hit 90c+ and hits noises of up to 60dB.
