I was literally on the edge of my chair while the order was processing, but then I realized it just couldn't possibly have been legit because the "hot deals" section on the forum wasn't spammed with it yet. So I went back to re-check and obviously it wasn't actually a 295x2, but rather an extremely overpriced 290  :mellow:. It really had me fooled for the longest time too, since let's face it, we've all been tricked once or twice before by amazon's rather misleading descriptions saying "it's a single graphics card (X 2)". And the first photo was a Gigabyte-branded 295x2, so it was pretty convincing.

That product title is a dead giveaway...

 

R9 290?

 

GV-R929WF3-4GD << Gigabyte Windforce?

but I've also seen many things with completely wrong titles. Like the 3rd party seller products that says "NVIDIA GTX TITAN X BLACK EDITION" when it's like the first generation titan
