390x2? Powerful, and power hungry.

holy mother of jeebus that looks ballin 

 

the reviews on amazon seem good but it is a dual gpu card could have some problems in games i guess but not sure if a dual gpu card = crossfire related problems

I'd only use that in an open-air test bench or liquid cool..gosh the heat! I can only imagine it....looks aggressive though

"Powerful and power hungry" is any high end AMD gpu.

To be fair, so are most high end gpus under full load.

its actually 8 gb's of vram for each gpu, not adding up to 16 total.

So he can order it and then demand money back because wrong description

By my opinion that card looks pretty nice. Kinda like R9 295X2

I thought that too but I'm pretty sure you get the full 16 GBs. Just like the 295x2 had 8 GBs

yah, the 295x2 had two gpu's, each with 8gb. They made versions of the 290x with 8gb and I'm sure they used 8 for each gpu.

Yes, you can use the full 16GB, but the VRAM does not stack up.

 

The data is mirrored across both GPU's own VRAM when in CrossFire or SLI. You essentially have 8GB to work with.

Titan X is hungry AF and gets pretty hot, you are correct.
