That means two times 6 Billion transistors, two 512-bit Memory bus with 2x4 GB - 5.0 Gbps GDDR5 memory, and combined that totals up towards a cool 11.5 TFLOPS of compute performance - coughs - yes indeed I said it - 11.5 TFLOP of compute performance. The graphics card is the single most fastest graphics card we have ever have had in our lab, it crazy fast as it is powered by not one, but two Hawaii XT graphics processors, say Aloha to that my man!Įach Hawaii GPU has 2816 Shader processors on-board, and yeah this doubly whammy and very tasty product offers everything in twofold. For a while now AMD has been teasing this BEAST of a product, well look no further, here are we got your back covered as we'll show and teach you everything you need to know about the Radeon R9-295x2.

AMD also claims that the best scaling will be at 4K resolutions, and freely admits that this card is overkill for 1080p and even 1440p.Heck yeah, developped as Project Hydra, we review the Radeon R9-295x2. AMD claims that this, along with improved cooling (which allows the GPUs to run at maximum frequency more often) and hard work from its driver team, means it will actually be faster than two stock speed R9 290X cards running in CrossFire. The maximum GPU clock speed is 1,018MHz compared to 1,000MHz before, while the memory runs at the same 5GHz effective. Unusually for a dual GPU card, clock speeds aren't any less than the single card variants – in fact, they've actually been given a marginal bump. As you'd expect, both TrueAudio and Mantle are fully supported.

These specs also makes this card the fastest single consumer graphics card in the world, though Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan Z is set to challenge that. Either way, it's obvious that there is a serious amount of firepower here.

Of course, this means it will be marketed as having 5,632 cores and 8GB VRAM, but the correct way to think of it is 2 x 2,816 cores and 2 x 4GB VRAM, as the two GPUs are still functionally separate. Effectively, the R9 295X2 comprises two fully functional Hawaii GPUs with 44 Compute Units a piece and each with a full offering of 4GB GDDR5 (for the full lowdown on Hawaii see here).
