ASUS Radeon R9 295X2 Graphics Card Pictured, Pricing Revealed
Here's the first picture of an AMD add-in board (AIB) branded Radeon R9 295X2 dual-GPU graphics card, ASUS in this case. The card ships in a huge cubical box, although we're not sure if that paperboard box hides a metal suitcase inside. ASUS did away with the perforated metal grille over the central fan on the card, and plastered a couple of stickers, although the rest of the card sticks to AMD's reference board design. According to leading Turkish tech publication DonanimHaber, AMD is planning to price the Radeon R9 295X2 at US $1,499. According to older reports, the R9 295X2 is a dual-GPU CrossFire-on-a-stick graphics card, featuring two 28 nm "Hawaii" GPUs, with all 2,816 stream processors, 176 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 512-bit wide memory interfaces enabled on each chip, and 4 GB of memory per GPU system, totaling the amount to 8 GB.

Anyway miners go for the cheap route, the difference between this and two separate graphics cards can buy you another platform.

Impressive package nonetheless.
Titan Z is 2 times faster than Titan Black but 3 times higher price but R9 295X2 is 2 times faster than R9 290X and 2 times higher price. so as a gamer, I prefer R9 295X.
