DanTheGamer11 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Good review, seems like a good card and keeps up there with the 295X2, air cooling keeping up Granted they are charging something like $300 premium over 290X's but I think the people who buy these kind of cards are used to it... sure is cheap compared to the Titan Z xD "It might be fun watching hell freeze over!" I would never expected that, especially with the card/series being called Devil 13 Why not put in 4K and I assume 3 1080P monitors Eyefinity the the graph title? Might be more attractive to people who are less technical/n00bs/random visitors Edited June 25, 2014 by DanTheGamer11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

l1il Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 The very first Devil 13 was a HD 6970 . The first dual-GPU Devil 13 was the 7990. I remember pondering at that time if it was worth it. Then I decided to keep my 6950 until the arrival of the 7970GHz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well judging from other websites people who aren't gonna buy them also look at reviews like this, probably just fanboys and such but meh, visitors nonetheless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 It's cool but so overpriced. Don't even get me started on the Nividia overpriced line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Just an FYI guys this is a non reference R9 295X2 not a single core 290X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) I'd take the 295X2 before this...better power consumption and temps and performance... Good work! Edited June 26, 2014 by IVIYTH0S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Good review, and I have no intention of buying it, but it was an interesting read to see the benchmarks and temps. Mostly guys with small penises and drive Ferrari's would buy this card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
