R9 295x2 Out Of Stock

[RahulMonkey]

I can't find an r9 295x2 anywhere. I want it new for less than 750. Does anyone know anywhere

New for only USD$750? Nope, you're about 9 months too late. You can buy it used on Ebay for around that price. I wouldn't recommend it though because even though the synthetic benchmarks are spectacular, real world game play is reported to have noticeable micro-stutters with many 2014 and 2015 titles. AMD isn't supporting it with driver updates anymore to my knowledge.

Best bet if you're only interested in AMD is to wait for the R9 395x2. I have no idea when it's releasing but I'm guessing before Pascal does. Or you could simply purchase and crossfire two R9 390's, which is in essence what the 395x2 will be but on two PCB's instead of one. In order to pull that off, you'll need at least a 1,000 watt tier 1 or 2 power supply.

i don't need amd but I'm building triple 1080p 144hz racing simulator anf the r9 295x2 in crossfire seemed like my best bet

Sli is your best bet crossfire has way too many issues

Why not just grab a single 980Ti? Costs less, uses less power , it is slower than a 295x2 in some titles and faster in others, plus no issues related to multi-gpu setups. 3 1080p monitors is actually less of a load than 4k and a single 980ti can handle 4k decently well. If it has to be AMD then get a Fury X.

Be care with this particular card. You can return it for replacement of the same card, but it's non-refundable. One of the five customer commenters mentioned his dissatisfaction with trying to return this GPU to NewEgg.

Return Policies

Return for refund within: Non-refundable
Return for replacement within: 30 days

ALL cards are that way.

 

[rcald2000]

You are correct and I am wrong. Other cards do indeed say the same policy. Now that I think about it, I've returned merchandise to Amazon for full refunds, but maybe I've never done that with NewEgg. I suppose NewEgg always offers me NewEgg credit, which is as good as cash to me, because I'm always buying stuff from them.

If you don't open it they will still refund it with a restocking fee. But once opened it's replacement only.
