Report: AMD's Dual-Hawaii to be Called 295X2; Watercooled

[N.Broekhuijsen]

AMD's upcoming Radeon R9 295X2 might be even more insane that we anticipated.

This is the first time I heard about a non-retailer liquid cooled GPU. Gotta keep my eyes on this one O.O

Price: $3000 due to crypto currency miners.Naming makes a bit of sense.

This is probably going to sit pretty high on the crypto mining list. As long as this board is cheaper than buying 2 r9-290 gpus.

Keep your eyes on it in case it sets your house ablaze.

Get your free space heater and killer graphics card all-in-one Wonder by ATI, I mean AMD.

I hope they all die in a fire...caused by the cards they have driven the prices up on.

 

[frank the tank]

the new Hawaii GPUs kind of remind me of the first gen Fermi Nvidia cards. but i hope those blasted miners don't drive the prices up. I have never heard of a REFERENCE watercooled video card before.

I believe script miners are out now, so by the time this comes out mining based inflation shouldn't be a large concern.

 

[ohyouknow]

$1500-2000 gg. GPU's...

 

[billgatez]

The cost of the card and the cost of power will keep me away from this card.

Shut up about the miners already. Miners dont want watercooled anything. Air cooling is predictable. That is why pretty much everything mission critical is air cooled. Miners run 24/7 non stop as long as they can.

It'll be initially on sale to areas affected by the polar vortex to balance climate change...

And there we have it GPU and room heater all in one.

 

[Drejeck]

Put inside a FX9000 and you'll see your town blacking out as you turn on the rig. Liquid cooled, yes, with a Scania intercooler!

 

[childofthekorn]

Wonder if they took care of the frame pacing issues with GPU's on the same PCB. I know they took care of the frame pacing issues with newer graphics that are NOT using the XFire bridge. Now we play the waiting game.

Us people in Northern climates actually do that. My mining machine heats the room it is in throughout the winter, I just shut the electric heaters off and it does all the work.

 

[rwinches]

I heard it uses stacked GPUs as a space saving feature, plus an auxiliary power supply that fits in a 3.5 drive slot.

I notice it myself, when I run my pc with a decent oc in the winter I never need my heating, still while its a very efficient heater getting it to produce just the right amount of heat is doable but yea the heat from your pc is still useful in the winter.

You need to game as hard as you can on your computer to keep yourself warm. Sounds cool.

dear toms hardware the r9 295×2 will be two r9 290x chips hence why the hybrid cooling, since an r9 290 can be air cooled, and unlike the 790 which will not be fully enabled has already lost the battle since the 295×2 will be fully enabled.
