AMD RADEON 295X2 smiles for the camera.

Well lookie what we got here images of the upcoming R295X2! This is what you’re gonna get when you pop open that steel briefcase AMD plans on shipping this thing in. There was some debate on whether or not this card would be air cooled or liquid cooled. What we now have before us is a two slot hybrid water/air cooler keeping two 250w Hawaii chips in check. Each chip has all 2,816 stream processors enabled for a grand total of 5,632, 352 TMUs and 128 ROPs. Each chip sports 4GB VRAM for a total of 8GB and all that is wired to a massive 512-bit memory bus.  So it would seem that you’re getting two straight up bonafide Hawaii chips right? Well so far yes but we still don’t know anything about the clocks. Clock speeds will be crucial in determining final performance as well as power consumption and temperature levels.

Last but by no means least is the price. We have nothing concrete yet but rumors doing the rounds on the interwebs say that AMD could price “Vesuvius” (yes that’s its code name) at around $1,500, that’s half of what NVIDIA wants for the TITAN Z. With a price difference like that you could do a nice little system upgrade around the 295X2 and still have some cash left over  to get your self TITANFAL! See what I did there…..TITAN Z, TITANFALL? Ah forget it.
