AMD Radeon R9 295X2 review: If you have the cash, AMD has the compute power |
April 10, 2014
AMD has launched the latest salvo in the gaming video-card arms race: the Radeon R9 295X2. Featuring two of AMD’s best graphics processors, 8GB of GDDR5 memory, and a preinstalled liquid cooling system, AMD claims this is the fastest video card on the market.

Boasting a staggering 12.4 billion transistors, 5,632 stream processors, clock speeds up to 1.02GHz, and compute performance of 11.5 teraflops, the Radeon R9 295X2 is an amazing video card.
