has out-maneuvered its competitors wearing green. And few will
disagree that the Radeon R9 295X2 is the winner on gaming performance and also price. At $1,500, the Radeon R9 295X2 is half the
price of the Titan Z and edges it in a lot of tests.
So when we spec’ed out this year’s rig, we just knew we’d have
to have a Radeon R9 295X2 on our Dream Machine Team. But what
could make a Radeon R9 295X2 even better? How about a Radeon
R9 295 X4? OK, there’s no actual such beast, but if you take two
Radeon R9 295X2 cards, that’s actually X4 based on the rules of
marketing.
The R9 295X2 itself is basically a pair of Radeon R9 290X cards,
but uses an Asetek custom-designed CLC to keep the GPUs from
incinerating your PC. The CLC amazingly keeps the GPU cool and
quiet without sounding like a Hoover vacuum. How would CLC X2’s
do against a pair of Titan Zs with custom cooling? We don’t care.
Again, both are on the same Dream Machine Team.
