So much suddenly makes sense!

Its a Dual GPU card its not unexpected for a dual card to break 500watt

Im suprised it didn't break 650watt tbh considering a single 290x can pull near 350watt.

same with 780TI's

350 sounds like a lot. I know 290's can be undervolted to draw ~220 watts mining full throttle.

AMD has been hinting at this GPU for awhile now. The whole "two is better then one" concept.

So if I plugged in four of these cards, what would I be able to run and how well?

Janus67 · Apr 4, 2014

You couldn't, the most you can plugin is 2 as windows/crossfire is limited to 4 GPU cores (in this case 2 per card).

I didn't know that. So a dual-GPU card, do they perform better than the same specs on two separate cards, or is it the same? (Or worse?)

manu2b · Apr 5, 2014

Âs long as the frequencies are the same, they perform the same.

A dual GPU card usually OC less than 2 cards, due to heat issue.

So is there any real advantage in having a dual GPU card? I feel I must be missing something here.

2 chips on a single card

A single 120 rad to cool two 250 chips? :screwy:

Johan45 · Apr 5, 2014

It'll be interesting to see some reviews and how well it actually works.
