Awesome card

XFX Core Edition Radeon R9 295x2 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R9-295X-8QFA

Pros: This card can handle anything. Am running it on 3 Asus 144hz monitors and have been able to play everything maxxed out in eyefinity without a hitch. Was looking at getting one of these when the price first dropped to $1000, but at the current $700 it's a steal.

Cons: none really - only con for me (and this will likely be only me) is that i did not realize the fan lit up bright red (thought it would be just the logo on side) which clashes slightlky with my blue/white theme. guess i'll have to swap my color scheme a little or just leave it a patriotic red, white and blue lol

Overall Review: wondering if 4 GPUs would scale well enough to make buying a second one worthwhile :P

power!

Pros: can power anything. nice full modular setup plenty of connections right out of the box (no need to buy extra over-priced cables) near silent

Cons: none - she's a beast

Very Nice for us AMD users

Pros: AWESOME 2d performance. great colors and contrast. 3D works well with the TriDef drivers (SW:TOR looked great!) but the iZ3D drivers were garbage (tho that has nothing to do with the monitor) If your an AMD user and on a budget like me you'll really like this monitor. if your and Nvidia user dont get it, it's not for you, just in case you havent read that a million places already

Cons: There is some slight ghosting at the top of the screen while viewing 3D. 90% of the time it is minor and practically unnoticeable, tho at times it can be a tad annoying. i wouldnt let this stop you from buying one tho.
