AMD has today announced the launch date for the new AMD Radeon R9 295X2 graphics card that will be launching on April 21st for $1500. This high-end graphics card offers two Hawaii XT cores, 5632 stream processors, 352 TMUs, and 128 ROPs, making it a powerhouse for gaming and professional applications.
The AMD Radeon R9 295X2 is equipped with a massive 8GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1250 MHz (5GHz effective) and is fitted with a dedicated cooling solution complete with a fan and liquid cooling system. This advanced cooling solution ensures that the card remains at optimal temperatures even under heavy load, providing consistent performance without thermal throttling.
Enhanced Performance and Features
AMD has built on the technology they used to create the AMD’s R9 290X to build the new AMD Radeon R9 295X2 graphics card, which provides nearly twice the graphical processing power of the previous version. Using its dual Hawaii 290X chips, the R9 295X2 has been specifically designed for the arrival of 4K Ultra HD. This makes it an excellent choice for gamers and content creators who demand the highest levels of detail and performance.
The AMD Radeon R9 295X2 offers 11.5 TFLOPs of compute power from its 8GB of GDDR5 memory and a GPU clock of up to 1018MHz and 5,632 stream processors. This immense processing power allows for smooth gameplay at ultra-high resolutions and the ability to handle complex computational tasks with ease. The card also supports AMD’s Mantle API, which provides a more efficient way for games to communicate with the GPU, resulting in better performance and lower CPU usage.
Real-World Applications and Benefits
In real-world applications, the AMD Radeon R9 295X2 excels in both gaming and professional environments. For gamers, the card’s ability to handle 4K resolutions means that games will look incredibly sharp and detailed, with no compromise on frame rates. Titles such as “Battlefield 4” and “Crysis 3” can be played at maximum settings, providing an immersive and visually stunning experience.
For professionals, the R9 295X2’s compute power is invaluable for tasks such as video editing, 3D rendering, and scientific simulations. The card’s dual GPUs can significantly reduce rendering times in software like Adobe Premiere Pro and Autodesk Maya, allowing for more efficient workflows and faster project completion.
Additionally, the card’s advanced cooling system ensures that it remains stable and reliable even during extended periods of use. This is particularly important for professionals who rely on their hardware for critical tasks and cannot afford downtime due to overheating.
