    GO FRIGGING FOR IT 7990 will get a good price since miner's would want it I think. Also if miners start to hoard 295x2 you really want to pick it up early, if you are planning 4k and are itching for a HW upgrade this is a peach of a time IMO. Maxwell high end stuff and next gen ATI .... I expect at best maybe nvidia has something for christmas holiday release (going by rumors and speculation I remember reading)

    Very poor scaling...

    I would be actually more interested in power consumption! Pity they do not mention that.

    All else is the opposite.
    Incorrect. Anandtech has the 780Ti SLI beating the 295x2 at 4k or 1440p by an average of 5%. Plus the 780Ti SLI is cheaper and uses FAR less power.

    Was it because they use Intel i7 4930K @ 4.7GHz?
    Or is it the actual run through sequence they use on their benchmarks?[/QUOTE]

    Where do you get the 780 ti SLI as being cheaper or using less power than a single 295x?

    I'll stick with my GTX 690 I bought on e-bay for $500.00 for a bit. These will be on the cheap someday also.

    2 780ti makes no sense with this card around takes two slots less and is gonna run much quieter less heat less cables easier to put in other cards etc etc etc. You would have to be really really stupid to go with 2 780ti lol.

    Not even worth arguing cause ATI has been kicking your nvidia butt all over the place and all you guys can do is post online and cry about it. Cry more and call sensible decisions fanboism because you are the fanboi of the losing side haha. Awww of course its not worth arguing 780ti sli IS A OPTION compared to this elegant dual slot solution that comes with water cooling installed will run quieter and cooler and its just better on SO MANY levels but your sorry nvidiot ass cant just take it.

    Cry more ignorant one support your team because you have been spamming their marketing material for hours and now your brain is no good. Well considering where you are that was already the case so you were prolly just a easy target. CRY MORE !!!

    Just read on Facebook that EK is indeed making a single slot block!

    So that's AquaComputer, Koolance, and EK. Outstanding
