Dual-GPU 8GB GDDR5 card

The MSI R9 295X2 8G delivers two graphics processors on a single board with 8GB of GDDR5 memory. It connects through a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot and drives displays up to 2560×1600 resolution. The 2×512bit memory interface feeds both GPUs for high-bandwidth workloads.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 8-pin power connectors supply the current needed for extended compute or render sessions. The 5000MHz memory frequency maintains throughput when both chips run continuously. Thermal output scales with the combined draw, so case airflow must handle the sustained heat.

Build and connectivity

The card arrives without original packaging or accessories as a used unit graded 90% to 80% new. A 100% functional inspection is completed before shipment. Buyers should verify physical clearance and power-supply capacity before installation.

Questions about this item

How much power will the twin 8-pin connectors draw when the R9 295X2 runs all day?

The card requires two 8-pin power connectors, so a supply rated for high-wattage dual-GPU loads is essential.

What motherboard slot and chassis clearance do I need for this dual-GPU board?

It needs a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and enough physical space for a large, dual-slot cooler.

Will the 2560×1600 maximum resolution work with my older DVI-only monitor?

The card outputs up to 2560×1600; an active adapter is required if the monitor lacks DisplayPort or HDMI.
