    It look pretty hefty. I guess GeForce has abandoned the dual GPU concept. That board would certainly benefit from a full coverage waterblock if one becomes available.

    Having previously used both AMD Radeon R9 295X2 and EVGA Dual-GPU Graphics Cards in past Single Dual-SLI and Quad-SLI setups, I would say this card Most Definitely would need a Full Cover Water Block if you were even DREAMING of Overclocking/Benching with it.

    You could probably make toast in the morning with it, LOL.

    Nice, I was looking to switch over from my wood-burning stove to electric to heat the house, this should do nicely.

    This is bascially the Devil13 290X model but with the R9 390 GPU and 8GB per GPU instead of 4. Anyhow, it may physically have 16GB of VRAM on board, but memory doesnt stack in SLI and Crossfire, correct? So only 8GB is truly usable AFAIK.

    That is correct.  When DX12 games are made with SLI VRAM stacking it will be true, but that is still a ways off.

    It looked very nice until I saw it was an AMD. That's the downfall. :P
