Gadgetory

another day of high adventure in the PC realm welcome to techyv tomorrow for today's adventure raise that red and black flag high into the sky because you AMD fans this is something you're going to want to check out now like I said previous in their videos we're now working with AMD we're gonna be doing a lot to build with those folks and those builds involve a lot of killer parts so the first we'll be taking a look at right now it's in the people over at XFX now I know this video cards been out for a little while but this thing is a complete utter beast this is the r9 295x2 video karna this thing's the Hydra Edition has 8 gigabytes of ddr4 memory features power to 2.0 and it has to GPU processors on board bringing you twice the power hence the x2 now one thing even more awesome about this things that comes with its own water core that's right you don't have to do anything this thing comes liquid cooled out of the box so for you enthusiasts out there you want to have your card cool this thing's pretty cool is I know a lot of people out there already using these on water coolers for their CPU well now if you want to use your GPU you can just slap this in you can share this space man with that said though let's jump in let's take a really closer look at the Hydra edition of the XFX r9 295x2 so if you folks out there who have never actually seen this before close up check this out here's the box and it is a doozy you guys can see it's no mungus sticking this on a shelf space somewhere like Best Buy and I don't know about that cuz it's huge but here's the front of the box I know you guys don't want to get too crazy about it here's the back of the box here is the nomenclature which shows the model number we all have pricing and availability down below in the description so now let's move forward though and let's actually take this and see what's inside the box so right here we got a little flap on the side here I'll go ahead and pop that pop the cap the box goes down like this here and the cap pops open then inside of here we got all the stuff so wrap the bat we have the driver CD install guy this is always something that's made me question why does somebody need to know how to install a driver office CD like if you don't know how to do that you really should not be touching the computer I'm sure you guys agree with that I think that's kind of a kind of a weird thing to include in the box then we've got more Hardware limited warranty some more warranty information here here's your warranty card make sure if you have this card you send this in so you can get your full warranty then we've got the graphics driver CD I'll use this probably just to initially set it up but then I'll go and make sure I go over the MD website and install the very latest and most current driver because it'll probably be newer than this one so we'll set that down they have a little thing about their adapters in connector is not really important to this whatsoever just some stuff that you're getting from them now we have screws and that's here these things are obviously going to be probably to take off the water core and change it or do stuff like that also got some additional cabling here we have main DisplayPort to standard DisplayPort we've got a DVI to HDMI and then we start getting into the real deal which is this giant size thing here which is that bear with me folks I try to pull this out of the box like I said this whole thing is water-cooled so let's start out let's pull the card out kaboom and right here it says stop stop make sure you install and connect the card properly yes we realize that so check it out water cooler single fan single rad not bad right it was like it's nice 140 see the card right here beautiful looking card very clean looking has a red fan signifying once again the AMD and like I said in the beginning of the video the black and red flag because that's the total colors for these guys on the side we can see the Radeon nomenclature right here seeing the cards Radeon there are two stickers up here on top I'm not gonna remove them right now I guess I can go ahead and we'll just pop these little stickers off and these little stickers are where the power goes now in this particular card bear with me folks I try to do this I'm sorry to look away from the camera like that don't mean to be rude there are two full-blown eight pin power connectors to this bad boy so you got 150 watts reach one of those now as we translate over to the back of the card you guys can see they have a full-blown protector on the back of it you guys can see one GPU here one GPU there it's very cool this makes sure the card won't get damaged at all you can touch it we'll make the card actually last longer want to wear about that electrostatic shock on the bottom we have the PCIe Express 3.0 interface a common thing all cards have them got a little protective cover on here go and just quickly remove that just go ahead and stick it back on there just to keep it protected kind of like safe-sex it's a video card cutting them I'm just kidding now in the back cards pretty cool for main display ports and a single DVI port now this thing's gonna be able to pump out maximum I affinity stuff so if you're somebody looking to run multiple monitors looking to run 4k well then damn it this is a card you're gonna want to be seriously looking at now obviously for AMD this is their top-of-the-line bad-boy and we're gonna be comparing it against a lot of other things including and videos Titans heed to show all the comparison difference between the two cards now from what I'm hearing for most of my readers out there they're saying that they would pretty much probably take this card over the other card any day of the week due to the pricing now this particular car because it's water-cooled is totally top of line this car comes to market at about $1400 it's a little bit pricey but if you're looking at a Titan Z you're looking at a card that's almost $4,000 so big savings here between this and that less than half even so that's pretty amazing stuff we're gonna be taking this card we're gonna be putting actually two of these into the new x99 platform usually every bill we do we do a lot of them we always use in video cards this time we're gonna do something a little bit different and we're gonna put a pair of these bad boys on the x99 platform and bring a system like that to the table as well so I'm Eric thanks for watching ticker tomorrow like I said before all of this information will be down in the description pricing availability all that stuff so if you're looking to buy on these for yourself or just want to check out more information you guys can see that so thanks for watching techie tomorrow and last but not least if you're not subbed and you like what you see then Hank hit that sub button cuz we've always got exciting stuff going on for you guys our fans love you see you
