14 DAY TRIAL // Given the huge price difference between NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Titan Z and AMD's Radeon R9 295 X2 graphics cards ($3,000 / €3,000 vs. $1,500 / €1,500), some may think that the latter falls short of a true dual-GPU board's might.
That's not the case though. Advanced Micro Devices took it upon itself to make sure that everyone knew that its product could definitely play even the most demanding games at ultra-resolutions.
So it took three 4K monitors (3840 x 2160 pixels resolution) and stuck them one next to another.
Then, it ran Lichdom: Battlemage at 11520 x 2160 pixels and full graphics options on the three-display setup.
The Radeon R9 295 X2 acquitted itself quite well. Not a small feat, considering that the CryEngine 3 (which the game is based on) is among the most demanding out there right now (yes, it powers Crysis 3).
Lichdom: Battlemage can only be bought in pre-alpha demo via Steam, for $20 / €14.37 and would normally need two or three high-end cards working together.
The Radeon R9 295 X2 is the equivalent of a two-board CrossFireX setup all on its own though, although, admittedly, it does cost a bit more than getting two R9 290X cards. However, it uses less power.
