So what do people think to the R9 295x that leaked... 2mh/s anyone??

NICE!

... but I think that by the time I can afford a brace, I won't be worried about using them for mining Wink

4500 satoshi to the Zeit, anyone?

Or 100000 sat for my Blitz... I wouldn't buy one for mining, it won't make ROI with asics rolling out later this year. Well, maybe if more coins use X11 or some newer as yet made algo.

Still, that with the new 28" Samsung 4k 60hz monitor will probably be a beast for gaming Cheesy

While I believe there's plenty of life in GPU mining for some time to come as many coins will switch to Scrypt-n, X11 and others when Scrypt-only ASICs land, that 295X won't have enough power to be an efficient miner.
My 290s already pull >350W when running @ ~85 degrees C.

And AMD still have work to do on multi-GPU framerating to make a dual GPU card really worth the investment for gaming. They're close but I think it's the next gen when they'll hopefully have a hardware timer to properly sort the issue.

Not sure about the hybrid cooler though unless they're using G1/4" fittings, dislike the inflexibility of those sealed units, especially when paying dual-GPU money, should be able to invest in a dedi-watercooling loop.
