Hey, Claymore...
1.Does this miner support AMD R9 295x2?
2.Does the miner see it as two 290x's?
3.Would this card's performance be on par with two 290x's?
4.What kind of performance gain, if any, could one expect to see from the newly released 290x 8GB vs the regular 290x 4GB?
1,2,3. I don't have 295 card here, but miner must support this card and performance must be as for two 290 cards.
4. 8GB GPU memory won't improve performance at all for this miner.
