Well guys. the new king is here: R9 295X2. Armed with total of 5632 Stream Processors, 8GB of GDDR5 memory (4GB X 2), higher clock speed than R9 290X and a Hybrid Cooling solution, this beast is the perfect solution for 4K Gaming. Pricing will be around $1500 but the reviews show that it is faster than two Titan or 780 Ti in SLI while having significant lower price.
Check out the in depth review from Tomshardware: AMD Radeon R9 295X2 Graphics Card Review - Tom's Hardware

This might be interesting :D
AnandTech | NVIDIA Releases 337.50 Beta Driver, Touts Significant Performance Improvements

The end result has been that NVIDIA has been focusing on Mantle-enabled games for their driver performance improvements, doing what they can to improve performance within the confines of Direct3D 11. This has included Battlefield 4 and Thief so far, and we wouldn’t be surprised if NVIDIA undertook a similar effort for any future high-profile Mantle games. All things considered NVIDIA has an overall hardware performance advantage at the high end, but AMD’s Hawaii products are fast enough that NVIDIA needs to counter Mantle-derived performance improvements if they wish to stay on top, giving NVIDIA a very good reason to keep an eye on AMD and Mantle.

Its like a cheat fund, its a scam, a very elaborate one, there was once a promise floating in web, that one can become rich by running some program and solving some maths, and then they will be awarded a virtual currency which Governments all around the world will accept without a question and trade against real money. It hadn't happened yet, most probably never will, some online shops do accept that currency, mostly selling illegal stuff like drugs(darknet) etc.

And so is the flaw. People want to use cryptocurrencies to avoid paying taxes, or buying/selling illegal content, no government is interested to know what you do with your 1bn after you had paid taxes(maybe brazil), so most people who are using it are either criminals or those who want to be a millionaire overnight doing absolutely nothing(electricity bills and hardware costs extra), so there's no guarantee that the other side will hold on to the deal.
