Is it possible to have 4 r9 295x2 in a single case (like corsair 900d)?

I cannot find anything that talk about that. I only find 2 295x2 (and they say is Quad way CR).

Is it impossible?

Each r9 295x2 has 2 r9 290x gpu's on one PCB. so with one card you would be running crossfire, with 2 cards you will be running quadfire. 1 card, 2 gpu's. There is no way to run 4 295x2's I'm a single system.

4 Way crossfire is the maximum and one r9 295x2 is already 2 way crossfire, so you can only run two of them in one system. You could put 4 in if you wanted to but only two would be used

Some tips:

1) I'd recommend NVidia SLI instead of that's an option for you. Such as 2x GTX970.

2) If you have Crossfire you should run a game both with and without to see which works better. Some games have issues causing stutter or low frame rates. For example, I don't think the DX9 "runt frame" issue that causes a game to look like 30FPS despite reporting as 60FPS has been fixed as of yet.

(the "30fps runt" issue is caused by the second GPU only displaying a very small amount of data so you mainly just see what the first GPU is outputting. However you only then see about HALF the frames you should be thus sometimes a SINGLE card works better for the full 60FPS experience. You can tell as 30FPS will feel more sluggish)

295x2 = crossfire 290x

After 2 cards the scaling of the 3rd and 4th card is very bad and not worth the money. Have u considered 970sli?

The software will only support 2 of these cards. There is no scaling of the 3rd or 4th card as they are simply not used. Getting a second one is cool and all, but only if you actually use them. If your monitor only supports 60hz and your displaying 60 fps you will not gain anything from adding another card.
