should i get 2 R9 290x OR one R9 295x?

(i also notice the 295 says dual gpus 8gb idk if that means that its actually two or 1
 
Solution
1. R9 290X crossfire configuration is generally faster because having two dedicated cards allows the gpus to run at full clock speeds without being cramped into one card. so they will be a little faster than a r9 295x2

2. R9 295X2 also has some advantages. 1, it will be a lot lower wattage due to everything being in one single card. 2, you will have more room in your PC for other cards.
