TAKEN FROM GAMESPOT

Today during the Game Developers Conference, AMD announced the Radeon Pro Duo, which it's calling "the world's first content creation platform aimed squarely at the VR developer." This takes the form of a dual-GPU featuring two Fury X-class graphics cards running side by side, making it "absolutely the most powerful graphics card in the world by far." That's the description AMD marketing executive Chris Hook used to explain the new board, which is principally focused on virtual reality...READ MORE ON GAMESPOT

Incredible 16 teraflops of compute performance. It's coming early Q2 2016 and will carry a price tag of $1500.

 

What do you guys in the Forum think?

Erm, I think you're late to the party.

REALLY, REALLY old news.

too bad its soo expensive.

and for content creation. else, i would replace my dual 390xs for that

[trag1c]

Very old news.

 

Anyways I wish Blender had better OpenCL support because that card would be a beast at 3D rendering.

AMD is turning into Nvidia with overpriced cards. My opinion will change when it's released.

This is a repost.

The R9 295X2 was $1500.

With price cut of the fury line up it is more expensive to get one fury pro duo oppose to 2 fury x. Yes you do save a pcie port and some electricity while idleling, but $900 against $1500 is a lot

? isnt the fury x around 650 dollars so its 1300 against 1500

[RexinOridle]

Putting 2 gpus on a single board doesn't make it absolutely most powerful.

Yeah... I specifically looked for american amazon and it still sent me to a uk one with pounds instead of dollars... Still it's very late for this gpu. If it would have came out a month after fury x I would understand the hype and price point. Right now with Vega arriving at the end of the year there is little point to this. Not to mention you need crossfire profile for the second gpu to even be used. I've already been burned by this problem in 2015 with my 7990. Never again

The Fury X has a TDP of 275W, and the Radeon Pro Duo has a TDP of 375W, It's massively more efficient.

So it seems more like two nanos instead of 2 fury x's to me.... 

 

Also @ZacoAttaco massive repost

It is, but has more Tflops than two Nano's .

Well sure, if you consider dual GPU cards to be a single card... but it's not, as it still need Crossfire/SLI support in games to actually make use of those two GPUs, otherwise it's the same as having a single GPU so it's not the most powerful card at that point....

if its meant for development then you dont need crossfire they can assign each gpu a different task
