Jordan Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 AMD Radeon Pro Duo Announced, World’s Fastest Graphics Card Today AMD is announcing the world’s fastest graphics card. The $1500 AMD Radeon Pro Duo with 16 TERAFLOPs of graphics & compute horsepower. This cutting edge liquid cooled graphics board is powered by two of AMD’s latest Fiji GPU featuring vertically stacked High Bandwidth Memory. The first and only GPU in the world to use this next generation memory technology. At 16 teraflops the Radeon Pro Duo brings more than twice the compute horsepower of Nvidia’s GTX Titan X which peaks at 7 teraflops and more than three times the performance of AMD’s popular Radeon R9 390 graphics card. The AMD Radeon Pro Duo is designed with DirectX 12 games and Virtual Reality in mind for both professional VR and DX12 content creators as well as content consumers. The AMD Radeon Pro Duo maintains the same aesthetic design of AMD’s flagship single-GPU Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card. Just like the R9 Fury X it’s also liquid cooled, featuring a single 120mm radiator. We don’t have the exact measurements yet, but it does look to be the same as the one on the Fury X. The single radiator solution along with the 16 teraflops figure suggest a boost frequency of around 1000mhz. Finally the card also comes with three 8-pin power connectors AMD has done away with the dual 8-pin solution it had previously chosen for the R9 295X2 which w operated outside the PCIe 8-pin power spec in favor of a more convenient standard three 8-pin arrangement. So buyers will no longer have to do any research to try and find out if their power supply’s 8-pin cable meets the spec anymore. Any standard 8-pin will do. As such AMD has built a fully comprehensive ecosystem around this incredibly powerful hardware to make virtual reality a reality. With LiquidVR acting as the software backbone by which developers can bring life-like experiences to the virtual world on AMD hardware.

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 15, 2016 Administrator Share Posted March 15, 2016 Just HBM instead of HBM2. I guess HBM2 is not in mass production yet. It is to be seen what nVidia Pascal does. However, somehow AMD is way ahead right now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
