AMD reveals $1499.99 Radeon Pro Duo. Fastest single Card.

[The Living Tribunal]

What is essentially 2 Fiji GPUs (or in this case 2 Fury X GPUs) on one PCB the Radeon Pro Duo GPU just unveiled by AMD is now the fastest single card in existence. This new monster effectively replaces the R9 295x2 as the top flagship for the line.

In comparison to the Nvidia Titan Z (which is also a duo GPU on one PCB) the Radeon Pro Duo is a whopping 51% faster.

Specs for this monster indicate that 4K should be the only resolution worth displaying on this card:
4,096 stream processors, 256 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, each; with 4 GB of HBM memory, each.
That is 8 Gigs of HBM memory total.

It seems AMD has fired the first shot, with Nvidia set to unveil the 'Pascal' GPUs later in April.
The race towards 60fps/4K on single cards is getting heated.

Its Cross Fire on One card. meh and Polaris is Amd's Pascal answer.

That's a lot of money...

I could never justify spending that on a graphics card...

I'd rather have 5 average ones I upgrade every few years.

On a serious note, the last last laptop I bought, this is exactly what I asked the sales rep.

A little too rich for my blood. My 670FTW is still going decent, but I need something new. I've mostly been nVidia for GPU but I plan on making a return to AMD processors later this year if the new Zen releases. Was thinking of just grabbing a R9 390 for now but think I'll hold off for a couple months and see about the new Polaris line. My processor (i7 930) will probably bottleneck it for now but will still be better than the 670.
