first AMD Radeon Pro Duo ReviewWorld’s Fastest Graphics

The temps look very good. I'd also like to see some VRM temps as well. I think CM did a great job with the AIO design. I honestly don't see the reason to do custom water on this card, since the VRM are watercooled as well. I'm just hoping the VRM temps are good.

I mean 60 FPS In GTA V - Very high + 4XMSAA @ 4K - BEAST mode...
 
Why the negative? DOA, last gen bah bah bah...

Isn't they landed a big contract for a super computer using pro duo? They're making a patch of those to fill the contract why not make a few thousand more and sold them to developers that need it TODAY and don't care about price?
 
I don't think that effort for binning Fijis to Nanos TDP is big, for me is just Fiji that excels on efficiency at this TDP.

Yeah, getting multi gpus solution on the market is useful as it never was because of VR and AMD scalability plans. This product has a clearer objective than past dual-GPU solutions.

The price is obscene for me, but I see a lot of people buying, specially here where they love perf/w :sneaky:.

That is sexy, even though I'm acetal/copper kinda guy. :wub:
 
Can it OC? The original cards don't OC at all from what I remember. It looks nice, but new stuff is right around the corner.

So tell me why Fury X actually is actually fastest reference GPU in the world according to Techpowerup suite?

If we compare reference models of GPUs Fury X in 4K is faster than any other single GPU out there.

Go to recent review of any GPU on TPU and count the games. Fury X is faster in 4K than Titan X in 10 out of 15 games in their review suite. 10!

I'm sure AMD released an GPU with 5% frequency margin by coincidence, and they totally weren't pushing their silicon to the limit to target a competitor's product...

When does the embargo lift? Isn't it suppose to be out on the 26th?

It's already lifted. AMD apparently isn't sending review units to most of the usual websites. Techreport confirmed they don't have one, and apparently neither does Anandtech.

AMD looks to be trying to control the message. Because that approach has worked so well for them in the past :^/.

[H] doesn't have one either, and they are not happy.

The AMD Radeon Pro Duo sporting two Fiji GPUs, that makes this the quote "World's Fastest Graphics Card" according to AMD. Unfortunately, we are not able to test that claim since this is very much a paper announcement only, we do not have review units at this time, and AMD has explained again that it will not be sampling HardOCP a review sample..or any other review sample to the traditional hardware media. All we can do is show you the full official press deck from AMD which goes over the specifications and features and several photographs of the video card provided by AMD.

The reason AMD is not sampling the "World's Fastest Graphics Card" to video card reviewers, is told to us as such. Basically this video card is not for consumers according to AMD but rather only for "VR content developers." So once again AMD PR is trying to shield sites such as HardOCP from getting access to this new video card, much like it did last time with the AMD Nano. At least this time they have a "reason" for not sampling the "World's Fastest Graphics Card" to video card reviewers.

not sure what [H] expected

from the very beginning dual Fury was going to be very niche video card with a limited amount of supply

I don't know why AMD put R&D resources on it other than potential preparation for dual Vega HBM cards

Honestly, I think that after the tantrum they threw about not getting a Nano they expected that AMD was going to let them have a shiny new double binky to play with. Instead they were gobsmacked by the fact that they were told no.
 
someone should ask him where his titan z review is i mean it was only a 3 grand card he could get 2 pro duos for a titan z 😀
 
Is this even officially out yet?

AMD missed the boat with this one. Considering the reveal was almost 10 months ago.

Polaris is going to cannibalize it's success.

A cutting edge Canadian astronomy project will use AMD chips to provide the high performance computing it needs.
CHIME wanted to be based on consumer-derived technology where it was possible. It settled on AMD's FirePro S9300 x2 Server GPUs to help it measure the rate of expansion of the universe.
The project is designed to calculate the “baryonic acoustic oscillation” of hydrogen in the 0.8 to 2.5 redshift range. It will use 100 metre long static half-pipe array antennas to focus incoming radio signals between 400 and 800 MHz onto 1,024 radio receivers.
The FirePro S9300’s have a 13.9 TFLOP (peak single precision floating point performance) devices with terabyte-per-second memory bandwidth. This means they can be used alongside CHIME's own FPGAs to process all the data.
According to Nature the project will need 1,000 FirePro S9300s to do the number crunching. This is normally the market where Nvidia pitches its GPUs as number crunchers. It seems that even before ZEN saves the universe, AMD’s older technology still can give Nvidia’s GPU’s a run for their money.

AMD probably cant afford to send out review units. One of these card is what 0.01% of their entire revenue?
 
It would actually be interesting to compare a Pro Duo to one of the highly overclocked 980 Ti like a Matrix. It wouldn't surprise me at all if in gaming the Pro Duo is slower on average due to the prevalence of poor to no CF scaling in many new games.

Not unless your benchmark suite of games are all GameWorks or titles where CF doesn't function.

A 980Ti at 1.5ghz is actually only ~20% OC due to it's default boost clocks in the 1.25ghz range.

I'm hoping Big pascal or Vega 10 gets us there, because my new monitor might be in that resolution range.

I've given up on monitors. 1080p is enough to navigate a desktop to get me into whatever VR game I need to load.

Patiently waiting for the next version of the HTC vive to get into VR.
