DX12 looks to be Gameworks performance levels, all over again.

"To maintain 60 FPS in 1080p you do not need single GTX 980 Ti, now. You need two of them!"

Very interesting. There is not much difference between Duo and two FuryX's. You would think a single pcie lane for double Fiji could be not enough.

Other than that, nice 4k card. It certainly can push a lot of pixels.

Yeah that 295x2 is ridiculous how it keeps up with the new stuff. Just crazy and pretty awesome.

The only really disappointing thing to me about the Pro Duo besides the obvious price issue is that they didn't use a removable fitting on the radiator that would allow it to be tied into an existing system or another rad to be added. The included cooling is probably the best reference CLLC system it's seen.

I really think the Duo would have been a monster if it could have been released within 90 days of the Fiji launch last year....really hard to justify this now though.

Why bother if you already have a loop and not get teh fullcover block?

I never said it was a major concern. :)
Still, the VRM cooling on this one seems good enough that you don't need to buy a full cover block and fuss with installing it.

For sure it would be better if AMD had released this card 6 months ago.

Didn't another review show it using much less power? I'd be curious to see its power consumption (vs FuryX CF and 980ti sli) in Ashes DX12, as that seems to be able to saturate AMD cards the most.

Edit:

Here it is

I ran Firestrike at regular, Extreme and Ultra on rig 2 below to give you a comparison of Graphics scores. Note first that the test bed for the scores above was a 6700k at stock. I'm running a 4790k @4.7 with 2 Sapphire Tri-X R9 290s, watercooled. but running stock 1000 core, 1300 memory in CF.

On to my graphics scores.

Regular 23,082; Extreme 10,106 and Ultra 5003.

Not bad for 2 Tri-X R9 290s CF stock.
