AMD has officially launched its flagship dual-GPU Radeon Pro Duo graphics card with two fully-enabled Fiji GPUs and a US $1500 price tag. Surprisingly, there are no reviews to be seen and it is nowhere to be found in retail/e-tail either.
Designed and engineered with both Virtual Reality (VR) developers and gamers in mind, the AMD Radeon Pro Duo will have both professional/content creation FirePro and consumer Radeon drivers, depending for what do you intend to use it for.
Specification wise, the Radeon Pro Duo is basically two Radeon R9 Nano graphics card stitched together on the same PCB and cooled by a dual block Cooler Master liquid cooling system with 120mm radiator. With this in mind, you get a total of 8192 Stream Processors, 128 ROPs and 512 TMUs as well as 4GB of High Bandwidth Memory per GPU (8GB in total), each connected via 4096-bit memory interface.
The TDP is set at 350W and it needs three 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors to work. It comes with three DisplayPort and single HDMI outputs.
According to AMD, the Radeon Pro Duo should be available as of today with a price tag of US $1500, but unfortunately, it is not listed anywhere, neither in Europe or the US. Surprisingly, AMD has also decided not to send any review samples to usual sites so we won't see any performance numbers either.
We heard that there are not many graphics cards available and most probably went to big partners in retail and developer market.
Hopefully, some sites will manage to score a card or two and we will see some reviews soon.
