AMD has now officially announced its new flagship dual-GPU graphics card based on two 28nm Fiji GPUs, the Radeon Pro Duo.

Although marketed as the graphics card for content creation, it is obvious that the Radeon Pro Duo is currently the fastest graphics card from AMD. Interestingly, AMD did not market the new Radeon Pro Duo as a gaming or virtual reality (VR) graphics card but rather as a graphics card aimed at developers and content creators, putting it somewhere between its a gaming/consumer and professional FirePro graphics cards.

As it is based on two fully-enabled 28nm Fiji GPUs, the Radeon Pro Duo packs a total of 8192 Stream Processors, 512 TMUs and 128 ROPs, as well as 8GB of HBM, with 4096-bit memory interface per GPU. As announced earlier, AMD Radeon Pro Duo offers 16 TFLOPs of single-precision compute performance.

While it was not specifically announced during the presentation, it is safe to assume that the Radeon Pro Duo GPUs work at up to 1000MHz while memory is clocked at 1000MHz, providing a total of 512GB/s of memory bandwidth.

The Radeon Pro comes with a similar Cooler Master-made liquid cooling solution as the Radeon R9 Fury X. Although it is a power-hungry graphics card, powered by no less than three 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors for a total of 525W TDP, the cooling solution still has a single 120x120mm radiator. It also comes with three DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 1.4a output, just like the R9 Fury X.

AMD expects the Radeon Pro Duo to start shipping in early Q2 2016 with a price set at US $1499. Unfortunately, this makes the Radeon Pro Duo a bit more expensive than two Radeon R9 Fury X graphics cards but it is a more compact solution so and aimed at developers and content creators, rather than gamers.
