AMD working on new dual-GPU Vesuvius graphics card

Hawaii-based dual-GPU flagship

According to a report from VR-Zone.com, AMD is quite serious about squeezing two fully enabled Hawaii GPUs on a single PCB that will be a future dual-GPU flagship currently known for its codename "Vesuvius".

Codenamed after the famous stratovolcan located in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, the new dual-GPU will apparently feature fully enabled Hawaii GPUs that will most likely end up with a lower clocks compared to the Radeon R9 290X. It is still not clear on how AMD actually plans to power such a graphics card and what kind of cooler would be enough to cool those two GPUs considering that R9 290X is not doing well on that front.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of unknowns but at least we now know that AMD has plans for such a card and we will surely hear more as the development heats up.
