From PC World: AMD's Radeon Pro Duo is here. On Tuesday morning, the company formally unwrapped its much-anticipated and highly delayed dual-GPU card, giving it—at least for now—the fastest graphics card on the planet.
With an asking price of $1,500—making it the most expensive modern consumer video card for gaming—it had better be fast. AMD claims a 1.5X performance advantage over a $1,000 GeForce GTX Titan X card.
Its reign may be short, but AMD's happy to wear the crown for as long as it lasts. To back up the marketing, AMD shared a few benchmark figures comparing the Radeon Pro Duo against a Nvidia GeForce Titan X and its own older Radeon R9 295X2 card in various games at 4K UltraHD resolution. No surprise: The Radeon Pro Duo's brighter-red bars are longer and faster.
Two Titan X cards would compete more closely with the Radeon Pro Duo. But the term “fastest GPU” usually refers to highest performance out of a single video card—even if it has two GPUs on it.
