AMD Announce Furyx2 (Gemini) performance

That's impressive power requirements for a dual gpu card. You could use a 550-600W PSU no problem. Too bad the 4GB HBM might hold it back in some cases. For VR it may be spot on though since I doubt many VR games will use 4K textures anytime soon.

Slides claim it won't even be 50% quicker than a single Fury card either by the looks of things, so it must be fairly heavily downclocked.

I do wonder if they are targetting this for smaller form factors than the R9 295X2 and Titan Z could fit into.

After all its being demonstrated in a SFF PC too.

It's a dual Nano not a dual Fury X.

It has been described as the Furyx2 for a long while now as the GPUs is the same used in both Fury and Nano.
But you are right in as much as now more specs have been release Gemini will function more like dual Nano's - that was an unknown until these new specs were released. Also there may be further twists before the product is released.

Hopefully it'll have very good AiO cooling and be overclockable to FuryX speeds :)
 
Bit of a farce of a release considering it was meant to be out in late autumn, its going to be around 6 or so months late?
 
Shame dual gpu support is so atrocious right now :( been saying this since the 7990 that AMD and Nvidia need to do more to support these types of cards if they are going to sell them. It's kinda abhorrent that they willingly sell a product like this and then most of the time half of it wont work with a game because they haven't bothered to sort a driver out for it. Can't see that trend changing anytime soon either

It does look interesting though, but I wouldn't touch a Fiji card myself personally, will be interesting to see it actually in real word testing and then see how it stacks up to a dual nano setup if that's what it's based on.

Also price will be key here bigtime, let's see if they still think they are a "premium" brand

Only slightly faster than a 295x2 is being said as well.

If it means massive efficiency gains and a smaller GPU to allow installations in small form factor cases that is a good thing imo.
Also I think there is a little more to it.
At 12 TFLOPS it is not possible for for the competition to beat it even if they paired two 980Ti's together. That would be in relation to Compute count and card size.

AMD could have had the compute count much higher if they wanted it to be.
We really have to wait and see how it performs but efficiency is the way forward, especially as 14nm GPU's will have it in abundance when they arrive.
 
Like others said, sounds like it could be good for VR but I don't think it's quite going to get me jumping out and buying it myself. The performance difference to a 295x2 (going off TFLOPS and what's being said) doesn't sound like it'll be massive. Polaris / pascal for me :p
