AMD Fury x2 Demoed at V-R conference

[Mauller]

Such a niche product, not guaranteed to work 100% in all games and micro stuttering. Plus new gen high end cards are never more than a few months away after these.

Yes this was a negative post

Multi GPU in the majority of new games is broken. MGPU hacked on top of DX is at the end of its life now. As game engines have become more complex it has become harder to make it work.

MGPU will only survive now and run better than ever as Explicit MGPU is written into games using Low abstraction API's.

I solomly promise not to say anything about the picture nor laugh out loud.

Please tell me that picture is either fan made or a pee take, if not dear lord almighty.

I refuse to believe that it is anything other than a pee take or fan made, it simply can't be meant as serious advertising.

Can it?

Wow I'm rather jealous. Do you game in 4K? That's beast.

Here was my slightly less impressive 295x2 with 290x (Tri-fire)

But to be frank, Nvidia Titan X SLI with Hybrid liquid/air cooling is better

This card is geared for VR from what I have read, with each GPU rendering the separate image per eye. I.e shouldn't introduce micro stutter in this scenario. Not typical crossfire, sure you could use it for that purpose but this is a VR card.

For it's job this should be a beast, and likely the fastest solution for VR even when Polaris flagship lands etc.

Sounds good then, so long as AMD are on the ball with VR that is.

Here is my latest 4 way setup.

From what devs are saying, AMD hardware is far better suited to the lower latency needs for VR.

I think they are 'More ' on the ball than the competition hence AMD managing to partner with Oculus and in this case, demo Vive.

This is AMD were talking about.

It's obviously fan made. AMD wouldn't want a lawsuit.

(damn you... almost fell off my chair here and took out the boss )

Lets see how the new RTG perform. As a separate group they could turn things around. People are already of the opinion they are handling Polaris better than what has gone before.

Definitely fan made as the 2 Fury Xs in the pic have nothing at all to do with a dual card.

The Titan Z was a shocker for the cost. Stupid card. I also think it is a bad time to be releasing a Dual AMD GPU personally. CF seems to be so off lately (as does SLI before I get bashed) and whilst it will be a nice GPU, I feel it will end up causing a few headaches for people.

i have a feeling that crossfire will go hand in hand with VR, each eye with it's own card, and this might be what AMD's gonna announce with the dual Fiji.

On that note, it could be another reason why we will see Coherent Fabric interface in the consumer space. Since VR needs low latency links between GPU's in a multi gpu setup.

The Titan Z was very under clocked to just get it to work.

The Titan Z was designed by Apple's Jonathan Ive .. Style over substance. You can even see it in the reveal trailer. (It really needed a better cooling solution than that silly one fan and 2 smaller vapor chambers.)

Gregster naa the card was good for the intended audience the people that required cheap double precision and it still is the best mainstream Nvidia card for double precision on a single pci-e slot. It was just stupidly priced and Nvidia testing the water to see how far they can rip us off. All you needed to do was buy 3 x titan blacks and destroyed it for the same price.

I thought they had already, NVIDIA have that as part of gameworksVR as well

In theory, trouble is that developers seem to be targetting the GTX 970 as the card that most people will be using for VR , and I've been told that a lot of optimizations are yet to be deployed to optimize for that particular graphics card

I mean look at Gear VR, it runs on a phone
