AMD Fury x2 Demoed at V-R conference

If people would actually stop and think WHY they want unmirrored VRAM (in 2016 no less, with 12GB cards already), this white whale of GPU tech would fade away quickly.

I hope the GPU companies aren't actually wasting any resources on this non-problem.
 
AMD to give away R9 Fury X2 powered computers at GDC?

Yet another tweet, but this time from the brightest star (aka Polaris) in AMD marketing team, Roy Taylor himself. The Radeon-themed systems in this photo are likely the same systems that were announced by Taylor at VRLA Winter Expo. Back then he said:

We promised you we would take two of our highest end GPUs and put it inside that tiny box and if you go downstairs we actually have a demonstration of a dual GPU, 12 TeraFlops, fastest GPU solution in the world, inside of Tiki.

which basically confirms that these computers are ‘dual-GPU’ systems with 12 TFLOPs computing power. It also means that Fury X2 is not running at the same clock speed as Fury X2, but something close to 732 MHz per GPU, as long as these are Fiji chips with 4096 Stream Processors.

Dear lord people, you're comparing a 375W card to an older 500W card. Where do you think performance will be once you put clocks up and use 500W? 33% more power, call it 25% more flops at least... so 11.5tflop card to a 15tflop card... oh no.

They went with a lower base TDP, it wouldn't surprise me if this had an uber setting bios switch like other cards have.

12TFLOPS, about 0.5TFLOPS more than their 'old' dual-gpu card. Progress :cool: :p

As much as certain posters like to bah the maxwel cards for having reduced compute performance the Fiji cards also have cut down DP compute:

[QUOTE]In double precision compute tasks the R9 290X is just as fast, if not slightly faster than AMD’s brand new Fury X.[/QUOTE]


But of course it is only fashionable to bash Nvidia on this forum.
 
I'm not really a fan of these dualgpu cards. But if the clockspeeds are this low in real, then there should be good overclocking potential left. That ofc requires the card to be equipped with proper cooling solution, and proper tools to power it up.
 
Not sure where the 375w number comes from, being that a single Nano is 175w so two singles would only be 350, put them both on the same board and it should definitely be lower. But anyway DM is quite right, you cannot really compare this FuryX2 to the 295X2 as that cards power requirement was off the charts.
I expect that this card will be a bit 'meh' at stock but assuming it can be tweaked it should perform just like two released Nano's would, which is not too shabby at all.
