AMD Radeon Pro Duo Preview: Dual Fiji Unleashed
AMD Radeon Pro Duo Performance
AMD is calling the Radeon Pro Duo “the world’s fastest graphics card”. And that should be true under the right conditions. Since the card is powered by dual GPUs, applications will have to be able to leverage both of the GPUs properly to achieve peak performance. As we’ve seen many times in the past, however, things don’t always scale or work properly on multi-GPU setups. In situations where the Radeon Pro Duo’s dual-GPUs aren’t fully leveraged, the card will perform like a single-GPU powered Radeon R9 Nano.
In Steam’s VR benchmark, AMD is claiming the Radeon Pro Duo can pin the meter and achieve the maximum score of 11.
In Blackmagic Davinci Resolve 12 and Autodesk 3DS MAX AMD is claiming big performance improvements thanks to the Radeon Pro Duo’s pair of GPUs.
The Radeon Pro Duo reportedly outperforms a pair of GeForce GTX Titan X cards in SLI when running Ashes Of The Singularity in DX12 mode as well, thanks to the game’s built-in support for asynchronous shader technology.
And with games that scale properly with CrossFire, AMD is claiming performance leadership at 4K as well.
We should reiterate, however, that these numbers were provided by AMD.
