AMD Announces "Absolutely Most Powerful Graphics Card in the World"
The Radeon Pro Duo has 16 teraflops of compute performance; Assassin's Creed VR experience coming.
Today during the Game Developers Conference, AMD announced the Radeon Pro Duo, which it's calling "the world's first content creation platform aimed squarely at the VR developer." This takes the form of a dual-GPU featuring two Fury X-class graphics cards running side by side, making it "absolutely the most powerful graphics card in the world by far." That's the description AMD marketing executive Chris Hook used to explain the new board, which is principally focused on virtual reality.
"Rather than just do another workstation card, we actually started about a year ago; we sampled VR developers [about what they'd like to see from a VR card," Hook told us in a recent interview.
He said AMD wondered, "What would happen if we took professional workstation-class drivers and gaming drivers and fuse them together to create a platform that would not only give you great scaling across pre-vis and post- and rendering applications... but would also be a great gaming platform?'"
