Faster than GTX Titan Z

The official press slides for the recently announced Radeon Pro Duo graphics card also brought the first performance figures from 3DMark FireStrike benchmark where the new dual-GPU graphics card is significantly faster than the GTX Titan Z.

Bear in mind that these results come from AMD so they should be taken with a grain of salt. According to details, the benchmark was done on a test system with Intel Core i7-5960X CPU, 16GB of RAM and Windows 10 OS, running with AMD 15.301 drivers and Geforce 361.91 drivers. The Radeon Pro Duo was compared to the Radeon R9 295X2 and Nvidia's flaghip dual-GPU GTX Titan Z graphics card.

According to the result, which you can see below, the Radeon Pro Duo is significantly faster than both of the aforementioned graphics cards and by quite a margin. While 1080p and 1440p resolutions are nice to see, the 4K/UHD is a bit more interesting as that is where the Radeon Pro Duo really shines, which does not come as a surprise considering that it is based on the same Fiji GPU as the Radeon Fury X.

In case you missed it earlier, the AMD Radeon Pro Duo is based on two fully-enabled Fiji GPUs, has 8GB of High Bandwidth Memory (4GB per GPU) and offers 16 TFLOPs of single-precision compute performance. It also comes with a liquid cooling solution coming from Cooler Master, just like the Radeon Fury X.

AMD announced that the Radeon Pro Duo will be available in early Q2 2016 with a price tag of US $1499.
