and II just released their AMD Radeon Pro duo video card which is a dual GPU it's got two fiji GPUs in it so it'd be the same as was used in the fury X it has two of those it's still liquid cooled and it's $1,500 so that just came out we're not gonna get one to review but we can certainly do a quick recap of the specs so this is something that's targeted at VR $1500 units it's a single card solution with two GPUs and it is about 350 watt TDP between the two of them the memory setup is two banks of four gigabytes of HP M so each GPU has direct access to four gigabytes of HP m and they will list that as eight gigabytes and their specifications which is not technically incorrect but using the older API is you're only going to be accessing four gigabytes of that at any one time with the new api's though things change a bit because DirectX 12 in Vulcan can talk to the full pool of SLI or crossfire memory with their explicit multi GPU support embedded in the API directly so that's the basics the memory bandwidth all this stuff is the same as you're used to with HBM from previously but just to recap it's got one terabyte per second of a total potential throughput on the memory alone that's using the high bandwidth memory that is stackable on the substrate on top of an inter poser for the GPU and that was introduced with the fury X so that's a HBM version one it's using the feejee GPU and it's got a 4096 bit with memory interfaces two of those one for each card so that's all the same it's just two of them now the card itself is pushing the sort of liquid VR solution that AMD has been big on since I believe GDC maybe a year or two ago now and liquid VR is basically a means to reduce time warp which is the effect in virtual reality where if there's a slight frame drop or poor low frame time performance 1% low 0.1% low as we call them then liquid VR will smooth that out and help reduce the chance of becoming sick or nauseated as a result of the change in frame times and frame delivery so that's what liquid VR does the card has 16 teraflops of compute which is totally useless for us as gamers for the most part it's just a lot of power for 15 dollars but that's because being targeted most heavily at developers and people working with VR or a high-end 3d modeling animation those types of solutions specifically looking at VR and that's why we're not going to be reviewing it because it's just out of scope for the website but it's interesting to talk about so dual GP solution at 1,000 megahertz base clock so it's the core clock for each of the GPUs and you can overclock that slightly though we've generally seen about a 50 megahertz overclock for these AMD GPUs so not too impressive maybe 5 percent gain best for FPS in games and that pretty much covers what we got for news right now other than I guess I didn't talk about the cooling for a second it's got fep tubing so this is using the same sort of modified liquid cooling solution as was in the fury X and that means that there's a cold plate on the card for each of the GPUs and unlike the hybrid solution cooling which uses a vrm blower fan for the vrm the cooling solution for the fury X and the feejee cards this one in particular the Radeon Pro duo is using a an FTP tube so that's a more plastic rigid tube and that has an insulating layer inside of it that's that prevents permeation of liquid into the tubes and loss of liquid over time they also have sort of an extra tank of liquid on the 120 millimeter radiator so if you look at the radiator it's pretty thick but it has like an extruded portion below the fan and that is used to store extra liquid and so that extra liquid is supposed to help lengthen the lifetime of the GPU of the liquid cooling solution which generally they last about 5 years but it should be a bit longer on the produ oh and the fury acts because they have that extra chamber so that's the set up there the liquid cooling the liquid itself temperature will run a bit higher than you're used to with hybrid solution VR cooler or vrm coolers because the liquid for the AMD cards is cooling the capacitor is the vrm and everything else and that means overall that the capacitor leakage should be lower which helps improve the TDP of the device overall hence the lower TDP than usual for AMD so that is the new video card links in the description below for more information on all the other news that's come out in the last week or so patreon link the mess hall video if you like this content thank you watching it we'll see you all next time
