Sapphire RADEON Pro Duo / Graphics card / 2 GPUs / Radeon Pro Duo / 8 GB HBM / PCIe 3.0 x16 / HDMI, 3 x DisplayPort / retail | 21253-00-40G

Description

Packing two Fiji XT chips and 8 GB of next-generation HBM memory, it's a truly fast graphics card. Virtual Reality and 4K gaming are the benchmarks of Radeon Pro Duo, but the Pro also stands for superior performance in content creation. Gamers, artists and developers alike will all benefit from the extreme 16 teraflops of raw computational power offered by the very first member of the Radeon Pro product family.The SAPPHIRE Radeon Pro Duo delivers better performance thanks to a pair of the advanced GCN-based AMD Fiji XT chips that collectively feature 8192 stream processors. These cores, clocked at 1000 MHz each, sit on the GPU base right next to the stacks of High Bandwidth Memory - a total of 8 GB with 4096-bit interface and up to 1024 GB/s throughput. Third generation of GCN architecture with asynchronous shaders means full native support for DirectX 12 and Vulkan APIs as well as AMD LiquidVR technology.

Product features

• AMD LiquidVR
  LiquidVR is dedicated to making VR as comfortable and realistic as possible by creating and maintaining what's known as "presence" - a state of immersive awareness where situations, objects, or characters within the virtual world seem "real." Guided by close collaboration with key technology partners in the ecosystem, LiquidVR uses AMD's GPU software and hardware sub-systems to tackle the common issues and pitfalls of achieving presence, such as reducing motion-to-photon latency to less than 10 milliseconds. This is a crucial step in addressing the common discomforts, such as motion sickness, that may occur when you turn your head in a virtual world and it takes even a few milliseconds too long for a perspective to be shown.
• High Bandwidth Memory
  Introducing HBM, a type of memory chip with low power consumption, ultra-wide communication lanes and a stacked configuration. HBM's vertical stacking and fast information transfer open the door for truly exciting performance in great form factors. And GPU applications are just the start - look for HBM's superior power efficiency and space savings and enjoy the power.
• AMD Freesync technology
  AMD FreeSync technology allows a compatible graphics card and monitor to dynamically change frame rates for the optimum display quality without tearing.
• DirectX 12
  DirectX 12 is a "console-like" graphics API from Microsoft that empowers game developers with more direct and obvious control of PC hardware. This direct or "explicit" control better exposes the hardware resources of AMD Radeon GPUs to yield higher hardware throughput and, ultimately, more performance for users. To put it simply: much more efficient hardware through smarter software! At the discretion of a game developer, this superior efficiency can be spent on higher framerates, lower latency (VR), lower power consumption, better image quality, or some calculated balance of all four. In any scenario, gamers stand to benefit greatly from choosing AMD hardware to run their favorite DirectX 12 game.
• AMD Eyefinity technology
  AMD Eyefinity technology expands the traditional limits of desktop computing by multiplying your screen area. With multiple monitors, games become more immersive, workstations become more useful and you become more productive. Take your PC games to the next level of reality and immersion. Most modern games look great on three screens, and only AMD Radeon graphics offer you the ability to play across five screens for an eye-popping gaming experience. Other combinations and configurations with up to six screens work too.
• AMD Crossfire
  AMD CrossFire technology is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. Unlocking game-dominating power, AMD CrossFire harnesses the power of two or more discrete graphics cards working in parallel to dramatically improve gaming performance. AMD CrossFire technology ready graphics cards fit practically every budget. With the flexibility to combine two, three or four GPUs, AMD CrossFire technology is the perfect solution for those who demand extreme performance.
