AMD’s latest $1,000 Radeon Pro Duo puts 2 Polaris GPUs into one card

As AMD is rolling out its latest video cards for gamers with the Radeon 570 and 580, the company is now also aiming a new GPU directly at professionals who work in graphically intensive fields.

The company revealed its new Polaris-powered Radeon Pro Duo, which it is aiming squarely at people who need far more power than even some of the most demanding high-end games. Like the previous Pro Duo, this new model has two GPU chips inside of it that work in unison with one another. It also has a whopping 32GB of GDDR5 video memory and 72 compute units, which outputs 11.45 TFLOPS (floating point operations per second). This should help artists working on virtual reality content or people who want to run multiple 4K monitors off of the same computer. The Pro Duo will also compete with Nvidia’s lineup of Quadro workstation GPUs.
