For all of the acclaim the unofficially named R9 Fury X2 has garnered, AMD hasn\u2019t done much more than wave a dual-chip PCB in the year, proclaiming it the best GPU for virtual reality and calling it a day.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s been the case for very nearly every event the Fury X2 is brought up in conversation, followed by AMD\u2019s assurance that the card is kind of\u2026 sort of ready, and that it has just been delayed to coincide with the release of VR headsets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been talking about AMD\u2019s dual-Fiji GPU, codenamed \u2018Gemini\u2019, for some time now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A lot of that discussion has centred on the use of two Fiji XT chips, the same chip that powers the beastly Radeon R9 Fury X<\/a>, on a single PCB.<\/p>\n

The result is 8192 stream processors, 8GB of HBM (first generation<\/a>) memory and more than a terabyte a second of bandwidth.<\/p>\n

Even the GeForce GTX Titan X would shiver at the site of this card.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Well, it seems like a report by Benchlife.info<\/a> last year that the card would receive a soft launch during February or March<\/a> was right on the money.<\/p>\n

In fact, during VRLA 2016 Winter Expo in Los Angeles, which just recently took place, AMD\u2019s Roy Taylor not only revealed the compute performance the card is capable of, but Falcon Northwest demonstrated their latest ultra-compact Tiki PC, which just happens to use a Fury X2.<\/p>\n

Big thanks to @AMDRadeon<\/a> engineers for making this possible! Dual Fiji's in our 4-inch wide PC is insane! https:\/\/t.co\/YT272DCKJB<\/a><\/p>\n
