AMD Announces 16 TFLOP Radeon Pro Duo (hothardware.com)

MojoKid writes: Remember that Radeon R9 Fury X2 graphics card that AMD CEO Lisa Su showed off months ago? We were previously lead to believe that the dual-GPU graphics card would deliver performance of around 12 TFLOPs. However, the card will actually deliver in excess of 16 TFLOPs. AMD says that this is more than enough to allow developers to "Develop content more rapidly for tomorrow's killer VR experiences while at work, and playing the latest DirectX 12 experiences at maximum fidelity while off work." And the Radeon R9 Fury X2 name? That's dead and buried — the card is now known as the Radeon Pro Duo. Not much is known about the new card at this point but the Radeon Pro Duo will apparently be available during the second quarter with an estimated street price of $1,499.

Great more TFLOP's by NotDrWho · 2016-03-15 00:45 · Score: 4, Insightful

More TFLOP's are great. But what I'm really interested in out of AMD are:
1) Better driver support
2) Something to compete with Nvidia's Physx, Gameworks, built-in video encoding, etc.
3) Better support from game developers
I recently abandoned the red team because I got sick of waiting for them to get their act together while Nvidia got all the developer and exclusive-feature love.
