The AMD Radeon Pro Duo may will cost almost 1700 euros

[WYP]

A Spanish retailer has listed AMD's Radeon Pro Duo GPU for almost 1700 euros, making the Pro Duo much more expensive than two single R9 Fury X GPUs.

The successor to the Titan Z?

The successor to the Titan Z?

Wait...this is a nVidia AMD Radeon Pro Duo???

didn't the Titan Z not cost $3000

So 2 x Fury Nano GPU's on 1 PCB costs roughly upwards of £1,400 *according to Google conversion* yet you can buy 2 x Fury Nano GPU's separately for £379.99 each which will most likely outperform this.

Apart from the space saving and slightly lower temps I'm failing to see the point in this card considering it costs £640 more than getting separate Nano GPU's.

Because if, or when, it becomes the fastest single card in existence the price will be irrelevant. Just like every other time this happens. In applications where CF is appreciated a pair of Nano's decimate anything nVidia has ever done.

When any company make something which is inherently relatively low volume manufacture the price is always going to be high. How competitive this is from a price perspective would be missing the point. Even the Titan Z sold some cards and that got humiliated from every perspective by the 295X2. It's not really as simple as two cards on one PCB either is it: adding a PLX, designing a whole new reference PCB and developing probably one of the most complex coolers they have ever implemented. All for a card that even at £800 wouldn't sell huge numbers, that time invested needs to be paid for or justified.

Holy crap this GPU is going to cost some where near Titan Z money here when that was brand new. Sorry but epic fail on AMD, IMO there not going to sell many of these here.

'near'

Rumored Radeon Pro Duo - £1350
Titan Z at Launch - £3000 (+122%)

How about it being the single most powerful card for ITX systems? TBF the price is a bit mad but as with every AMD dual gpu ever it'll be AAA+ value in 6 months time and still faster than anything else on a single PCB.
Also we're basing this on Spanish pricing, which hasn't always been that good judging on what people have said on here. Its not Aussie level of bad pricing but still...

It looks like it might be my only option as nVidia haven't chucked anything dual GPU out to compete yet. If they do it better not be the top sweaty meme that was the Titan Z.

DUDE.....i'm talking about Australian pricing they love to mark up here bye 100's of dollars here.

But, Australian pricing is mostly cheaper than the UK. You just have a worthless currency so the numbers are higher. :mellow:

So surely thats a problem with the Aussie market not AMD? Just import it from Hong Kong.

 

[MrKambo]

you guys do realise the 295x2 cost $1499 when it came out.....

Price is irrelevant when you consider the R&D gone into something this

No it's AMD and the shops, Not trying to be rude but you guys don't understand how things work here and pricing. I don't try and understand how it works in UK or Europe i'm usually pretty good at picking prices when it comes to thing

When the AMD 295x2 was out here it was $1699.00 so this new GPU is going to be anywhere between $2000-2500 here every new gen of GPU's all ways has a mark up in price.

Also it's just not worth importing it from Hong Kong either.

I think we do.

You're a small market that isn't geographically near anywhere.

So you're guessing and not actually going on facts?

That is just a BS excuse these for companies to say that

I will go on what i think the pricing is going to be, like i said i have been pretty spot on lately for pricing

Clearly you don't because it's equally expensive to buy hardware here, most countries are relatively expensive in comparison with the US or Asia. I checked a fair few examples and if anything things are slightly cheaper in Australia, not quite the case with AMD hardware but still not a 120% discrepancy.

ASUS 980Ti Matrix Platinum

CPL - $1249 AUD (£678)
OCUK - $1269 AUD (£689)

EVGA GTX970 Superclocked ACX2.0

CPL - $515 AUD (£280)
OCUK - $532 AUD (£290)

Gigabyte GTX Titan X

CPL - $1569 AUD (£853)
OCUK - $1767 AUD (£960)

Sapphire Fury X

CPL - $999 AUD (£543)
OCUK - $937 (£509)

Well you got the pricing wrong on the 970 & the Fury X, either way it's still not going to be a cheap card my guess it's still going to be a $2000 or more GPU ^_^

Only because Australia is a very weird place. 90% here are either from the US or UK and no one cares about Australia's weird dollar.

Also to why the price is a bit higher than 2 Nanos: Aio cooler, High End PLX chip, a lot power phases and circuits on one board. Is an engineering marble and that has to be paid somehow.
