AMD Radeon Pro Duo: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

AMD started Radeon Pro Duo sales 26 April 2016 at a recommended price of $1,499 . This is a GCN 3.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 8 GB of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) memory clocked at 500 GHz are supplied, and together with 4096 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 512 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 277 mm. 3 8-pin power connectors are required, and power consumption is at 350 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 20.99% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

Combined synthetic benchmark score

This is our combined benchmark performance score. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
