AMD's dual-GPU Fury video card is still missing in action, we haven't heard a lot about it recently but the card did make an appearance at yesterday's Virtual Reality Los Angeles (VRLA) event.

It's been over seven months since AMD showcased the Fury X2 board so it's pretty strange this card is still not available on the market. Something does seem to be brewing though as Falcon Northwest used the dual-Fiji card inside its "Prototype Tiki" gaming PC at VRLA. Tiki is a 13" x 4" (330.2mm x 101.6mm) custom gaming PC, it was used at the event for HTC Vive headset VR demos.
At VRLA dual-Fiji graphics card was powering a ‘Prototype Tiki’ gaming machine by Falcon Northwest as revealed by Antal Tungler, the head of RTG marketing team. This custom PC was powering Virtual Reality demos using HTC Vive head mounted display.

So not only do we learn that Fury X2 exists and it fits into small 4-inch wide custom PC, but also that dual-Fiji card was already used for live VR presentation. That said, it shouldn’t take long before official introduction. We will keep you updated.
