Even though AMD no longer sees a future for CrossFire, reports are popping up about possible dual-GPU variants of Vega. WCCF Tech heard rumors that ASUS engineers are cooking up a "Radeon RX Vega X2 "video card with two full Vega 10 XT GPUs. The card will reportedly have a TDP of close to 600W.
If what we’re hearing is true, Asus will take those design liberties offered by AMD to the absolute max to make an absolute monster of a card featuring two full Vega 10 XT GPUs. With over 50 teraflops of FP16 compute, 25 teraflops of FP32 compute and nearing on 600W this card is set to be the world’s most powerful and most power hungry. At this juncture liquid cooling is no longer a luxury but an absolute necessity. The site claims this will be a limited edition production from ASUS, basically more of an engineering showcase rather than a product for the mass market.
