The Radeon Pro Duo is only a mere $1500 and barely sips energy at a miniscule 350 watts, you really need to keep that in mind.
Here we have nVidia violating us with a board that is barely any faster, uses a STAGGERING 180 watts and costs an OBSCENE $599- how can you people be so confused.......?
On a more serious note- I absolutely understand why on a technical, competitive and financial basis nVidia is using this strategy, but I'm really not a fan of getting a x80 part based on a x04 GPU. Completely understand all of the utterly valid reasoning behind it, and I also totally get with how shockingly inept AMD is there is no reason to do it differently(they absolutely *could*, but it would hurt the margins pretty badly).
Ben you just have not figured out yet:
Whatever AMD does is exactly the right and best way for it to be done.
Once you accept that truth, the posts you see on tech forums will make perfect sense.
