Earlier today, AMD announced its Radeon R9 Fury video cards and the R9/R7 300 series, but there are a couple other items it has, too. First up is Project Quantum, a small form factor gaming PC that packs two Fiji GPUs to deliver 4K gaming at 60 FPS. AMD states Project Quantum can deliver 17 teraflops of computing power and what should be some absolutely killer visuals. The GPUs are liquid-cooled, so this should be a quiet machine pumping out high performance. All of this is in a rather sweet looking case, which could be a centerpiece for any living room. Project Quantum is just a prototype, but it's a working prototype, as AMD CEO Lisa Su stated during the PC Gaming Show that it's actually running several demos at E3.

Now, powering Project Quantum is the Fiji XT dual-GPU card, with Su showing off the bare PCB of it. This card has two Fiji GPUs on the PCB, appeared to be powered by two 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and should have 8GB of HBM memory (4GB per core). Su didn't exactly give out any solid details about the dual-GPU card, so anything about its specifications will have to wait. Neither was a name, release date, or price announced with it, but hopefully we get word on that. I would have to imagine the dual-GPU card will have an integrated liquid cooler, just like the Fury X, but we'll just have to wait and see. AMD does have the dual-GPU card coming at some point, so keep it tuned right here for any information on it!
