VR-Zone mentions that AMD is baking a new dual-GPU graphics card. The AMD Radeon R9 290 X2 it could be called would be based on two R9 290X GPUs slapped on one PCB. Do the math en realize that's a nice whopping 5632 Stream Processors, 352 TMUs and 128 ROPs at your disposal.

VR-Zone states that the card would carry the codename Vesuvius. Ah well, gossip all over again. Then again, this is good gossip :)

It's going to produce some ridiculous heat.

Hopefully it comes with a liquid cooler or something.
