Radeon Vega Frontier Edition vs Radeon Pro Duo
Summary
Reasons to consider Radeon Vega Frontier Edition |
| 50 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the Radeon Pro Duo . |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
| Supports FreeSync |
| Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Supports TrueAudio |
| Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider Radeon Pro Duo |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
| Supports FreeSync |
| Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Supports TrueAudio |
| Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends Radeon Pro Duo
