Rage3D attended AMD’s GDC 2013 press event and spoke with key figures to find out more about their Gaming Unified program and where Radeon graphics powered by GCN – Graphics Core Next – are going in 2013.

AMD announced new products like AMD Radeon HD 7990, a dual-GPU video card – the fastest video card on AMD’s Radeon lineup and perhaps the world’s fastest too, this time with a cooling solution newer to Radeon series (but already seen on FirePro series) that’s expected to give whisper quiet operation, accordingly to AMD words.
