ATI FirePro V8750 flagship 3D video card with CrossFire Pro unleashed

AMD has unveiled its latest high-end professional 3D graphics card which claims to have four times the processing power and improved memory bandwidth over its contender systems. Dubbed as the FirePro V8750, this new workstation accelerator packs in a 2GB memory card with range-topping 115.2GB/sec bandwidth, along with 800 shader engines. It also allows professionals to offer extremely compound models and photo-realistic images in real-time.

The outputs of the device comprises of two display ports and a single dual-link DVI output, with one Syerreo sync output which provides maximum resolutions. Furthermore it also has native multi-card support. This allows users to see and do more by utilizing four displays by adding a second ATI FirePro 3D graphics accelerator in the same workstation. The acceleration is accessed through the ATI stream technology. This enables the system to vigorously balance workloads by tapping both the CPU and a GPU in a workstation, providing accelerated application performance.

“Digital content creation and high end CAD users have been held hostage to high-priced solutions for advanced rendering,” commented Janet Matsuda, senior director, AMD Professional Graphics. “The ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator delivers unparalleled performance and two GB of frame buffer memory for less than $1,800 MSRP. Creative and engineering professionals can now afford the powerful graphics they deserve.”

“We’re amazed at the performance boost to our already fast MachStudio Pro real-time 3D workflow and rendering product with the new ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator,” shared David Koenig, CEO, StudioGPU. “Powered by the new ATI FirePro workstation graphics accelerator, the MachStudio Pro non-linear real-time 3D finishing workflow enables design firms and 3D artists everywhere to power through big, complex projects amazingly fast. Thanks to the ATI graphic accelerators, small and mid-size studios can now work at the speed of thought to streamline workflow in a way that was impossible for the largest and most fully equipped production facilities as little as a year ago.”

The FirePro V8750 has two, independent display controllers, along with the UVD 2 for H.264/AVC, VC-1 and MPEG-2 footage. It also provides compatibility with both ATI CrossFire Pro and ATI’s FirePro S400 framelock/genlock synchronization module.

The ATI FirePro V8750 is available at a price of $1,799 (approx. 87,155).
