AMD launches new 3D graphics card

SUNNYVALE, USA: US chip maker AMD, today announced that ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator is joining the AMD line of ultra high-end professional graphics hardware.

ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator brings the highest number of shader engines (800) with the highest memory bandwidth (115.2 GB/s) in the entire 3D professional graphics offerings which enables professionals to render incredibly complex models and photo-realistic images in real-time.

The ultra parallel processing architecture of the ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator maximizes throughput by automatically directing graphics horsepower where it’s needed. Intelligent management of computational resources enables enhanced utilization of the GPU to enable real-time rendering of complex models and scenes with high frame rates when animating, said a press release.

This acceleration is accessed through ATI Stream technology, a set of advanced hardware and software technologies that enable a system to dynamically balance workloads by tapping both the CPU and a GPU in a workstation to enable accelerated application performance.

With ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator, applications that take advantage of the shader units and memory bandwidth perform significantly better than what they do with competing solutions.

Featuring 2GB of GDDR5 frame buffer memory, engineers and designers are free to focus on project work without concerns for memory limitations that have traditionally impacted professional applications.

ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator offers thirty percent more bandwidth than the comparable competing solution, and it’s equipped with the latest memory technology, GDDR5, for superior bandwidth and power consumption.

“Digital content creation and high end CAD users have been held hostage to high-priced solutions for advanced rendering,” said Janet Matsuda, senior director, AMD Professional Graphics.

He added that the ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator delivers unparalleled performance and 2GB of frame buffer memory for less than $1,800 MSRP. Creative and engineering professionals could now afford the powerful graphics they deserve.

“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,” said David Koenig, CEO, StudioGPU.
