$1,499? Not bad for a workstation-level GPU solution.
Now with gamers and other PC enthusiasts enjoying ATI's 40nm Evergreen family of GPUs, AMD is expanding it into the professional space meant for CAD, Digital Content Creation (DCC), Broadcast, Medical Imaging and Financial Services.
AMD today announced its new FirePro V8800 professional GPU with support for ATI Eyefinity technology. AMD boasts that the FirePro V8800 delivers 2.6 teraflops of raw computing power with the highest memory bandwidth (147.2 GB/s) available in any single-card professional graphics solution.
If you're feeling the squeeze from the price tag of a Radeon HD 5970, then know that the pros have to pay $1499 USD for the FirePro V8800, which is considered affordable as it's $300 less than the previous generation.
ATI Eyefinity technology now expands outputs to three and four display desktop configurations to drive up to four independent displays for 16.4 million pixels in total resolution.
"Autodesk recognizes the importance of having our customers invest in a professional graphics solution," said Jim White, director of Global Alliances, Autodesk. "Together with AMD, a leader in the professional graphics space, we’re able to provide Autodesk users with visually accurate, high performance creative tools. We look forward to working with AMD and the next generation of ATI FirePro graphics to enable our customers with exceptional productivity."
