ATI and Nvidia Both Launch New Workstation Graphics

31.03.2009
AMD Tuesday announced the availability of the ATI FirePro V7750 graphics accelerator for the high-end market, ideally suited for graphics professionals working in engineering, digital content creation and scientific fields. The ATI FirePro V7750's 1GB of frame-buffer memory and 30-bit display pipeline can generate a multi-monitor desktop of more than 5000 pixels wide in a single-slot form factor, aided by multiple DisplayPort outputs and a Dual Link enabled DVI output.

The ATI FirePro V7750 graphics accelerator is available on HP Workstations. The new generation GPU with 320 unified stream processing units, the ATI FirePro V7750's ultra parallel processing architecture maximizes throughput by automatically directing graphics horsepower where it's needed. In addition, the card accelerates ATI Stream applications, utilizing the GPU to offload the CPU for specific compute-intensive workloads.

The press release said that AMD works closely with leading ISV partners, including Autodesk and Dassault Systems, to implement optimizations that enable their software solutions to take better advantage of the latest hardware developments.

Pricing and Availability

The new ATI FirePro V7750 graphics accelerator is available now with an MSRP of US$899 (Rs. 46,000). ATI FirePro graphics accelerators are available from OEMs, system integrators and channel partners worldwide.
