AMD releases most powerful GPU

AMD today announced the release of its most powerful, albeit most costly, 3D graphics card to the market.

The ATI Firepro V8750 is aimed at workstation professionals who utilise programs such as CAD which require high levels of 3D rendering and processing. According to AMD it offers four times the processing power and memory bandwidth of competing solutions.

The V8750 features 800 shader engines and a memory bandwidth of 115.2GB/s. In addition it includes 2GB of GDDR5 frame buffer memory, a dual link enabled DVI output and a Stereo sync output and 90 certifications for independent software providers.

This combination means that through the use of an ATI Firepro 3D graphics accelerator engine in the same workstation the V8750 can display on up to four monitors.

“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. “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.”

The V8750 is currently available at a price of $1,799 (R13,870).
