AMD Introduces New FireGL 7700

 

In reality, this card is still an RV670 with optimizations aimed at sectors as important as computer-aided design as well as other professional sectors as important as healthcare.

It has 512MB of memory, a double slot design very similar to that of the Radeon 3870 and will begin to be sold this April at a price of around $ 1100 and we do not know how it will be established. Here’s what AMD says about this release:

Madrid, March 30, 2008.- AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced today that it will boost the performance of amazing imaging applications with the launch of the first 3D graphics card for workstations with DisplayPort support available on the market. The ATI Fire ā„¢ V7700 Professional Graphics Accelerator delivers superior display speed, 3D performance and color fidelity for professionals in Computer Aided Design (CAD), Digital Content Creation (DCC) and medical imaging. ATI FireGL V7700 provides the optimal image quality needed to create photorealistic views of real-world objects and environments (such as a new airplane design or a home renovation) by offering designers The Best Visual Experience ā„¢.

ā€œ3D graphics and imaging professionals need innovative, high-performance solutions, and are turning to AMD more and more frequently for their real needs. The ATI FireGL ā„¢ range of workstation graphics accelerators is designed to offer remarkable benefits and performance leadership across all price ranges, whether you buy the most entry-level or the most sophisticated products, ā€said Janet Matsuda, CEO. from the AMD Professional Graphics area. “This accelerator with DisplayPort support is the latest example of AMD’s leadership in creating new graphics technologies that are ahead of other products.”

ā€œThe balanced power of the ATI FireGL product line has the precision and speed required for medical imaging applications such as mammography,ā€ commented Albert Xthona, Product Manager for Digital Mammography at Barco. ā€œFor example, for mammography visualization, 10-bit precision is used to provide the radiologist with as much information as possible, and more and more medical applications will be based on 10-bit gray gamut displays of the Gray code and visualizations 30-bit color. With the extra speed offered by the PCI Express 2.0 interface, large data sets can be easily managed, saving time for healthcare personnel. ”

The new ATI FireGL V7700 workstation graphics accelerator with DisplayPort support makes The Best Visual Experience ā„¢ a reality. The card includes a 10-bit display engine that can produce more than 1 billion colors at any given time, with unprecedented image fidelity at a lower price1.

“Our customers are keen to purchase the latest benchmark products such as DisplayPort and PCI Express 2.0 to make their work environments more productive while delivering next-generation display capabilities today,” said Peter Chen. , President of Exxact Corporation. ā€œAs an exceptional innovator and advocate of industry standards, it is no wonder that AMD was the first to create a graphics card with DisplayPort support. As with most AMD innovations, we are seriously committed to perfecting the product. ”

Leadership in value for money

ATI FireGL V7700 supports emerging technologies while optimizing to work with current technologies. ATI FireGL accelerators are designed to deliver continuous innovation and reliability on a wide range of professional operating systems, including MicrosoftĀ® WindowsĀ® XP, Windows VistaĀ®, and LinuxĀ®. The unified controller, compatible with all ATI FireGL workstation products, helps reduce total cost of ownership by simplifying installation, application, and maintenance. Some other benefits of interest are:

ā€¢ 512Mb of memory – Enables fluid, real-time interaction with large data sets and complex models or scenes.

ā€¢ Dual-link DVI output: Combining the DisplayPort output and a dual-link DVI output generates a multi-monitor desktop of over 5000 pixels from a single accelerator. Thanks to the original multi-card support, users have greater scope for viewing and performance when using four displays driven by two ATI FireGL products on the same workstation.

ā€¢ Application Certified – ATI FireGL ā„¢ Workstation Graphics Accelerators have been rigorously tested and certified with leading CAD and DCC applications, ensuring reliability and stability.

ā€¢ AutoDetect: Based on a new generation of GPUs with 320 unified shader units, the ATI FireGL V7700 maximizes performance by automatically directing graphics power where it is most needed. Intelligent management of computational resources, enabling enhanced GPU utilization with real-time displays of complex models and scenes while increasing frame rates.

Pricing and availability

The ATI FireGL ā„¢ V7700 3D Graphics Accelerator Card for Workstations is scheduled to begin shipping in April 2008 and will be available through AMD’s system integrators and distribution channel partners worldwide. . The price is $ 1,099. For more information about AMD ATI FireGL products, visit http://ati.amd.com/products/firegl.html.
