To meet the high demands of the professional world, ATI has unveiled its FirePro V8750 to join the AMD line of ultra high-end professional graphics hardware.

Basic Specifications:

* 800 shaders, the highest number of shader engines of the entire 3D professional graphics offerings
* 115.2 GB/s, the highest memory bandwidth of the entire 3D professional graphics offerings
* Intelligent management of computational resources, which enables enhanced utilization of the GPU to enable real-time rendering of complex models and scenes with high frame rates when animating
* 2 GB of GDDR5 frame buffer memory
* 30 percent more bandwidth than the comparable competing solution
* Latest memory technology, GDDR5, for superior bandwidth and power consumption
* Two DisplayPort outputs, one Dual Link enabled DVI output and one Stereo sync output
* Native multi-card support



AMD is also announcing the availability of ATI CrossFire Pro technology, enabling users to combine two discrete graphics cards to scale their application performance for maximum productivity. By connecting the two graphics cards through an interconnect cable, the new technology is designed to provide a significant performance boost to CAD and DCC applications.

Initial support is provided for Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit) with support for other operating systems scheduled to follow in the second half of 2009.

Janet Matsuda, senior director, AMD Professional Graphics states, "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."

"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," stated David Koenig, CEO of StudioGPU.

The ATI FirePro V87503D workstation graphics accelerator is available now at the MSRP of $1,799, and can be bought from OEMs, system integrators and channel partners worldwide.
