In a run up to next week's Siggraph 2009 conference in New Orleans, AMD launched its most powerful FirePro card to date - FirePro V8750 2GB. This successor to 2900XT-based V8650 2GB is based on RV770 architecture [Radeon 4870], but features 2GB of ultra-fast GDDR5 memory. The card boasts 115.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, a record in the world of professional graphics - given that previous fastest card had 102 GB/s [nVidia Quadro FX 5800], it just goes to show the advantages of GDDR5 memory over previous memory standards. AMD is pitching this card against Quadro CX and FX4800, which is visible in the output department too: V8750 comes with single DVI-I output and two DisplayPorts, just like FX4800. It looks like the new standard for visual professionals is two displays connected via DisplayPort and a DVI output for legacy displays or a HDMI adapter. But AMD didn't just release one single card. Starting with FirePro V8750, the company is now finally supporting multiple graphics cards, using ATI CrossFire Pro technology. By using CrossFire Pro-approved cable, you can connect two graphics cards and enjoy in 1600 shader processors rendering a single viewport in a visual app such as 3ds Max, AutoCAD, Maya, modo, Pro/Engineer, CATIA or the newcomer, MachStudio Pro.
