AMD today added two new graphics cards to its FirePro series. The cards are based on Radeon HD architecture and are optimized for CAD modeling and other professional 3D applications. Both the new cards feature a 30-bit pipeline that can render images in up to one billion colors.
The top of the line V5700 has 320 shader processors, 512MB video memory, two DisplayPort and one dual-link DVI output. The card can support three 30-inch displays. It will ship in September for $599.
The entry-level V3700 comes with 40 shader units, 256MB video memory and two dual-link DVI outputs. AMD has already started shipping the card for $99. AMD claims that V3700 is the least expensive workstation graphics card on the market.
