ATI FirePro V8800: most powerful pro graphics to date

AMD have outed their latest graphics card, and the ATI FirePro V8800 has set its sights on your workstation. Described as “the most powerful professional graphics card ever created”, the V8800’s 1600 stream processors offer 2.6 teraflops of power with 147.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth; a single card can drive four 30-inch displays and – if paired with the ATI FirePro S400 Synchronization Module – those panels can all be synchronized, too.

There’s obviously OpenGL, OpenCL and DirectX 11 support, along with DirectCompute 11, and the V8800 is optimized for more than 90 pro-graphics packages. Connectivity includes four DisplayPort ports, and there’s 2GB of GDDR5 memory.

That optimization, meanwhile, is handled intelligently, with the FirePro V8800 automatically switching drivers when you move between different apps; that way the card is always performing at its best. Unsurprisingly, this sort of performance doesn’t come cheap: the ATI FirePro V8800 has an MRSP of $1,499.
