CAD2 are pleased to announce the launch of AMD/ATI's latest professional workstation graphics card the High End FireGL V7700.

Extending Leadership in Image Quality
Introducing the ATI FireGL™ V7700 workstation graphics accelerator from AMD. This high end workstation solution with 512 MB on-board frame buffer memory is the industry’s first commercially available 3D workstation graphics accelerator to feature a Display Port® output. With a full 10-bit display pipeline, the ATI FireGL V7700 is ideally suited for applications that benefit from accurate color reproduction and superior visual quality.

• Display Port® output for superior 10-bit image quality
• Scalable ultra parallel processing architecture with 320 unified shaders
• Auto Detect instinctively optimizes performance for multi-application workflow
• Dual Link DVI output for driving ultra high resolution widescreen monitors
• High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering with 8, 10 & 16-bit per RGB color component support
• Hardware acceleration of DirectX® 10.1 and OpenGL® 2.1 advanced features
• Optimized and certified for many CAD and DCC applications
• PCI Express® 2.0 compliant

Next Generation Professional Graphics Accelerators
Based on a new generation GPU with 320 unified shader units, the ATI FireGL V7700 ultra parallel processing architecture helps maximize throughput by automatically directing graphics horsepower where it’s needed. Intelligent management of computational resources enables enhanced utilization of the GPU to enable real-time rendering of complex models and scenes while maximizing frame rate performance when animating.

New Flexibility in Display Output Configurations
The ATI FireGL V7700 features a Display Port® output and a Dual Link DVI output, together generating a multi-monitor desktop of over 5000 pixels wide. Featuring native multi-accelerator support, users can see more and do more with four displays being driven by two ATI FireGL accelerators in the same workstation.

World Class Performance, Reliability, and Support
ATI FireGL workstation graphics accelerators are thoroughly tested and certified with major Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Digital Content Creation (DCC) applications, ensuring a level of reliability not typically found in consumer graphics products. ATI FireGL unified drivers simplify installation, deployment, and maintenance. AMD offers direct customer access to a dedicated professional class technical support team.

CAD2 are pleased to offer the FireGL V7700 512MB Graphics Card throughout their entire VISON Workstation series. For further information please contact us on 0800 180 4801.
