AMD today introduced the new ATI FireGL V7700, the first commercially available 3D workstation graphics card with
DisplayPort.
The ATI FireGL V7700 professional graphics accelerator provides high
rendering speed, 3D performance and color fidelity for Computer Aided
Design (CAD), Digital Content Creation (DCC) and Medical Imaging
professionals.
"The balanced power of the ATI FireGL product line has the accuracy
and speed needed for medical imaging applications like mammography
screening," said Albert Xthona, product manager for Digital
Mammography at Barco. "For example, Mammography viewing uses 10-bit
precision to help deliver the most information to the eye of the
radiologist, and increasingly other medical applications will rely on
10-bit gray and 30-bit color rendering. With the additional speed
offered by the PCI Express 2.0 interface, very large data sets are
handled smoothly, saving time for busy medical staff."
The new ATI FireGL V7700 workstation graphics accelerator with
DisplayPort support features a 10-bit display engine, a DisplayPort
interface and PCI Express 2.0. It supports
Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Linux operating systems. The
unified driver, which supports all ATI FireGL workstation products,
helps reduce the total cost of ownership by simplifying installation.
Additional features include 512MB of memory, Dual Link DVI Output and
the AutoDetect feature, which automatically directs graphics
horsepower where it?s needed most.
The ATI FireGL V7700 3D workstation graphics accelerator card is
expected to begin shipping in April 2008 and will be available from
system integrators and AMD channel partners worldwide. The MSRP is
$1,099 USD.
