AMD's professional graphics cards receives
47 application certifications
AMD has announced at SIGGRAPH 2010 that the ATI FirePro
professional graphics cards have received 47 application
certifications from leading ISVs. AMD also plans to release
a beta driver to deliver considerable performance gains
on computer aided design (CAD) and digital content creation
(DCC) applications. The latest ATI FirePro professional
graphics solutions will be demonstrated at the show.
"AMD is committed to delivering outstanding application
performance in ATI FirePro graphics solutions," said
Janet Matsuda, senior director of AMD Professional Graphics.
"For example, our latest driver update for ATI FirePro
increases performance by as much as 81 percent1 over the
previous generation, and in less than four months since
the launch of our current generation of ATI FirePro graphics
nearly 50 applications have been certified."
The new driver will offer users performance increases for
the ATI FirePro graphics on the LightWave 3D subset of the
new SPECviewperf 11 benchmark. AMD says that the entry-level
ATI FirePro V3800 achieves a 62 percent performance gain
and the ultra high-end ATI FirePro V8800 achieving an 81
percent gain, compared to the previous drivers.
The Application certification for ATI FirePro hardware
by leading publishers assures professionals these applications
will perform reliably.
