ATI Fire GL Display Port

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

AMD have claimed to have created the first workstation graphics card with Display Port support. The AMD/ATI graphics cards are from their FireGL range which are aimed at computer aided design.

ATI stated that they would create the first display port at the start of 2007, it looks like ATI have made their so called dead line. The ATI Fire GL product range is adaptive for all price ranges.

Albert Xthona stated “The ATI Fire GL product line has the accuracy and speed needed for medial imaging applications like mammography screening” he further explains 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 the 10-bit gray and 30-bit colour rendering.

The card features 512 MB of memory and a dual link DVI output creating dual monitor support. The board uses PCI-E which will help with high data bandwidths. The graphics card can pump out 5000 pixels wide (sub 2500 width resolution?) and each workstation is capable of running two cards. Four monitor support anyone?
