AMD launches three new graphic cards

AMD India has launched three different graphic cards- the AMD Radeon R9 285 graphics card, AMD FirePro W9100 professional graphics and FirePro W8100. The Radeon R9 285 graphics card brings the robust feature set of AMD’s Radeon R9 290 series graphics, like support for Project FreeSyncand AMD TrueAudio technology, to even more gamers. The AMD Radeon R9 285 graphics card has been designed to run the most demanding games with ultimate settings at 1080p and beyond.

Detailed specifications of AMD Radeon R9 285 graphics cards include:

• 1,792 stream processing units 
• Up to 918MHz engine clock
• 2GB GDDR5 memory
• Up to 5.5Gbps memory clock speed 
• FLOPS Single Precision compute power  
• API support for DirectX® 12, OpenGL 4.3 and Mantle
• Support for AMD Eyefinity technology
• Support for Project FreeSync
• Support for AMD TrueAudio technology

The AMD FirePro W9100 graphics features and benefits include:

FLOPS of peak double-precision GPU compute performance - AMD FirePro W9100 graphics cards feature ½ rate double precision¹, enabling more than 2TFLOPS of peak double precision performance on a graphics processor for the first time. Unlike competing cards that are not optimized for double precision, AMD FirePro W9100 workstation graphics cards offer the most double precision performance, completing compute-intensive tasks faster than ever believed possible.³

TFLOPS of peak single-precision GPU compute performance - Helps speed up time required to complete single precision operations used within Simulations, Post Production and Effects, Signal Processing, Video Transcoding and Digital Rendering applications where high performance takes precedence over accuracy.

16GB GDDR5 Memory - Allows users to work at a whole new level of speed and responsiveness with a 512-bit memory interface and 320 GB/s of memory bandwidth to edit 4K video, layer in multiple effects and color correct on the fly, or load massive assemblies and data sets and manipulate them in real time.

Multi-GPU Support - Combine up to four AMD FirePro W9100 workstation graphics cards in a single desktop system and leverage the combined processing power to work with multiple 4K video streams in real-time, layer in effects, make color corrections and edits on the fly.

4K Resolution - With six Mini DisplayPort 1.2 outputs, the AMD FirePro W9100 can drive up to six 4K displays.

OpenCL 2.0 Support- Professionals can tap into the parallel computing power of modern GPUs and multicore CPUs to accelerate compute-intensive tasks in leading CAD/CAM/CAE and Media & Entertainment applications that support OpenCL. The AMD FirePro W9100 graphic card is designed forOpenCL 2.0, allowing developers to take advantage of new features that give GPUs more freedom to do the work they are designed to do.

The AMD FirePro Ultra Workstation features:

Multi-GPU support based on the new AMD FirePro W9100

Ready for OpenCL 2.0 applications

Multi-display support for4K and beyond     

AMD FirePro W9100 has been available since this spring from AMD’s global distribution partner SAPPHIRE Technology, AMD FirePro Ultra Workstation providers, and in HP Z820 and HP Z620 Workstations for customer or channel integration.

The AMD FirePro W8100 is the ideal professional-grade solution for CAD as well as applications dedicated to video editing, color correction, compositing, design visualization and GPU-accelerated compute tasks. The AMD FirePro W8100 features 8GB of ultra-fast GDDR5 on-board memory, designed to empower workstation users to load much larger datasets or handle ultra-HD video frames on the GPU’s internal memory for processing, diminishing lag while improving the overall responsiveness of the workstation. Up to four AMD FirePro W8100 cards can be combined in a single system for scalable GPU compute performance of over 16 TFLOPS. The AMD FirePro W8100 allows users to be productive with up to four 4K display support and certified application performance with differentiated graphics features.
