Features and Benefits

AMD Eyefinity Technology

Industry-leading multidisplay technology enabling highly immersive and unrivaled multitasking experience across up to four displays, powered by a single AMD FirePro™ W7000 graphics card.³

GeometryBoost

Allows the GPU to process geometry data at a rate of twice per clock cycle resulting is a doubling in the rate of primitive and vertex processing. Triangle rates increase two-fold relative to a GPU that does not possess GeometryBoost.

DisplayPort 1.2

Simultaneously output multiple, independent audio streams and display content at resolutions beyond standard HD (maximum resolution of 4096x2160).

Energy Efficient Design

AMD PowerTune technology dynamically optimizes GPU power usage and AMD ZeroCore Power technology significantly reduces power consumption at idle.⁶

Framelock/Genlock

Ensures accurate and consistent video synchronization to external sources or multiple GPUs in different systems.⁷

Video Codec Engine (VCE)

A multistream hardware H.264 HD encoder, for power efficient and quick video encoding.

AMD Eyefinity For Professionals

AMD FirePro™ W7000 has a triangle rate of 1.85 billion triangles per second compared to Nvidia Quadro 4000 which is capable of 0.89 billion triangles per second. As of May, 2013, the triangle rate of the Nvidia Quadro K4000 has not been published; however the higher performing K5000 processes only 1.8 billion triangles per second. See http://la.nvidia.com/content/PDF/product-comparison/Product_Comparison_Oct_2012.pdf. FP-46.
AMD FirePro™ W7000 offers 2GB of GDDR5 memory and 153.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, compared to Nvidia Quadro 4000 with 2GB GDDR5 memory and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and Quadro K4000 with 3GB GDDR5 memory and 134 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-desktop-gpus-specs.html for Nvidia product specs. FP-38.
AMD Eyefinity technology can support up to six DisplayPort displays using a single enabled AMD graphics card. The number of supported displays varies by card model and board design; confirm specifications with the manufacturer before purchase. Additional hardware may be required. Utilizing DisplayPort 1.2 and Multi-Stream technology-enabled displays, connectors and/or hubs, a single graphics card may support up to two more displays than it has display outputs; limit six displays. Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, or Linux® is required to support more than 2 displays; Windows XP is no longer supported. AMD Eyefinity technology works with applications that support non-standard aspect ratios, which is required for panning across multiple displays. SLS (“Single Large Surface”) functionality requires an identical display resolution on all displays. See www.amd.com/firepro or www.amd.com/eyefinity for details.
AMD FirePro™ W7000 is capable of 2.4 TFLOPs of single precision floating point performance, compared to Nvidia Quadro 4000 with 486.4 GFLOPS of single precision and the Quadro K4000 with 1.24 TFLOPS of single precision. Visit http://www.nvidia.com/content/quadro/pdf/5409_NV_ProGraphicsSolutions_LineCard_FEB13_HR.pdf for Nvidia product specs. FP-39.
AMD FirePro™ W7000 and W8000 support DisplayPort 1.2, with a max resolution of 4096x2304 and support DisplayPort multi-stream transfer technology, that allows these quad-output cards to each drive up to six displays. Compared to Nvidia Quadro 6000 and 5000 that only support DisplayPort 1.1 with a max resolution of 2560x1600 and do not support DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-stream transfer technology. See http://www.nvidia.com/page/products.html. FP-40
AMD PowerTune and AMD ZeroCore Power are technologies offered by certain AMD FirePro™ products, which are designed to intelligently manage GPU power consumption in response to certain GPU load conditions. Not all products feature all technologies – check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities.
Requires ATI FirePro™ S400 synchronization module.
AMD CrossFire™ Pro technology requires an AMD CrossFire Pro-Ready motherboard, an AMD CrossFire Pro cable/connect and may require a specialized power supply. In addition, in order to take advantage of AMD CrossFire Pro technology, both AMD FirePro graphics cards must be of the identical product model (e.g. two AMD FirePro W7000 graphics cards).
Supports up to six independent displays, using DisplayPort connectors (DisplayPort cables not included). DVI support available via the two Mini DisplayPort to single-link DVI (active) adapters included. VGA output supported through DVI to VGA adapters, sold separately.
