Reliability for Digital Content Creation Community
LOS ANGELES — Today at SIGGRAPH
2010, AMD (NYSE: AMD)
announced that its latest generation of ATI FirePro professional
graphics cards have received 47 application certifications from leading
ISVs. In addition, a soon to be released beta driver
is expected to deliver considerable performance gains on popular
computer aided design (CAD) and digital content creation (DCC)
applications over the previous generation. End-users will have the
opportunity to experience the latest ATI FirePro professional graphics
solutions at the show. Demonstrations will showcase an extensive
ecosystem of software partners and customers that bring to life superior
realism, workflow productivity and application performance.
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 across the board performance increases
for the latest generation ATI
FirePro graphics on the LightWave 3D subset of the new SPECviewperf
11 benchmark, with the entry-level ATI FirePro V3800 achieving a 62
percent performance gain and the ultra high-end ATI FirePro V8800
achieving an 81 percent gain, compared to the previous driver2.
