AMD Launches New FirePro W9100 Graphics Card
AMD has chosen the NAB Show is often as the launch point for its new FirePro W9100, which was announced last month. AMD's new flagship FirePro video card is based on AMD's Hawaii GPU and bring various GCN 1.1 feature upgrades along with Hawaii's stronger overall performance and improved double precision (FP64) performance.
The W9100 is utilizing a full-fledged Hawaii GPU with all of its 2816 SPs and 64 ROPs to be active. The GPU is clocked at 930Mhz and has a board power of 275W. It also comes with 16GB of memory and will be utilizing Hawaii's full 512-bit memory bus, giving it 320GB/sec of memory bandwidth to access that RAM through.
