ATI Fire Pro V7750 hits channel
Pro card for graphics workstations
Friday, 27 March 2009, 10:53
AMD HAS ADDED A NEW PROFESSIONAL GRAPHICS CARD to its Fire Pro line-up in the shape of the Fire Pro V7750.
Aimed at power-users in the CGI, eingineering and scientific fields, the $900 card has a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface, 1GB of memory, 320 stream processors, a 30-bit display pipeline, a Dual Link-enabled DVI port and two DisplayPort outputs.
Don't expect to see this puppy sitting on the shelves at you local PC superstore, though, as it's only available to box builders and channel partners. It costs $900.
AMD says the cards will be turning up in high-end workstations from the likes of HP in the very near future. µ

900 for a graphic card... heck no.. maybe when hell freezes over.
However if the Nvidia CX was for 900 i would consider it. Same for tesla. But for any ati card.. NAH!!!
You haven't bought a card like that in the last five years have you?
... Thought not.
Is the gpu on this card a 3870? If so: LOL @ 900$
These are NOT your standard graphics cards like the hd4870/GTX290. These are "Specalized" cards for programs like CAD and drafting and 3d rendering. They always cost more than standard video cards because they don't work like our normal cards do. Educate yourself please, before you make outlandish statements about prices.
^^ Yep. In large part, you're paying for rock solid and optimised drivers and after sales support.
Specialized Cards people .. really !?!
look here..

people used to hack firegl drivers and run CAD and "Specialized" software on conventional card.
Muhammad: What you mainly pay for is the after sales service and driver support. These cards are not retail products, and while you can softmod most of the regular cards to accept the same commands, customer service will laugh at you if you call them with your 4860 and want support for CAD.
Why can't ATI and Nvidia give dimensions for their products!
A middle-school level tech spec writing class would require dimensions as a bare minimum. It's found nowhere in any data sheets for any products.
It's not like this is top secret info. It's useful only for people wondering whether it fits in their case. In my mind it's indicative of the mindset of these companies - they tell you want they want to say, not what you need to know.
The rule for GPU's seems to be "baffle 'em with bullshit if you can't dazzle 'em with your brilliance."
