Not just offering solutions for mainstream personal computer users and hardcore gaming enthusiasts, AMD-owned graphics processing unit ATI Technologies has this week unveiled its new FireGL V7700 graphics accelerator, which has been developed specifically for placement in the professional 3D and imaging arenas.

Arriving as the first commercially available 3D workstation graphics card equipped with DisplayPort support, the FireGL V7700 offers users access to the advantages associated with superior rendering speed, 3D performance and colour fidelity for Computer Aided Design (CAD), Digital Content Creation (DCC) and Medical Imaging professionals.
According to AMD/ATI, the FireGL V7700 will deliver top-quality image performance in order to create photorealistic visualisations of real-world objects, detailing and environments by providing the likes of professional designers, and even members of the medical community, with the benefits associated with ‘The Ultimate Visual Experience.’
“The balanced power of the ATI FireGL product line has the accuracy and speed needed for medical imaging applications like mammography screening,” said Albert Xthona, product manager for Digital Mammography at Barco.
“For example, Mammography viewing uses 10-bit precision to help deliver the most information to the eye of the radiologist, and increasingly other medical applications will rely on 10-bit gray and 30-bit color rendering,” added Xthona. “With the additional speed offered by the PCI Express 2.0 interface, very large data sets are handled smoothly, saving time for busy medical staff.”
The FireGL V7700 is compatible with a wide range of professional operating environments (including Windows XP/Vista and Linux), and it also features a 10-bit display engine capable of producing more than one billion colours at any given time.
The new graphics accelerator also brings 512MB of memory with it, along with Dual Link DVI Output, Application Certification and AutoDetect.
The ATI FireGL V7700 3D workstation graphics accelerator card is pencilled in for a shipping arrival of April 2008, and will burn a hole in professional bank accounts to the tune of $1,099 USD.
