It's been some time since we've seen any new
FireGL
cards from
AMD, but
just recently a whole new range has been launched bringing new technologies to
the workstation graphics card sector.
The FireGL V3600, based on the 65nm RV630 Pro core, is aimed at entry level
workstations, particularly CAD and DCC users with support for both DirectX10 and
OpenGL2.1.
It also brings AMD's Unified Shader technology to this market segment - the
V3600 has a total of 120 shader units.
The V3600 is the first entry level 256MB card with two dual-link DVI outputs
allowing it to drive large, high-resolution monitors. The 256MB of Ram runs
through a 128-bit memory bus giving a total bandwidth of 16GBytes/sec.
