Features
Certified Applications
AMD FirePro™ graphics accelerators are carefully certified by AMD and leading software vendors for use with the most widely used software applications to help ensure stable, optimized performance, outstanding productivity and unbeaten user experiences professionals demand.
- Engineering and Design (CAD/CAE/AEC)
- Digital Content Creation (DCC) & Digital Media
- Geographical Information Systems (GIS) & Visualization
- Life Sciences
- Oil & Gas
28nm Graphic Core Next (GCN) Architecture
The new 28nm GCN Architecture with more efficient process technology puts more transistors in less space, enabling a dramatic increase in processing power and graphics performance.
- Each compute unit can execute instructions from multiple kernels at once
- Design for high-utilization, high-throughput, and multi-tasking
- Dual geometry Engines for faster triangle ("primitive") processing
- First GPU family to fully support OpenCL 1.2 and DirectX 11
Full 30-Bit Display Pipeline
With a full 30-bit display pipeline producing more than one billion colors (10-bit per RGB component). The AMD FirePro™ is ideally suited for applications that benefit from accurate color reproduction and superior visual quality.
PowerTune
This state of the art power management technology provides direct control over GPU power usage. Applications enjoy ultimate performance with dynamic clock optimization, while minimizing workstation energy usage.
AMD ZeroCore Power Technology
AMD ZeroCore Power Technology is an AMD exclusive innovation. Up to 95% idle power reduction by shutting down GPU.
Quad HD Display Support (4K Support)
4K (4096 x 2160-pixel) support for ultra-high-resolution display devices and advanced configurations through DisplayPort 1.2 and AMD Catalyst Pro drivers ensures future-forward compatibility for advanced workflows.
Projector Overlap Support
Easily refine display alignment settings when configuring multiple, high resolution display devices or projectors.
Discrete Digital Multi-Point Audio (DDMA)
DisplayPort 1.2 simultaneously outputs multiple, independent audio streams.
Bezel Compensation
Stretch display resolutions to prevent bezel interference and image distortion when displaying a single large image across multiple displays.
Partially Resident Texture (PRT)
Graphics memory behaves as a hardware-managed cache. Data can be streamed in on demand.
Video Codec Engine (VCE)
Powerful, "fixed-function" multi-stream hardware dramatically improves the performance of H.264 HD encoding for a range of applications and pipelines.
HydraVision
Use HydraVision to manage desktop displays and workspaces in multi-display environments:
- Explicitly set the behavior of pop-up windows and dialogs in different applications though Desktop Manager.
- Provide multiple layers of the desktop workspace through Multi Desktop.
- Restrict application window placement across multiple desktops through HydraGrid.
Display Output Post Processing
Display Output Post Processing, or D.O.P.P., provides software applications with access to a FirePro GPU's framebuffer before content reaches the card's signal output stage. This functionality enables ISVs and OEMs with added flexibility and performance they can leverage to create new, exciting and innovative methods for creating and displaying visual content.
AutoDetect Technology
AMD FirePro™ products incorporate a unique AutoDetect technology. As users open new 3D applications, or move between them, optimized AMD FirePro™ graphics driver settings are automatically configured for maximum performance, no matter what the user's workflow demands.
Low Power Consumption
AMD is devoted to saving energy, and see to it that their products provide customers with the highest efficiency possible through sophisticated design. AMD is working with their customers to protect Earth's vital resources. AMD's FirePro™ workstation graphics cards is your best multi-monitor systems and low-cost electricity idea.
Low Profile Design
Enables flexible installation in a variety of computing systems, from small form factors to full-height systems.

Pros: I like displayport, and our workstation monitors support it, so it is nice that the card has it.
Cons: Out of 5 cards bought for workstations all at the same time, only 2 cards are stable. The other 3 cards freeze, crash Solidworks, blackscreen with no recovery. The computers ran fine for over a year on integrated graphics, and they run fine again after pulling the Firepro cards out. Here is the catch: I call AMD and am told to contact Newegg (this is 1 year after purchase!) Newegg gives me the contact info for the manufacturer, Sapphire. (Understandably, this is a year after sale!) Sapphire tells me to contact Newegg, that they do not handle any warranty claims. (What!) So here I am, having spent too many company resources as it is pursuing this. I thought professional cards received some level of support, but apparently not. We're cutting our loses and just getting something more reliable. Sapphire and AMD are on our company's blacklist and we will spend what turns out to be LESS money to go with proven PNY/Quadro parts which have always provided support.
Overall Review: I talked my boss into trying out Firepro cards due to the great value they present. I'm looking pretty silly right now. If this purchase is for a professional workflow, and you need a card to make money with, then this is not your card. When it breaks (sometimes things break, that's fine) you will be left holding the bag and everyone will point you to someone else. You will receive no help.
