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: For those that use computers for Digital Media creation this is a good solid card. Only the Quadro and FirePro models from AMD & NVidia respectively providing the 10-bit color workflow that quadruples the color space and tonality required for accurate gradation. As other reviewers here have noted this card is a slightly better performer than the current generation of iGFX integrated video cards on the Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Skylake platforms which support up to three displays (but not 10-bit workflows). I notice LightRoom, PhotoShop and Premiere CC were all subjectively more "snappy" after replacing a FirePro 2270 with this card. This card features 4 mini Display Port 1.2a interfaces capable of driving 4 4K displays natively. It also includes a single Passive mini Display Port to DVI-D Single Link adapter. Note that the passive adapter is only single-link and thus can only drive a display with a maximum resolution of either 1920x1200 at 60Hz (16x10 aspect ratio) or 1920x1080 (16x9). As it is DVI-D there is no analog signaling pins and the use of a passive DVI-I to VGA (D-15) Adapter will not work. At under 50W TDP this card does not require additional power connections from the power supply and in most cases should not require a power supply upgrade but you should confirm this yourself as when adding any additional hardware. I am running this card in a system with the Intel C226 Haswell chipset PCH but due to an on-board LSI RAID controller the available PCIe3.0 x16 slot only has 8 lanes available but this card still works as per the PCI specifications. The card run more quietly than a Radeon HD5670 I had installed as a test but is smaller and unlike the Radeon is only 1 slot wide and a PCIe x1 FireWire or USB3 adapter in the adjacent x4 slot does not obstruct the fan opening. I am running 2 Asus Pro Art PA248Q monitors at 1920x1200 using native Display Port connectors and a NEC P221W at 1680x1050 using the supplied passive DVI-I adapter. Under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit all displays are recognized and the Desktop extends properly. The Asus Displays are in Portrait mode and the NEC in Landscape but other orientations work as well. Hint: Windows assigns the monitors from the top DP interface down. GPU Acceleration can be activated in Adobe LightRoom & PhotoShop using current drivers from AMD. 2 GB of GDDR5 is an adequate amount of VRAM for most uses. If you are using many layers in large files in PhotoShop you may benefit from more VRAM and might consider the W4300 instead which has twice the performance on most benchmarks and twice the VRAM and is twice the price of this card. There are very few filters in PhotoShop that can take advantage of OpenCL acceleration and for most people the upgrade with the most noticeable improvement will be to add more RAM. But a half-decent video card is still needed so this card is a good compromise so I decided to forego the W4300 and used the money saved for another 16GB memory kit bough here at the Egg. Though it is not listed here this card is manufactured by Sapphire as the exclusive manufacturer for the FirePro line.
Cons: I'm a little suspect of the fan on the heatsink. It's not huge but I have had smaller fans fail in the past but with AMDs three year warranty on the card if it does fail I will only be stuck with the shipping one-way. I've had to RMA FirePro Cards in the past and AMD support has been a pleasure to deal with and does provide advanced replacement. Hopefully the same can be said if one now has to deal with Sapphire. The Mini Display Port connectors are not as rugged as the Full Sized connectors and lack a latching mechanism. This is somewhat off-set by the cables being much lighter than comparable DVI cables.
Overall Review: Yes, I would recommend this product. It is a capable card for Business Productivity applications where multiple displays are required as well as light and medium Digital Media content creation. It provides good value for it's cost and if, like me, you are running a Xeon processor without Integrated Graphics is a quick way to get solid graphics supporting 3 or 4 displays easily and the ability to scale up to 6 displays using MST hubs. I purchased 2 6' and 1 10' Rosewill mini DP cables from the Egg with this card and they work well in my setup.
